Looks like a shot from Tron - Awesome.

Inscribed upon his body is the knowledge of nature itself, essentially everything since that's what nature entails. He was charged with keeping record of all history and if the world ever stopped existing, he would take its place, having become the only source of time's recorded passage and through his stories a new world be born.

(No, I have no idea what he really means. c.c; )

Yeah, that's along the lines of where I was going with this one.

Also, did I mention, I'm DONE!

Yes you did, art deco dragon!

Many congratulations on completing this awe-inspiring work.

I certainly hope you're too busy celebrating to read this message.

And by awe-inspiring work, I of course mean the entire deck.

Oddly enough I read it as that. Thanks!

Oh what a card to save for last. Congradulations on being DONE! This must be one of the best of the entire deck IMHO. The detailed inscription all over his body, the subtle things like the translucency of his lower pair of arms, his posture alone... I really like this one a lot. Congradulations!

Hell, I saved it for last because it was hard to come up with. Surprisingly easy to do once the ideas came together - there's a certain groove to scribbling meaningless fake runes - but the first iteration of this card was back in October, along with all the other Major Arcana!

I had all my books open to the pages on this card, and about ten tabs open on a Tarot discussion board with threads about this card. Skimming them all for bits of information that would take me away from 'the Pope with his ass on a throne'. I was so worried about making something easy and obvious that didn't fit with the rest of this deck.

O_O

awesome!

love the arcano-tech glyph circuits.

also, can't wait for the rest of the new ones you were adding. also, suggestion for selling these guys would be to go two sets, one with the traditional number of cards and a second with all the ones that you've added to the deck (i'd buy the second set)

I'm hoping to just have the one set, with an admonition in the LWB to just leave them out if they don't work for you. Standardization is easier; eight or twelve more cards isn't quite enough to merit a separate 'deluxe' version, IMHO.

Besides, I think pretty much everyone who's watched this through its creation wants the extra cards.

heh, true enough

Not the Illustrated but the Inscribed Man!

Oh! I just noticed... are those Penrose tiles in the rosette?

Yes, indeed they are! Good catch.

Their tendency to fiveness despite their aperiodicity was one of the things that sprang up in my brainstorming. I blame Martin Gardner.

Covered, perhaps in the Word of the Divine!

Three Cheers! Pip-Pip...

Huzzah!

Or something like that. Thanks!

I really, really, really like the circuitry designs on the skin. The second set of arms remind me of the cheshire. Nicely done!

And between the circuits, endless text... Thanks!

I saw that! Does the text actually say anything?

Oh god no. It's a bunch of different weird fake alphabets, so it can stand in for whatever you think should be there instead of being linked to a particular creed or language!

Hooray!
