There are only a few things we have left to finalize but we are for sure opening applications before the end of the week!
Sorry for the delay, we took a little longer than expected, but deciding card placements for every card in the minor arcana was a bit of an undertaking.
We’ll reveal the full list of cards soon, we’re working on expanded descriptions so artists will have an idea of what they’re applying for.
Neither! From this application we’re going to select which artist is going to draw which card, so we’re asking for links to your portfolio/blog with completed works, as well as your preference of card
We’re asking for 3 preferences minimum, 5 maximum.
None have been pre selected either, they’re all up for grabs!
We’ll also be asking if anyone is willing to draw multiple cards, but that’s totally optional and doesn’t change your chance of being selected in any way.
I am willing to add a place on the application where you can add notes with any additional card choices you would be willing to draw, BUT narrowing it down to 5 helps us better deliberate when it comes to assigning artists, I don’t want things to get TOO complicated
We would suggest not to link your art blog if there’s a lot of unfinished work. It would be best if you could link us the dropbox folder of your best work.
We are probably posting at midnight cst tonight- but applying earlier has absolutely no effect on whether or not you are selected. It doesn’t factor in our decision making process at all.
Yes
You can edit your response after you send it in, yes
But if you’re planning on doing so because the cards you’ve chosen are popular, I just want to reiterate that we’re not taking anything out of the running! If a card has a lot of applicants already, that doesn’t mean you can’t still add it to your list!
We want to see your best work and we want to see that you can consistently be making quality content. 5+ pieces in your portfolio would be choice. If you think that depicting human characters is not your strong suit, then keep that in mind when applying for cards. If you have strong conceptual skills and can convey the meaning of the card without human characters, or you just have very strong skill in other aspects of art, we will still accept you. URL vs Portfolio means, either you send us a link to your art tag on tumblr, or you link us to another website that contains your portfolio.
We’ll give more information about that once the artists have been selected!
In case there is any confusion: we’re not asking for completed art of any cards yet, just examples of your past work. You can link to your past work on the application form
I’m pretty sure that you should be able to edit your responses even after you’ve submitted them.
If you’re only able to work on one card that won’t affect our decision making process at all! It’s perfectly fine if you are only able to complete one card.
Editing after submission is enabled, if it really doesn’t work then just go ahead and resubmit !
There are free portfolio sites that you can upload pieces of arts onto and link that in your application. We don’t mind if your hobby art doesn’t show your concept for the tarot cards, just focus on sending your best work. If you want to add any concept art for the cards it wouldn’t hurt.
The back of the card has already been decided! It’s been finished since the major arcana, but thanks for asking though.
Applications close tomorrow! Artists will be decided in a couple of weeks after.
Well this is a juried art application, so we’ll be choosing artists based on whoever we feel has the best ability to create a particular card.
It may come down to the cards you applied for as well- there are quite a few cards with a large number of applicants, and some with far fewer, so the odds of getting selected for a card with say 20 other artists are obviously significantly lower.
That’s why we allowed people to select 5 potential cards, and have been updating the chart showing how many applicants each card has, so hopefully it isn’t too imbalanced.
if you received email confirmation that you applied you can use the link in that email to edit your response- otherwise if you just reapply we’ll use the most recent results, but please let us know which one yours is so we can keep track!
You have until noon on 4/28 PST
If you didn’t get email confirmation, that doesn’t necessarily mean your application didn’t go through- we unfortunately didn’t have email confirmation turned on for a little while but rectified that eventually.
