Pathwalker - I'm open to any advice for sure. I've never made a deck before or dealt with copyrights or anything. If there's a place to write to & ask, I'll write to them & see what they say or see if they want a cut in my millions. I specifically didn't want to use anybody's work who was still alive & trying to make a living off their work, but this was done in the XV century, & I didn't copy & reprint things other people had even copied of this dead artist's work, I manipulated them with a purpose of making the deck into something different than it was in order to make it useable. No idea if that makes any legal difference but I would think it would.
The crucial point is, what images did you start with?
If you used the coloured versions published by Lo Scarabeo in 1995, as "Ancient Enlightened Tarot" then the copyright of those images belongs to Lo Scarabeo. The colouring of those cards was (I believe) done by one of their artists, who may well still be living. And they will retain the copy for decades yet, even if the colourist passed away. They will have paid fees or percentages I presume for the right o publish them; the original deck is in private hands.
So my understanding is that none of these images is 'free to use'
Just my opinion of course. Others may know better / differently.
Or did you use some other images?
