Quinn Posted July 6, 2019 Posted July 6, 2019 What is a sunburst deck? Besides a deck name I made up, it is a deck with bright, bold colours, where every card isn't just illuminated, they seem to radiate their own light. I'm very particular about the decks I buy, and am certainly drawn to illustrated decks over photoshop collage or rendered decks for the most part. I also trend towards modern art style over the more traditional like the rws or tdm wood cut look. I was looking at the Lili White originally for this style but I have since learned it has the near unforgivable sin of copyright marks. Any suggestions to help me are largely appreciated! 🙂
Grandma Posted July 6, 2019 Posted July 6, 2019 Take a look at the Orbifold - it's unlike any other deck I have seen. The online pictures only hint at the glorious luminescence of the actual cards. http://www.orbifoldtarot.com/the-orbifold-tarot.html
Quinn Posted July 7, 2019 Author Posted July 7, 2019 It is very pretty and bright! Not really for me, as it isn't really illustrated, but I can't deny it doesn't have that 'sunburst' quality. Thank-you for your suggestion 🙂
Grandma Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 You're welcome! I hope you will report back when you find your Sunburst deck!
DanielJUK Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 Have you ever come across the Pearls of Wisdom tarot tagi? It is a deck which is a ray of sunshine and colour in my collection. The pics are almost exotic and so busy! I personally love that but know some people prefer more minimalist but there is so much in each card. The cards were originally painted paintings. It's webpage is here. It's one of my faves, especially for intuitive reading.
Decan Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 (edited) So if I understand, you are searching mainly a colored deck with a modern style. I think about a deck people have been talking about lately on the forum with good feedbacks (I don't own it though): the Everyday Enchantment Tarot by Poppy Palin. There is as well the Bonefire Tarot by Gabi Angus-West (very colored!); and this artist is working on another deck currently, a Frida Khalo Tarot, her personal style could fit what you are searching, maybe? https://www.thetarotforum.com/forums/topic/7143-a-frida-kahlo-tarot/ Edited July 8, 2019 by Decan

I'm particularly drawn to the seven of cups, with those colour choices. What a great deck! Yes I suppose so, modern and jam-packed colorful would fit the description. I'm not a giant fan of the traditional wood cut artwork, even if I do understand the history and significance the more traditional decks have.
