Been having fun (perhaps too much fun?) working on packaging designs for the Canis Ferrum tarot cards that I’ll be sending out later this week before the chapter one release! They are enclosed in a rip-card that has a description about the chapter’s featured tarot on one side and the logo on the other. Each envelop is designed by hand and may vary on design/theme than the one pictured. The Canis Ferrum tarot cards are available to subscribers ($10+) with each chapter release of my illustrated dark fantasy novel, Canis Ferrum I: Arvum Caedum! The next 10 subscribers on Patreon (even the $1 tier) will get this card as a special bonus!

As I finish writing chapter one of Canis Ferrum I: Arvum Caedum (which will be released early July!) I thought I’d post all the currently released illustrations! To find out more about my dark fantasy series check out my Patreon, Discord, or my website Canisferrum.com!

The Fool - Card 0/22 (or 22/22) of the Major Arcana Tarot Deck Considered the introductory card into tarot reading and the Major Arcana deck, The Fool represents the protagonist that embarks on a journey through the Major Arcana as their compass to find the answers to the questions of life. The Fool is both the highest and lowest ranking card of the Major Arcana.

As the protagonist of the dark fantasy trilogy Canis Ferrum, Adolfo is represented on the first card of the tarot deck series which will be available to Silver and Gold subscribers where they will receive a unique Canis Ferrum tarot card in the mail for each chapter release online. The Tarot series will last for the duration of all three novels and will complete a full 78 card deck. Follow @canis-ferrum to find out more about the series and when the site and patreon go live!

Hi! My name is Skyler Ashley and I’m writing and illustrating my first novel! Canis Ferrum I: Arvum Caedum is the first of three installments to my dark fantasy wolf series, a project I have been working on for over a decade and finally releasing! Chapters and illustrations are released one-at-a-time to subscribers, and I am also releasing collectible holographic tarot cards to go along with each chapter, as well as chapter booklets that will contain bonus content about the world of Canis!

I also have a website (canisferrum.com) where I plan to develop interactive experiences, like placing subscribers into packs from the Canis Ferrum world and creating unique character avatars that can be used interactively! All subscribers will be mentioned in thanks in the final production of the books, chapter booklets, and on the footer of the website for their support!

The prologue to Canis Ferrum is now available on Patreon for FREE (illustrations and editing are still being done), and anyone who signs up for ANY tier (even $1!) from now until July will get LIFETIME ACCESS to view chapters and illustrations + the chapter one tarot card!

I am dedicated to making this the best experience I can and working every day on chapters, illustrations, site features, and Canis Ferrum products. If you’re unable to subscribe, I am very grateful for any reblogs or even just followers on patreon. My husband got put on final warning at is job yesterday, and because I have PTSD this is the best shot I have to make an income.

Thank you for your time, Skyler Ashley
