I’m making my own deck for an extended project qualification in sixth form and am stuck for ideas as to which movie character to put as the empress

Posted

It will depend on which aspects of the empress you wish to emphasize. Funnily enough, the first thing that came to my mind when contemplating this topic was Mrs Bennet (Pride and Prejudice) 😁

Molly Weasley ? Or (I don't really LIKE this) Maria von Trapp.  Or the mother in "Room" - I don't know if we were even told her name....

have you got any ideas for temperance at all? ❤️

Hey @tofoochi I am honestly a bit confused. Are you happy with any of the suggestions made for the Empress? Because it is not clear to me but you are already asking for a next character?

And if it's your project, you should really try to come up with your own ideas - who do you have for other cards ?

i didn't really think it was a big deal, there's 78 cards in the deck and i'm coming up with all the rest of them by myself, i thought it was okay to ask for advice on a few.

Sure it is as long as most of the ideas are yours - that was why I asked what others you can come up with. Temperance could be someone who balances opposites without destroying either one. I'm immediately thinking science fiction here..... Someone like Spock, maybe ?

Yes it is ok it is just nice to thank for suggestions and maybe also let us know on some of your ideas 😊

Also we like to know which suggestion worked for you - this is actually interesting for us !

 

Will you show us your EP at the end pretty please ? (I think it has to wait till it's marked though ? Art certainly does !)

the full title of my epq is ‘creating a tarot deck using ai’. I’m using ai to get a sketched look and then layering different overlays to get a grungy worn look. It’s just a school project I have no intention at all of selling them hence why I’m using ai and not creating my own artwork. I was just going to create one deck, to hand in for my epq and then keep for myself to use. I’m also writing an essay to go alongside it on the history of tarot and another essay on modern evolution of ai. Here’s a sneak perk of some of my favourite cards. I’ve finished 27 cards so far.

Nice project  - a welcome change from some EPs I've seen. I'm slightly surprised they accepted it - are you doing art A-level ?

 

Be careful about the history - if you start finding out it came from Egypt, someone has given you the wrong book....

I was wondering which subject you could tie it into; most EPs I've seen tie into something the student is doing, which makes sense - and film studies and photography both - that works !

 

You might find this a useful frame:

 

https://tarotator.com/a-timeline-of-tarot-from-1750-to-1980/

yes I’m tying it into film studies and photography! Ahhh thank you, I’m not yet at the phase of writing the essay but I’ve bookmarked it for when I am.

It doesn't go back to the earliest decks - the Italian Viscontis....

 

Have another site which fills that in and has more.

(I just love the idea of a TAROT EP !)

Have you considered going with Catherine the Great?

If you mean Empress, the OP has gone with Molly Weasley.
