Lucifall Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 Together with a very artistic girlfriend we are designing a new tarotdeck based on the RWS. We should love to hear what you think of this Magician
Decan Posted November 29, 2020 Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) Regarding the artwork itself it’s mainly a question of taste so there will be people who like the art and other people won’t. Concerning the symbolism it’s something a little different because if you modify it the meanings of the cards will change a bit too. Here in your card I don’t see exactly what is behind the figure of the Magician; it seems a silhouette but I’m not sure. For the planet you added is it Mercury? If it’s the Moon this will bring to the card something different and will hint to the Moon card with its particular meanings. My 2 cents on this no more 🙂 Edited November 29, 2020 by Decan

Very appreciated! The Artwork indeed is a question of taste. Concerning the symbolism: The planet that is added is Mercury. (Below the planet and above the table also the staff of Hermes is added) Striking that you also noted the silhouette.. It disturbed me and At first i saw somehow the High Priestess in it.. It isn't; it is the shadow of the Magician.. The fact this is not clear in the pricture we really have to think over. Thanks!!
SilverLeaf Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 Love the colors here and the ethereal mood created by the shadow effect!
Seren Posted September 25, 2021 Posted September 25, 2021 I think he's wonderful and the main thing is he's unique. He's a million miles away from my own Magician, but we all create to our own style and limitations. Art is always a question of style, taste and ability. The important thing is, does he work for you?
DanielJUK Posted September 25, 2021 Posted September 25, 2021 Just a mod note to say I have moved this thread from Tarot Decks to Deck Creations where it fits much better with creating your own tarot cards 🙂
DestinationQ1 Posted September 12, 2022 Posted September 12, 2022 Very cool Magician cards, both of you. I like the abstractness and many semi transparent symbolic layers in the first card. For the second one, I like how welcome it feels. It reminds me of reaching a magic shop during a quest in a video game. Haha 😆 I would like to share my Magician card as well. Comments and feedbacks are welcome. Tnx.
