Well the Thanksgiving holidays had some of each…

I did take a few days off making it an extra long weekend and got a lot of painting time. I also rescanned all of the color minors to date with a different scanner. They came out a lot better, and I’ve updated most of the pictures already up so check them out. For example on the Five of Wands now you can see the detail in the sky, the texture where I’d added salt to the ink. If you compare it to the composite image above it, you can see how much better the new scan is.

But it took a lot of time, all day today really: rescan, recrop, resize, redo all the borders…glad I did it now anyway before all of them were done. I wish I could have gotten started painting the next card instead, though. Tomorrow is a new day.

Anyway rather than go into much detail of the process this time I think I’ll just let the images speak for themselves.
