Happy Tuesday everyone!!
I have some awesome news - ALL Starry Knight Tarot Deck BackerKit packages have been sent out!! :D

Thank you so much for your patience and for supporting my artwork. The last few years were some of the most difficult of my life, and I am eternally grateful for your patience while I navigated new and turbulent waters. It's over now, and I'm glad you stuck with me on this journey.

For those waiting for my comics which were also impacted by my life circumstances, I'd like to extend a special thank you and apology. As of the Chibi Terato Tarot Deck's campaign launch, I'm working on the comic as my highest priority again, which was not possible for some years - every time I finally worked through the grieving process of a death in the family, someone else became ill for an extended period of time, and ever since Covid lockdowns, I have been dealing with the stress and grief of non-stop sudden severe illnesses in my family, the grieving process, and death, and other stressful life circumstances exacerbated by all of this. I had made an update about my grandfather passing, but the truth was that there were several other situations before and after that which my family and I were dealing with. I didn't talk about it because I thought that my followers would not believe the unfortunate cycle that I was stuck in and the situations that kept popping up out of my control that interrupted and halted the in-progress projects that I had promised before the cycle began, and each time I thought I was in a better place. It really felt like it would never end, just this long horrible cycle of illness and grief and death.

Fortunately, my life has gained stability, and though I mourn what was, I am excited for what now can be.

I'm very excited to be working on my comic Skyset Knights as the priority again, and I'll be making more regular updates for it starting this month.

As a final note, I have a new completely finished deck, the Chibi Terato Tarot, that is already funded and taking pre-orders right now here on BackerKit - It's a campaign just for the deck and will be shipped within a month of the funds from the campaign getting to me. You can see photos of the prototype deck there, and I'll include one below!

Thank you all so much again, and thank you again for your patience,

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for your patience and support for the Starry Knight Tarot Deck! It has been a labor of love to create all 164 cards for this deck and I cannot thank you enough for your patience as I wait for the printer to send me the FINAL shipment of the decks, books, and deck boxes for the Starry Knight Tarot! :D

Your decks will be the last ones to come with boxes! Going forward, the Starry Knight Tarot Decks will only come with guidebooks, and I will only have a limited number of the Solar and Lunar boxes available at my shop - Once they're gone they will be gone for good!!

My estimate for shipping everything from this campaign out is still by early May, which will coincide with a new, COMPLETED deck-only campaign for a much-requested deck: The Chibi Terato Tarot! (+ a free 21-card Elemental Oracle Deck!) You can sign up to be notified about it here!

Featuring reversible back-of-the-card art, Rider-Waite style cards, and familiar-to-obscure mythological creatures and cryptids, this is a cute, fun, colorful deck full of wondrous monsters. I'm running a small campaign to print this new deck. It's just the deck - no guidebook, no boxes, etc. - because of this, there will be a lot less moving parts which means faster shipping and less waiting! 

All physical pledges for this deck will also come with the 21-card Elemental Oracle Deck FREE - This deck is already done before the campaign as well. It's an amalgam of all of my other decks' art themed after the ten elements from my original world (Light, Shadow, Air, Earth, Solar, Lunar, Aether, and Unaspected), with one The Aeon card representing mastery over all the elements.

With all of my current tarot deck ideas done, I will continue to ship them throughout April and the beginning of May as soon as possible. My comic books will be worked on until I finish them, starting with Sphinx and Skyset Knights 2, then Skyset Knights 3. 

Once again, thank you so much, and I hope you enjoy the Starry Knight Tarot Deck's insights and art for years of divination to come. If you haven't gotten your cards yet, they will be arriving soon.

Thank you everyone,
- Aero

 

Hi everyone! A quick update to remind everyone that I am ordering and shipping the decks in batches, and the next one is on it's way to me! :D I will be shipping out more decks to backers very soon.

Thanks so much for your patience and for supporting my art :)

Hi everyone! A quick update to let you know that I'm still sending out packages, and that the Starry Knight Guidebooks finally arrived!! :D Check it out:

I hope you're excited for this 180+ page guidebook - one of my largest printed books to date! It has been extensively edited, so there should be little to no typos and errors in it. The character writing is newly written for each card, and it may have some surprises for characters you've seen in my other decks (particularly Men Plus Monsters Tarot!).

I hope you enjoy the decks and guidebooks when they arrive! I am manually sending out e-mails with shipping and tracking information to everyone's e-mail they provided when they backed the project.

Thanks so much for your patience and for supporting my art :)

Happy New Year's Eve everyone!! :D I have some great news - shipping has begun as of earlier this month, and shipments will be going out in batches for backers of this campaign and the previous Kickstarter for the Starry Knight Tarot Deck :)

I'm waiting on the final items to reach me, the guidebooks! It is a whopping 188 interior pages (190 including covers), easily one of my largest books to date, including my comic anthologies! That is likely to be around January 14th, and I will be shipping out more packages as soon as the books get to me. I have already sent some backers their items, so look for a shipping notification at the e-mail you provided for this campaign.

The guidebook is full of character stories and lore related to the people and monsters on the cards that go with the tarot they represent! Editing took a long time, but I feel it was worth it. Here are a few of the pages, with some amusing, interesting, and funny stories showing the variety in the book:

Thank you so much for your patience! The packages are being shipped out now, and more will go out when the guidebooks get here in January.
