The only thing I've heard/seen about it so far, was on the Tarotgarden upcoming releases page, here:
http://www.tarotgarden.com/boutique/preorders.html
It looks nice, not as wishy-washy as the Universal waite sometimes feels to me. I love brightly coloured decks!
I would like to see proper scans somewhere, though.

hard to tell from the card but the sun is too blue ,, but my mind could of been conditioned to see all that yellow from the rider tradtional colours.
the horse looks to be more shaded in eh ?
yes you can definately see a neck muscle on the horse,
ah the blue instead of being a sky light blue is not a vibrant dark blue .
the read cloak (i see it as that i never really learned what it is ) is now a decent red eh
the big difference that one can tell is one the sun face, and the child shading itself.
the flowers now have vibrant green stems as well, and the brick wall seems to be a nice blue
the wheel of fortune, itself..
it has depth now,
it is hard to tell if the four creatures in each direct direction has depth or just colour better
the clouds have depth as well , a nice shading.
overall just from these two cards, it adds a lot, not soft illuminated like the universal waite (mary hanson colouring )but a a more vibrant.
one wonders how the heirophant and the death card looks like.
edited to add in the fool card i noticed on the cover. hmm.
it gives the impression of a sun setting, with a nice aura around the fool himself or herself. the sun look bright, the mountinas more real , more livelly ,, the ground ..
OHH notice that they take out the titles and put the name of each card underneath the picture ,, it allows one to see more of the picture, i noticed it on the wheel of fortune card.

I'm interested in and waiting to see the images once Lorraine and Jeannette get this deck (Radiant Rider-Waite) in stock. However, since I already have a couple of RWS decks (RWS and Albano-Waite)... I'm not sure that I'll be getting this one. However, as far as re-worked RWS's go... I'm anxiously awaiting the "Tarot of the New Vision" by Lo Scarabeo... :D

Wow! Just gone and looked at the blurb on Tarot of the New Vision, and then found some images of it. What a fascinating idea - I'm really intrigued. I think for those who like using Rider Waite Decks, but are almost too familiar with them, this is going to be such a fun new way to continue exploring it!

generally i like it ..
the highpriestress from behind the view. and two of swords, and the knight of chalices from the other side.
(is that green peasant the one who saw him that way in the original rider ?)
the fool is from a diagonal view as to give a more persepctive ,, i like the diagonal view better..
but this guy is the one who has done the fey tarot, the marvel tarot and so that is why his artwork has a comic favour to it..
WHY I LOVE IT EVEN MORE .
let see ..
(walks off mumbling, radian tarot in july ,, tarot of new vision in august,, books in june,, and some in july ,, be one broke bastard this summer .. ah well such is the love of the tarot )

How do you think I feel holmes? I'm off to uni this fall, and I have pre-ordered the RRWS, and am planning on getting the Tarot of New Visions.
I'm gonna be so broke.
