Hey guys,
I've been trying to find a deck that is inclusive (racially, sexually, etc.) that is breathtakingly beautiful- but it's been hard to find. All the decks I would buy are still in production. (The Fairytale Tarot and tumblr user Trungles' tarot deck that has been in the making for a few years now.)
I have a friend who just got into tarot and I really wanted to get her a beautiful deck, but I don't want to get her a beautiful-yet-whitewashed deck. I want her to feel included.
So I was thinking, what if I altered the art on something like Shadowscapes? People alter card art for Magic:The Gathering cards all the time- it's a business in all honesty! But MTG cards tend to get placed into "card sleeves," so if you used something like acrylic paint the card wouldn't be so obviously textured, and things like that.
I want to make some of the fairies in Shadowscapes black by coloring over their skin with Copic markers! And maybe even attempting to make the guy in the Lovers card look more feminine- although he does appear to be quite androgynous already!
I was curious to know if anyone here has done something similar to their decks? Any advice?
