The Midnight Ocean Tarot

Second card reveal; the Ghost Shark/Chimaera!

This guy is like... 50% eyes. 

Sorry its been a quiet week. Hopefully I'll have some of the prototype products in to show you this coming week though. Stay tuned ~

First card reveal! The sea pig ~

Sea pig fact; they nurture tiny king crabs and allow them to hitch rides. 

More to follow ~

Sorry for the delay, my weekend is slammed!

A couple of you noticed already, but the minor arcana add-on is now available on the add-on page. You will need to manually add one to your pledge in order to receive one. The only exception is the 'full collection' pledge tier, which will get one automatically (it won't let me alter the listed items, but its in the description and you will have one in your package). 

The names and descriptions of a few of the existing pledge tiers/add-ons have also been altered slightly to make sure its extra clear what's included. Nothing has changed about which items are in there, only the names and descriptions.

Just to reiterate, this is an extra item that you will need to add to your pledge. Its listed under the add-on section.

You can change your pledge/add-ons any time before the end of the campaign, and you will be able to add it at the survey stage as well if you'd rather wait and see some of the artwork first :).

Thank you everyone for such a successful 48 hours, I appreciate you all.
Have a fantastic weekend. x

Alrighty! 

I added the new stretch goals, and a few extra pledge tiers. Nearly everything is unlocked already, so thank you everyone. 

If you added a lot of extra pins to your original pledge, then the bundles work out a little cheaper (and come with more freebies). If you just want the pins, scroll down for a half and full set bundle without any extras. 

Have a wonderful weekend ~

Sorry I'm slightly late!

You guys 🫣. Thank you so much. Its been a crazy first day, we exceeded every goal I had prepared.

So what next?

Well shortly I'll add a second page to the stretch goals, including the rest of the pins. That will include the five that aren't revealed yet, and I'll make a card version of the mystery mollusc to complete the set. As promised I'll also be adding some extra pledge tiers, including larger pin bundles. I can't offer a much higher discount on these pins because they're over 2in tall, so cost a bit more to produce; but I'll add a few incentives and a small discount. You can change your pledge at any time without losing out on your 48hr early bird rewards - they're tied to your email. Even if you cancel and repledge they'll still be there :).

I had a few more requests for the matching minor arcana, so I sat down and looked at the figures. I will have to pass up a couple of projects/events to get it completed in enough time not to delay fulfilment, so I'm setting the goal at £10k. If we hit this goal, the minor arcana will be added as an add-on option that you will manually have to add to your pledge. Because of the way the packaging is designed, you'll be able to fit it in the same box as the major arcana anyway - people who don't purchase the minor arcana will have an insert in the box to keep your cards presented neatly. This is just how this type of packaging works, per our manufacturer.

If we get that far, I'll show the concept sketches for the rest of the deck. Essentially, each suit will feature one species of fish (thus far we know the lanternfish, and probably a jellyfish; perhaps the tube worm but definitely something that lives near the thermal vents. Feel free to make suggestions!) and the court might feature more anatomical type drawings (my partner suggested tiny crowns, but I'm not sure it fits the vibe). 

Otherwise, right now the deck doesn't come with a guidebook. If we really push past the next set of stretch goals, then I'll look at adding one (that fits inside the box). I'm not confident writing one myself, so I would need to pay someone to help me and that would need to be factored into the goal. But we'll see! If we do end up adding a guidebook, it won't cost any extra.

Thank you all again ~
Stay tuned ;)
