The only reason I recognised it was because I've spent some time on it as well, prompted by Benebell Wen 🙂 I actually find your cards quite intriguing and enjoy looking at them.

The only reason I recognised it was because I've spent some time on it as well, prompted by Benebell Wen 🙂 No problem at all, I was planning to say it eventually. I knew Benbell Wen for the book "The Tao of craft", Is the book I used to create the Fu talisman cards (I wanted to create a talisman that was, at least, plausible). I see they created an entire deck using wombo-dream with the Ukyio-e style. I think they suffer the same problem as all the other 64-cards I Ching deck: nice illustrations but they can't convey the meanings a hexagram entails. I believe that the eight trigrams have a better chance to be represented by a single card, take the "water", for example. I think I managed to steer wombo so that the image returns the sense of danger that the trigram represent. Back to the tarot cards, if I'll continue playing with wombo and will come out with a card I like, I'll post it here. Someone might be interested, who knows? 🙂
katrinka Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 I'm bowing out. In the first post, you said "drawing tool." Nobody drew anything, this is all AI. Had you said "AI Deck", I might have stuck around. But as it stands, no. Good luck. And keep in mind that honesty is a virtue.
remod Posted January 28, 2022 Author Posted January 28, 2022 Sorry if you felt offended, Katrinka, It was not my intention to fool anyone. I might have been a little bit too liberal with the word "drawing" but I never intended to misrepresent their origin. It was just a way for me to share what I had found 🙂

The cardmakers knew their craft, and they worked hard at it. Your expertise in what makes a deck usable is obviously WAY greater than mine 🙂. And I defer all comments about any deck’s usefulness to the experts!! ❣️ And Duchamp was definitely kicking against the establishment, it would be interesting to see what he would do with what is available now! 🤣 Edited January 28, 2022 by MuninnMissinHuginn Grammar darn it.
remod Posted January 29, 2022 Author Posted January 29, 2022 I feel the need to clarify this further as it seems that I struck a cord. I knew that the moment it was known that those images were computer generated everybody's attention would have been switched to the tool rather than the images themselves. And this is exactly what happened. I was hoping to get some unbiased impression first and then discuss the topic of using these tools. It seems I failed spectacularly at this. As you may have read in other threads where I posted, I'm not doing this for money or any other personal gain. I'm just interested in divination and cards, I shared all that I thought about in the hope someone was interested. Sorry to those I offended, I asked the moderator to remove this thread.

I don’t see the need for removing this thread. We welcome all types of creation methods. I suggest that we simply state that from now on, this thread is to be kept to the topic of the art/cards and not the tool/process. I am sure someone would like to chime in and give you some feedback and constructive criticism. It might help if you show multiple versions of a card so that people can pinpoint what they prefer. Just a suggestion! Let us know how you feel 🙂

So far I only made two cards: The Magician and The Hermit. I share them here for your comments and feedback. Please stop me before it's too late 🙂 This is a really interesting. I didn't realise there was tools that could do this! What I'm really enjoying looking at is the abstract suggestion of things. That Hermit card - the suggestion of a hooded person, suggestion of a woodland but also potentially a cave. I think it would be interesting to dive into intuitively, to see what the eye is drawn to and what you can read from that. Have you tried reading with any of these cards yet or is it still too early for that?

Have you tried reading with any of these cards yet or is it still too early for that? Thanks for the comment. This is exactly what I was interested to explore. Whether having some vague, indefinite suggestion from the card could benefit the reading or not. Your comment greatly brighten my day, I'm a little bit more confident my intentions are clearer. Let's see how this develops. If this topic won't be closed, and if there's no strong objection by the community I'll post anything I'll come up with. Thanks. Edited January 29, 2022 by remod

Eric13 Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) I like the colors. Really great. And for some reason I like the fact you don't have any faces there. Sort of leaves it more open minded. But I would recommend for the Hermit, have him holding some kind of a light. And maybe also have a couple of people running or just getting away from the Tower. Edited January 29, 2022 by Eric13 bad grammar!

Again, sorry I blew it. I have no problem with you having described it as a drawing tool. I have also zero artistic skills and find the use of tools absolutely acceptable. After all, it is still you who chooses if you’re happy with the result. I like what you got so far and I’d love to see more. I also like the faceless figures, it is like as if it’s sucking me in.
