Hello UC!

Not sure if it's good post, but I've released the last Patreon rewards of 2021 and I wanted to share some pics and informations.

The first deck released is Egoism Peacock, with a leatherlike letterpressed box made by Clove St Press and a crazy petrol-holographic gilding (see pics).

The other is the 2021 annual reward, Monolith Sagittarius - it's a (black) gilded version, with a full-black tuckbox, of Monolith Singularity. This deck is still in production.

These decks are EE (Eternal Editions, Patreon Exclusives)

Both of these are available, Peacock if you join in October (monthly) and Sagittarius if you join in 2021 (annually).

Since Patreon is complex, I also made a page on TWI website to explain it > https://www.thirdwayindustries.com/patreon/

If you don't know my Patreon and you want an example, I am publishing here all the rewards of 2021 (total 10 decks per year, all new):

2x Conquerors Vendetta (Jan/Feb)
1x Monolith Singularity and 1x Horizon (Mar/Apr)
2x Egoism Rust (May)
2x Black Market (Jun)
1x Conquerors Justitia (Jul/Aug/Sept)
1x Egoism Peacock (Oct/Nov/Dec)
1x Monolith Sagittarius (Annual reward)

Thank you for the awesome support

Gio

Looking forward to both of these! If you like Gio's work and can afford it the Patreon is a no-brainer

It’s so black…

Gio i checked your patreon. Question about the double yearly reward:
You have to be patreon from Jan till dec to get a double yearly reward.
If I join this month how does that work do I get a second yearly reward next December or something? So in a year and 3 months. Or am I misunderstanding this. (Which of course means subbing a second year to get it)

@ Cardamon

Yes, if you join from January to December 2022, you will get the 2022 yearly reward.
And if you have also a yearly membership started in 2022, you will get an extra yearly reward.

(For example, the ones who where Patrons since Jan 2021 and have also a yearly membership started in 2021 will get 2 Monolith Sagittarius)

This is the same for the current year, but since join in January 2021 is not possible anymore, I've wrote that "the only way to get Sagittarius now is signing up for a Yearly membership".

I hope this explains, I am aware that it's a bit messy.

Happy to support you and your patreon. The great decks are just an awesome bonus. I hope you get some more follwers =)

One Deck to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

I couldn't resist.

Just put myself down for a year.
I’m a very new collector and trying to find my way around and just trying some things.
Love the art style of your decks (especially the conquerors) and it totally will be worth it as hsbc said.

Trust me, you won't be disappointed! His and Jocu's memberships are the ones with the most value and assortment for the money, in my opinion.

Can't wait to get these!

Hello UC! I finally received my copies of Monolith Sagittarius, the annual deck of TWI Patreon 2021.
This deck won't be available for purchase, it's a gift for the Patrons who joined monthly from January or subscribed an annual membership in 2021. It's still possible join Patreon annually to get it (before 31st Dec of course).

Finally I can also post the complete collection of the decks I've sent to Patrons in 2021 Here are some pics of Monolith Sagittarius
Happy Holidays!

That Monolith looks sooo nice, but I have to say that the Egoism Peacock may be my favorite Gio deck ever. This was a very good year for patrons. By far my favorite Patreon of the year.

I wanna hold that monolith and find out if it’s that embossed/debossed. Looks awesome in the pics.

Sweet!

It’s on its way!!!
Just gonna take a damn month of customs I’m sure.

Ah! Good news

@Cardamon - Sagittarius is just embossed, not debossed. But that embossing is really deep!

Yeah it looked so deep I thought it would partially be debossed too.

My Monolith Sagittarius decks arrived yesterday. Sweet.

They are a little thick. I wasn't able to put them in a standard CCC sleeve as they were just a little to thick.

Did you try a DS1L?

Did you try a DS1L?

Not yet. There are too many code words there. I still need to get with Henry on some other items. I will try to add a few DS1L's to my order so I have something when I get more of these fat tucks.

Actually, these would be sick with one of those black monolith carat cases you made for Gio earlier.

+1 the custom Monolith Carat Cases are so so so great

Does the black gilding look a bit poor or is it just the lighting?

It's a little scratchy/uneven/blotty, not really sure how to describe it. The lighting should be even, I took the pics of the gilding to try to show how it looks

Really appreciate all the posting of photos you do!

THIS! YES, thanks @hsbc!

@hsbc - thank you for the pics! These are great!

@brownsl - the 2 Sagittarius I have opened are very, very good in terms of gilding. I posted a pic without filters/photoshop on my IG (https://www.instagram.com/p/CX4E_3qoWKq/)
Maybe there are decks with slight imperfect gilding (not reported yet), but also the ones posted by hsbc seems good overall. Most of the white parts should be lighting effect, not real imperfections.

I have seen the photos and they look incredible. I am really looking forward to getting mine!

I hope they will arrive soon! Let me know if you need tracking or assistance
