I had the honor of being one of the artists in a new tarot deck being crowdfunded now, the 78 Tarot Nautical deck: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kayti/78-tarot-nautical

This is a gorgeous looking deck with some big name artists that include Larry Elmore, Selina Fenech, Jasmine Becket-Griffith, and Amy Brown. It's at 84% of its goal after just over a week, and there are some great perks and extras available.

Including a new coloring book that I've put together for it!

This coloring book, with 20 pages of tarot art for you to color, is only available through the Kickstarter as an add-on for now, but will be offered in open edition at a later date. The Kickstarter MAY be the only chance to get the PDF version, though...

Speaking of PDF versions, you can get a sea monster mini-coloring book PDF for as little as $2! May is Sea Monster Month at Torn World, and I am crowdfunding a half-sized coloring book. It is coming along nicely, and we just hit our goal for commercial printing AND extra pages! We're $10.10 from a free pdf of the sea monster scale chart for all supporters to print and color. http://ellenmillion.livejournal.com/1515101.html

May is Sea Monster Month at Torn World! http://tornworld.net

Every year, we celebrate a month of the big ocean dwellers in this shared world platform. You have just a few more hours to join in our kick-off Muse Fusion: http://torn-world.livejournal.com/229215.html

Bring prompts, and our artists and writers will create something just for you! Your prompts can be generic, if you aren't familiar with the setting, or specific to the Torn World monsters: http://www.tornworld.net/settingpageview.php?id=114

I'm doing a personal Sea Monster crowdfunded project - a Sea Monster Mini-Coloring Book! http://ellenmillion.livejournal.com/1515101.html

I'm making an 8-page half-sized coloring book (8.5 x 5.5) of sea monsters, both serious and silly. We've made our goal for getting a print copy - PDF copies start at just $2, and are included in every sponsorship package. Further stretch goals include more pages, bookmarks, and professional printing (which will ensure stock for future sales)!

I am promising sea monster sketches for the next 13 prompters at the Muse Fusion, so get those in swiftly!

And, the May Sketch Fest is on the calendar for May 14-16. Join us for 48 hours of creative sketching! http://www.ellenmilliongraphics.com/sketchfest/

(June's Sketch Fest is tentatively scheduled for June 12-14!)

The Torn World Muse Fusion is open now! http://torn-world.livejournal.com/215482.html
This is a prompted creative jam focused around the Torn World shared world: http://tornworld.net - this is a great way to ask your world questions, or to dabble your feet into this world yourself. (We even have a place for non-canon work, so you don't have to worry about getting it 'right' unless you want to.)

The January Sketch Fest opens in just a few hours! http://ellenmilliongraphics.com/sketchfest/

Leave prompts, do sketches in any media (each an hour or less!), and see what our artists come up with. You may buy and sell work through the site!

# # #

Also, a heads-up that major changes are afoot over at Portrait Adoption: http://portraitadoption.com

The browsing and searching features have just had an incredible update, and watch out for more portraits to start going up when we celebrate our 11th birthday in February. It's a good time to join as an artist (membership is paperless, but you must send signed certificates to offer prints!), as I will be doing some campaigning to announce all the new changes.

Enjoy!

Today is the last day to sponsor a new monster for the Sea Monster Scale Chart! http://ellenmillion.livejournal.com/1448256.html

Until the end of the month, I will still accept general sponsorships towards the group goals, and you can get a pack of ACEO cards (11 at current count - plus one diver!), or snag one of the existing monsters. I just can't commit to finishing any new monsters before the end of the month after today.

The May Muse Fusion is now open. May is Sea Monster Month in Torn World, so we're especially looking for prompts about any of our marine megafauna. But other prompts are welcome too!

Current Mood: busy

Next weekend, starting March 24th, we will hold the next Torn World Muse Fusion over at the Torn World LiveJournal Community

So, you might ask, just what is a Muse Fusion?

It’s a fishbowl event, but with multiple creators doing multiple kinds of creation. In response to your prompts, we might create short stories, drabbles, flash fiction, myths, metafiction, sketches, paintings, digital art, poetry, or something else! Everything will be set in or inspired by Torn World

We’ve seen monsters, cute kittens, tender courting scenes, children playing, unexplained disasters, and lots more during our Muse Fusions.

Our creators typically offer one whole finished piece for free, and I’ve started posting a snippet of anything I write, finished or not. Each creator has control of how and when they share their work, but I’m going to encourage others to share excerpts of their works in progress too. You might see a few sentences of a bit of flash fiction, part of a scene of a longer short story, or the chorus of a song. Artists can share their rough sketches or a detail excerpted from a larger work.

What can you do?

Leave us prompts -- just about anything can be a prompt. A word, theme, or title. A character you'd like to see more of. A photograph or question. One of my series over at Torn World came from someone asking to see how the gender reforms affected a family--thus, Dini, Lalya, and Filor were created. You can ask for romance or science, sea monsters or butterflies!

Boost the signal. Mention us (the site and/or the Muse Fusion event) on your blog, facebook, twitter, or other places you frequent.

Comment! Discussions about prompts are welcome, as are comments on snippets/details posted. I also hear, regularly, how pleased creators are to get new comments on work already published on Torn World. If you have a favorite character or storyline, a comment left at Torn World this weekend can help inspire a story next weekend!

Tip if you have the money and are so inclined. You can tip individual creators either in Torn World credits or directly. You can also use the “donate” button at the bottom of the torn world site to support our support administrative costs (such as running our website) and to fund future advertising.

After you leave a few prompts, stop by again to see what's been posted, or use Live Journal's "track this" function to be notified of new comments.

For the inspired or adventurous, you could: Create along with us! You can find out more about being a Torn World creator here: Torn World--Start Here (for Creators)

If you’ve been thinking about “writing or arting” (as Ellen says) at Torn World, now is a great time to sign up—we have some lively discussions of invasive species in two different areas of Torn World going on in our creators’ forums, including one mostly undeveloped area.

P.S. The April Muse Fusion will start Friday April 20th!

The September 2011 Muse Fusion is open over on Torn World. Please drop by and leave us prompts, talk with other Torn World fans, and watch for the cool stuff to show up. We do art, poetry, fiction, all kinds of different things. You don't have to be a Torn World member to leave prompts -- everyone can play. Come ask for what you'd like to see more of.
