FindYourSovereignty Posted January 26, 2023 Author Share Posted January 26, 2023 It seems like every subject has a way of becoming a tarot deck. What are your thoughts on these? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/roxana-paul/rustic-fortune-tarot-deck?ref=discovery_newest&term=Tarot Or Marseilles Dice? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tarotdice/the-marseille-tarot-dice?ref=discovery_newest&term=Tarot or an RWS clone that focuses on 78 body parts?

Anabiyeni Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Rustic Fortune reminds me of Housewives Tarot, so I'll pass. I like Housewives, but don't need another deck like it. The body-part RWS isn't working for me - I find some of the cards a bit creepy. I collect interesting dice anyway, so I might get the Marseilles Dice (already have stardust dice and trying to decide if they are too similar). I'm disappointed the default die color isn't black.

I’ve never looked at the Housewives tarot. I’ll check it out. Thank you. I have mixed feelings about the Body Parts one. I actually don’t like the banner on the bottom at all and yes, some of the art is weird. I am a bit fascinated though by the body parts corresponding to each of the 78 cards. I don’t have the knowledge or want to do the work to figure that out on my own. The Dice one is neat. Thank you for posting your thoughts. I appreciate it.

I think I'd like it better if it took the direction of "Out of Hand" Tarot, with close-ups of the body parts doing everyday things. Tying a shoe for foot, flexing an arm for elbow, a doctor performing a heart transplant for heart, a forensicist studying whatever bone. The random (to me) mix of bones, organs, and skin is what's bothering me the most about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like this approach to a deck about the different body parts, interesting. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simran Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Thank you for your comment @gregory! Yes, the artwork for the Cyber Seeker Tarot Deck was created using AI. I wanted to push the boundaries of traditional tarot design and explore the intersection of technology and spirituality. Using AI allowed me to create unique and futuristic designs for each card, making it a truly modern and innovative deck. Artificial intelligence has come a long way in recent years and has allowed for the creation of stunning and intricate designs. The technology has allowed me to bring my vision to life and create a tarot deck that is not only visually appealing but also thought-provoking. I believe that the use of AI in tarot design is a reflection of our current digital age and the integration of technology into our daily lives. I hope that you will give the Cyber Seeker Tarot Deck a chance and see how AI has elevated the traditional tarot design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely like to see more cards from this deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The use of AI in art is a topic that has garnered attention in recent times and it's understandable that some may have concerns regarding its impact on the authenticity and originality of art. However, I would like to share my viewpoint that AI is simply a tool that artists can utilize to bring their creative visions to life. Similar to other traditional art mediums such as paintbrushes or pencils, AI can serve as a tool to aid in the artistic process. When utilized with intention and thoughtfulness, AI can be a valuable asset that expands the creative possibilities and enables artists to bring new and innovative ideas to the forefront. Thank you for taking the time to consider my perspective. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this helps give you a better understanding of the deck and its aesthetic. I know it's still not a great photo, but trust me this was the best that I could have found in laptop. Currently I am travelling and don't have access to my PC. I hope you understand 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niobium Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Belatedly, Bard's Arcana made it! Sounds like he managed to get a few wholesale orders to round it out. Looking forward to that one, I've wanted a nice Shakespeare deck for a while. A few creators from the UK have been needing to ask for help on their postage, so anyone in those projects (Andrea Aste's deck, Fortunae Tenebris, etc) might want to see if they can help out. The shipping situation has become so absurd for creators to deal with, I have nothing but sympathy on that account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielJUK Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 yeah when I ordered the Green Glyphs, the postage was about half the deck costs. To cut down international shipping costs it's coming by some bulk mail service which takes longer but was a 1/3 of the price of USmail's parcel costs. It was eye watering. Because of the exchange rate, many wholesalers here and import tarot shops have said they will no longer buy from outside the country. They can make no profit on stock with the exchange rate and postage, it's not good! I presume mass market decks will increase in cost as well. It's getting harder and harder to continue our collecting hobby 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
