Deck in Progress: The Power Players

7/30/2015

I'm plugging away at my first tarot deck. Just finished illustrations for majors 3-5: The Empress, The Emperor, and The Teacher (Hierophant). That makes six total under way. Still don't have a title yet.

I think of cards 1-5 as the power players of the world. I'm replacing the most archaic titles with more current archetypes, so I've subbed in The Witch for The High Priestess and The Teacher for The Hierophant.

These scans all came from my phone, and they're not fully formatted yet, which is why the borders don't line up perfectly. These aren't necessarily final images for the deck, though I'm liking them so far. (Clearly, the final cards won't be watermarked either.)

Let me know what you think!
