So I have been working on a new deck for some time and decided to upload the High Priestess sketch for some thoughts or feedback.
EDIT: Find sketches for finished majors at the end of this post
All sketches are hand-drawn and then inked in with 0.3 and 0.05 inkpens. No digital manipulation is or will be used. All artwork is original and copyrighted by author.
Actually I have been working on the concept of the deck, so the symbolism etc and I have only now gotten to illustrating. The aim is to create a deck (Majors only at first) which back story comes from the unification of technology and humanity. Right now, humans have the choice to become gods or demons, creators or destroyers; we are carbon creatures creating silica creatures (computers, AI), and this is what the deck focuses on. There is lots of symbolism, a lot of it drawn from Kabbala, and also heavy imagery of circuit boards, barcodes, hard wiring etc.
The sketches are black-and-white, but the deck will use colour. I will probably publish two versions - coloured and black-and-white. The published version will be named Tarot of Transcendence.
So, what do you guys think?
