Project Update: Poll Update ~
The poll was super helpful, thank you everyone.
(Adding the text is the last phase of prepping the card art so excuse all these being blank).
So first things first, I tweaked the colours on the teal card, according to some suggestions.

It was a small change but I do think it made a pretty big difference. This is the card for the default deck. (The pin hasn't been tweaked yet but it will match when I add it to the full collection).
I had a long think about what people said and the poll results, and realised it would be weird to have just one of the red things be red, when everything else is teal. And having just one red card stands out. Red actually is one of the more common colours at this depth, because it reads as black without light so its great for camouflage. Enough so that looking at the collection as a whole, I could add red accents to enough cards to make it cohesive.
So we're going to be offering an additional alternate edition of the deck, where some of the cards are switched out for the 'red' version. Same animals, same card art, only the colours are different and only on some of the cards - enough to make it more of a set. The same thing already exists in the teal collection, where certain shades are only on say half a dozen of the cards so it should work as a cohesive whole. The red really pops on the teal background. The specific palette is still being tweaked, but here are a couple of examples;
I've been calling it the blood moon edition, after the blood belly comb jelly that kicked the whole thing off.
Anyway you'll be able to freely choose between either version, it won't cost any extra to have one or the other. There'll be about half a dozen major arcana cards with significant changes, and it'll carry over to one or two court cards per suit. I am not 100% promising red versions of all of the relevant pins, but because they share the same mould design as the originals its a solid possibility.
So to recap; two versions of the same deck with slightly altered colourways. Everything else will be the same :).
Thanks for sticking with me as we get into the final week!
