Statue update This is what Claudio, our sculpture wrote"Statue is being worked on as we speak but you can expect 6 - 8 months development time on these kinds of projects...
Tarot herself has so many fine details to consider that she takes quite a while to get them right. All the symbols that adorn her costume have to be sculpted by hand - nothing is done by a machine!
This is simply to ensure the best quality possible and that she reflects Jim's art faithfully...
Whatever we do has to be approved by Jim and Holly First!
Re: Statue update 6 to 8 months? SA-Weet!!!!! That means I can start saving now and have the $$$$ when it is ready
Then again not so sweet that we have to wait that long

Re: Statue update Trust me on this one- don't settle for a partner who doesn't understand or appreciate the work Jim and Holly do. It's just much more fun when you can read Tarot together (and discuss it, etc.)

I totally agree with you here. My hubby does more than tolerate my love of Jim & Holly's work.
Is the style of the statue still going to be based off the sketches in 1 of the tpb's? Or was a new design developed?
Is there anywhere I can find a list of what else Claudio has done in the past?
As Holly mentioned its an entirely new pose that jim designed. I'm working directly with Jim and Holly to make sure we do Tarot justice so please be patient as she has many curves and yummy details!
Bloodrayne was our first large run production statue that we did and we are certainly going to raise the bar with Tarot.
Notably Bloodrayne stood at a mere 12" (the figure itself was 8" with a 2" base) but Tarot will be a larger scale figure at 18"- 20" tall. The tarot figure itself being approx 18" (or 1/4th scale).
No price has been set yet as these details will be available as she progresses...
This will allow for greater sculpture and paint detail and will command her own presence as she sits on your shelf or alter.
BTW- if anyone has partners that won't let you have a statue just dump them! **JK**
