Just to keep everyone up to date, because of the screwup by the people cutting the Venexiana Gold deck the first time, these might be delayed to the 19th 'second wave'. Probably I'll have to say at this point.Sher wrote:It's okay.

I think he means the Venexiana Dark launch, which was supposed to launch with the kickoff of Card Launcher on August 1st, will now start around the 19th, but who knows really, shit changes around here all the time, but perhaps a new thread should be started to discuss Venexiana Dark since this is the Grotesque thread...Cbkimble wrote:The 19th of August?Mike Ratledge wrote: Just to keep everyone up to date, because of the screwup by the people cutting the Venexiana Gold deck the first time, these might be delayed to the 19th 'second wave'.

I'll also start a new thread for "Dark Venexiana" - coming August 19th to CardLauncher.

Re: UC 2014 Annual decks: "Grotesque" by Lotrek FUNDED $45k+
With all the teasing and tormenting I do, I laid off this, but it is with great pleasure for Lotrek & myself I do the grand reveal:
Also, one of the gaffs - a second King of Hearts with a smile, so you Magicians can turn the original KoH frown upside-down.
On their way from us to you...
The UC2014/Grotesque decks, and also the cards nobody saw: Joker diptych complete with yours truly and wife on the right, and Eoghann and wife on the left.

Re: UC 2014 Annual decks: "Grotesque" by Lotrek FUNDED $45k+
Here's a pretty much finished sketch minus a few alterations.
For what it's worth, upon seeing the tier, my intention was to "keep it in the family" and not let some other user outside UC nab it. Made more sense to me.
Rounding up the entire staff and splitting the tier into itty bitty pieces would've proven a difficult task and not to mention unfair for Lotrek to draw everybody when the tier only called for one person's pledge. Figured I'd go halfsies with the owner of the site and Lotrek was cool with it.
Just for fun, here's would it would've looked like had I not shared the tier. When more joined in, we suggested Lotrek to do a group of gargoyles holding the UC logo, I think he did a fantastic job.
Really hope you guys like it.

Here's an art print of the diptych. I have had it for months - literally, and kept it quiet until all was ready. After all, Dan and I are wired beasts...

Mike did talk to them, so hopefully the Grotesque decks will arrived undamaged. I found this on the Origins thread:Strag wrote:Are you using Michigan Mailers?

You laugh all you want, Kai! I'm going to make you fly into Charleston in October 15-18th to be at the 52+Joker convention and I'll get some lessons. It's just a crappy cell phone, and I don't often bother to grab my Canon 20mp unit and use it. Yes, I'm lazy. Yes, I am painfully aware that I take crappy pictures, but the second one of the print came out much better - I opened the curtains for more natural light. That comes at a price here right now: heat indices for the past three days have been 110+ and Monday it was 117.volantangel wrote:Hahaha +1Lotrek wrote:Mike, you have a real talent on taking blurry photos!

What neither of these guys have bothered to mention, one of the rules of photography...Mediocre light, mediocre pictures. Either that, or hold your phone with both hands...Mike Ratledge wrote:Good, I need all the help I can get - obviously!MagikFingerz wrote:Mike, I don't like to brag but I'm actually a much better photographer than Kai.

If Mike's using his cell phone, he's probably not wiping off the lens before taking the picture. The blurriness might be from fingerprints or smudges on his cell phone.
I can't wait to get my brick! Speaking of the Annual UC deck, shouldn't we be hearing about who's lined up to do the 2015 deck?

Re: UC 2014 Annual decks: "Grotesque" by Lotrek now shipped!
Well, it's not the lens, it's the photographer and the lack of good lighting, frankly. I can do better, but it's so damned hot I just can't stand opening the blinds right now. I always screw up flash photography, so that's not the solution, either.sinjin7 wrote:If Mike's using his cell phone, he's probably not wiping off the lens before taking the picture.

The UC2015 Annual Deck artist is classified, and in fact will not be revealed until around the holidays, although I suspect that we will fund the deck (on CL of course) around the middle of October so we can actually celebrate the new year or soon after with the arrival of the decks, rather than be sitting here 3 months after USPCC was supposed to have them to us still waiting on shipping to arrive.
I can say that as of today, the shipping is substantially complete, at least 90%+ anyway. Supposed to be done tomorrow. You'll like my choice for the 2015 deck, quite certain! I don't see how it's possible otherwise.

Beautiful decks, all came wrapped in two layers of bubblewrap and foam peanuts for extra protection. Excellent job by LMM this go round. Still waiting on my uncut though.
Feeding the addiction one deck at a time.
