Hi, I've been studying and reading tarot for awhile. I'm also a visual artist and recently have felt called to create my own deck. So far I only have sketches, and am still working out the kinks regarding the overall style and vibe I am going for.
I've been using a lot of abstract, dream-like imagery with a lot of astrological, alchemical and animal symbolism. I've debated for awhile whether or not I want to include humans in my illustrations and have decided that I almost certainly want to do that for the court cards and at least some of the major arcana.
For the numbered suits, I'm a little bit stuck. My inclination right now is to use only abstract imagery for some of the cards with a fair amount of animal symbolism, but to have some include depictions of people.
My fear is that this might cause the deck to feel unfocused or disconnected. But I might just be over-analyzing this. Any thoughts on this and the importance (or unimportance) of this kind of uniformity would be appreciated!
