Honmoon Oracle
✨ About the Project✨
The Hoonmoon Oracle is a small, community-driven fan project where artists come together to create a tarot deck inspired by KDH.
This is a casual, open-to-all project; you don’t need prior merch experience to join. Everyone is welcome to apply and contribute!How It Works
- Artists apply for a card slot.
- Each participant designs one or more cards featuring their chosen KDH character, moment, or theme.
- The project will stay open until all cards are claimed and completed.
There is no strict deadline for applications — once the deck is full, the lineup will close.Applications are closed!
We have had incredible resonance with a lot of amazing Artists! We will now continue working on this Project, so we can make it real as soon as possible!
