In the summer of 2021, I explored the fascinating world of tarot and became enamored with the idea of creating my own deck. My main goal was to build a thorough world that showcases different parts of the world, both real and imaginary. After researching the meanings of each tarot suit, I created a world divided into four countries, each reflecting the morals of their respective suit. For the Major Arcana, I selected the country that best embodied the card's symbolism as its representative.
Over the years, the project has undergone numerous iterations and updates. If you notice any inaccuracies or have suggestions for improvement, I would appreciate your feedback. I am committed to making my tarot deck as inclusive and accurate as possible. This project taught me valuable lessons in world-building, symbolism, and creativity.
These were my initial iterations, but the ones above have been carefully constructed and are the versions I plan to use for the entire project.
Below are my original 8 digital tarot card designs. Since the creation of these 8 cards (which I still deeply love) back in 2021, I've expanded on the tarot world I've been creating quite a bit. Subsequently, these designs no longer apply to this updated world and now live as a limited run of designs in this style.
Ideally, once I finish this new tarot world, I will redesign the entire deck to match the new story and characters I'm exploring. Unfortunately, world building just takes a very, very long time to complete.😅
