Surprise!! 🌟I'm super stoked to finally talk about this!!!

I have mentioned in the community chat a while ago that I wanted to make a Locked Tomb Tarot! Above you can see the very small concepts for all the major arcana as a little sneak peak, and the larger concept version for the Fool. I'm keeping the preview of the full deck purposely small because over the next couple of weeks and months you'll obviously get to see each card individually 💛

The last couple of weeks (a long time, really) I've completely dived into tarot, the cards' meaning, what decks exist, common themes, etc etc. This is the main reason why I didn't get to put as much work as usual into my regular art :)

The planning and preparation so far took an insane amount of time. I knew early on that if I'm gonna make an actual deck I want it to be a proper tarot deck. Meaning that any card is represented correctly. As it turned out that needed a lot more research and input than I initially planned.

I planned out the whole set and then had to make a complete overhaul because I realized I fundamentally had not understood it enough the first time. At the same time - I had to look up and check the books so, so many times. One, for finding fitting scenes & characters that represent the cards accurately, but also general appearances and descriptions.

By now the whole tarot is more or less planned out and each card has an initial idea on paper. The second step was figuring out some very rough concepts that match the idea for each card.

Each card for the major arcana has at least one concept idea by now as you can see above. I'll be working on the cards step by step and will finalize the sketch for each before I move on to coloring them (because CSP is still fairly new to me and I wanna see if I can get more comfy with the program first).

🌟 And for that I'd like your feedback:Let me know which cards interest you the most and I'll put them up in a poll! The polls will decide the order in which I work on the cards.If you need a small recap, these are the cards of the major arcana of the Rider-Waite tarot (from the Wikipedia article):

If I get none or very few responses, I'll put in my faves as well :)

I'm super stoked I can finally show you guys something from this project and am really looking forward to working on this! It'll be a long project, that's for sure. But I'm very excited to finish each card!!

If you are curious or have any question, please comment below! 💛

I've always liked The Hanged Man. The Empress is also cool. And I think The Tower offers a lot of neat ideas you can play with.

Chimchiri

The Hanged Man is one of my faves and was one of the first I had an idea with! The Empress will be one of my faves because it's a minor character. Thank you!

Jayne Snow

Strength and the Star are two of my favorites, would love to see those!

Chimchiri

I'll include the Star in the poll then! (strength was already included :D)

I really cant wait to see more details on the other cards, and share my personal tibbits on the symbolisms, (if you dont mind) but this is going to be a beautiful project

Chimchiri

Absolutely do give feedback! I dived deep into tarot for this to understand it but I'm obviously still a newbie. So I appreciate any feedback on them exactly because it's new to me. It's going to be a long project but I'm really excited myself!
