Color Treatments
Rework an existing split-card sketch through color, finish, texture, or medium while keeping the deck standard visible.
For artists
W3LCOME
You've opened this door on your own.
Web3 is the part of the internet where a crypto wallet can act like a portable key. For Anthologies, that wallet can identify artist access, hold project records, and later receive digital imagery without tying everything to one social account. You do not need to be technical to begin.
If you already have a Base-ready wallet, use it when you share work. If not, the wallet setup path on this page can help you make one in a few simple steps before submitting.
Ways in
Anyone can be considered an artist
No matter your skill level or art medium, the main condition is that you want to create and share.
Keep the card vertical and split into a top and bottom section. Look at the images above for examples of how the split design and dual meanings are built into the card style. Strong work can still be considered even if it needs final format adjustments.
View art parametersOriginal Artworks
Create new primary card art that still follows mirrored tarot logic and the split top/bottom structure.
Hybrid Experiments
Bring physical, digital, mixed-media, animation, collage, or another process if it serves the card and your voice.
Act 1 frame
Frame Continuity
Act 1 has a definitive presentation frame. This border is not a loose decoration; it is the container that ties the first wave of artwork together.
Artists can bring color, texture, symbols, medium, and personal interpretation into the center. The finished card should still feel like it belongs inside this Act 1 architecture.
View art parametersAll accepted Act 1 card artwork is intended to be placed inside this frame before release.
The frame is fixed for Act 1; the art inside it is where the artist's interpretation lives.
The inner artwork should still carry the deck's top-and-bottom tarot duality.
Reference frame size: 1650 x 2850 px, matching the current source sketch format.
If accepted
A clear next-step flow without pressure
You receive Golden Fool Token access.
You enter the artist portal and review access options and rules.
You choose your next step only when you are ready.
Acceptance opens the door; it does not pressure you into final commitment.
Web3 without the wall
Extraordinary technology, ordinary first step
Wallets, Base, and smart contracts now make this channel practical. Your role stays simple: make the work and bring your vision.

Start with the art
You do not need to understand every blockchain layer before you submit. The first review is still about the work, the concept, the medium, and the fit.
Wallet first
Create or connect a Base-ready wallet before submitting. That public address becomes the project key for access, identity, and future portal steps.
Contracts as structure
Smart contracts can help coordinate access, release records, participation, and payment logic once the actual terms are written.
Help is part of the path
If you are less technical, that is expected. The point is to build a room artists can enter without being forced through a maze first.
Artist workflow
From Fool card to next card
This is the intended front-end flow. Final contract behavior, permissions, timing, and TAC rules will live in a Golden Fool-gated member area before the live system asks artists to rely on them.
Artwork sizing, file formats, scanning, and beginner setup notes live in the art parameters guide.
Receive the Fool
Accepted artists receive the Golden Fool Token in their wallet. It acts as the project key for artist-only access.
Choose one card
The Fool opens the selection area. The artist chooses one available card to reinterpret.
Card enters wallet
The selected card is assigned to the wallet so the system knows who is working on it.
Download the art
The artist downloads the source artwork and begins the new treatment, design, or hybrid interpretation.
Work window
The target is 1-2 weeks unless we agree otherwise. Artists may stop at any time.
Submit the drop plan
With the finished work, the artist chooses a preferred drop time and a price tier from available options. The public does not know until the signal.
Artist signal
We link to the artist's social profile. The artist decides whether to alert early, late, or right before.
Project signal
Anthologies alerts at drop time. The public signal is timed to support the artist's chosen moment.
Limited TAC window
Tokenized Asset Creation is open for a limited time. Extra batch TAC releases may happen later only with artist permission.
Repeat or rest
The artist can submit for another card, pause, or stop. The dedication belongs to the artist alone.
The big picture
Build trading communities around artists
The point is not only the first TAC release. The intended system is built around repeat attention: collectors following artists, watching signals, trading cards, and returning when the next interpretation appears.
First TAC cycles are signals, not final judgments on an artist or a card.
The larger goal is trading activity around artists, not one quiet sale.
Royalties are intended to keep artists connected to future movement where contracts and marketplaces support them. This is how blockchain and wallets can automatically ensure artists receive what the contract guarantees.create wallet here | web3 terms | external wallet
Collector attention should move toward the artist's community, profile, and ongoing body of work.
Artist-first release energy
The artist's audience should stay connected to the artist
The working idea is that artists help signal their own release moments through their platforms, and collectors have a reason to find those artists where they already live. That can create stronger trading energy while still making the artist the center of gravity.
The exact collaboration terms, royalty handling, release timing, and responsibilities will be written clearly before any selected artist moves into a formal release.
What is still open
The door is open and the contract is not being improvised
Final release timing, pricing, supply, and TAC mechanics are not public commitments yet.
Artists keep ownership of their art. Accepted submitted work gives the project defined NFTS and TAC release rights through a written agreement.
Rights, royalties, payment details, and promotion expectations will be handled in writing before any selected work moves forward.
The Golden Fool Token can help identify participants in the system, but exact contract benefits are still being defined.
Detailed contract rules will belong inside a Golden Fool Token member area for accepted holders, not on the public page.
Submitting an idea is not a promise that you must complete a card, and acceptance does not replace final terms. Sales and royalty portions require accepted submitted work and help building demand.
Submitted collaboration artwork must be artist-made, not AI-generated. We may use AI-verification tools during review, with human discretion. The current sketch cards are project source material and are excluded from this rule for Color Treatment work.
Wallets
A wallet is just the project key
The Golden Fool Token and future artist-only areas are expected to use a wallet as the identifier. Think of it as your Web3 login key. You do not need to be highly technical to begin.
Recommended setup: create wallet here | web3 terms | external wallet
Create or connect a Base/EVM wallet before submitting. Use the exact wallet you control. Modern Web3 tools make setup simple, and Anthologies can help you make one here with email. Wallet-ready participants may become eligible for future access, acknowledgement, or participation tokens as the contract system develops. Exact token rules will be shown before anything is issued.
The Golden Fool Token member area is still separate. That private page is where accepted holders should see the actual rules before choosing a card or relying on contract benefits.
