Description
Edit: Testing out "new" scanner--added Ringo as Strength (Silliness is always allowed U_U ), and Paul as Chariot.This is my current "staying sane" project amidst all the difficulties I'm going through. My friend turned me onto tarot recently, and since I can't get a deck of my own at the moment (money is tight and my parents would probably die if they saw me handling something like that), she suggested I make my own using index cards. So that's what I'm doing!
Currently have the Major Arcana cards sketched out, as well as the King cards for each suit. I'm going to paste a nice backing on them, with scrapbooking paper, but i work on them when i have time.
If I get a better deck or stop caring about tarot, I might sell the originals for really cheap...
(Edit: Until then, you can commission your own personal tarot card for cheap until all tarot slots are filled: [link] )
ANYWAY, mine are Beatle themed. Yeah, yeah, you might not agree with what I put on these things, but it's all based on my interpretation on the meaning of the cards, as well as the Beatles (and the people in their lives) myself.
So fun.

You should consider making prints of these. They look amazing!! If you can pull off creating the entire deck it would sell.

like what you have so far. not the biggest beatles fan in the world, but i'd totally buy a set of these to add to my tarot card collection

OMFG, I want a slot! Get the list up, and I'll probably take a handful!
Also, I used to do Tarot, and it was creepy good. My husband is uncomfortable with it, and so I stopped out of deference to him, but I absolutely love the ideas behind the cards. It's like an entire deck of artists prompts too! I have a generic Tarot deck and the Brian Froud Faeries Oracle, and I definitely prefer the Oracle deck. You can use any kind of images you want, it's all about what the card means to YOU and the person you're reading for, if you aren't doing the reading for yourself. I'm actually working on a deck of my own characters myself, but I'd love to see your take. When you're ready, I'd like to commission several.

Very cool! I was wanting a deck last year, but the ones you can find here on dA (including yours) are so much cooler than the ones I could find in the store.
Love your handwriting, too! Can't wait to see more.
