One of the things I’m most proud of when I pull cards from is how vibrant the colors are. When I initially conceptualized this deck, vibrant colors was one of the defining traits I wanted to incorporate. I was also new to digital art at the time and one of the things regularly hammered into art newbies’ heads is, “Don’t make your colors too vibrant.”
Part of me worried the cards wouldn’t look good in spreads if I chose to go with what I wanted instead of what I was being taught. But now I firmly believe personal art has to be made according to the desires of the artist, not a teacher or any potential future customers.
When I look at these cards all together, not only do they serve the function of tarot cards, but I also love looking at them. Even though I can tell I got better as an artist the further along I got with the deck, I stuck to the rules I set out for myself in the beginning. That makes the art still look consistent, despite the increase in skill.
If you’ve purchased, or are thinking about purchasing a copy of the deck, I hope it fills you with inspiration the same way it does for me. I hope it brings you clarity and advice in ways that feel honest and actionable. I’m so proud of what I’ve created and I can’t wait to see others connect with these cards!
