About the service
Tarot is a rare form of art where an entire story, symbolism and deep meaning fit on one small card. I develop custom Tarot decks from scratch: together with you I think through the idea, mythology or spiritual tradition that needs to be conveyed, and turn it all into a unified visual language that connects the deck from the Fool to the World. I can draw the classic structure of 78 cards in the spirit of Waite, only the Major Arcana, or a completely custom system with its own suits and archetypes — in any case, each card will be part of one carefully thought-out world.
The work begins with a discussion of the theme, mood references and symbolism important to you — animals, plants, cultural motifs, color psychology or a specific artistic style. Then I make sketches for approval and only after approval do I move to detailed digital rendering, so the final result won't be a surprise. I pay special attention to the readability of fine details when printing, the unity of the card backs and frames, as well as those nuances that make the deck a coherent author's work, not a set of random pictures.
I have experience creating decks for personal collections, small publishers and authors launching crowdfunding campaigns, so I understand the requirements of printing companies to layouts well. Edits are provided at each stage, so feedback affects the result in time, not after the final file is submitted.
What's included in the work:
— Development of concept and sketches for each card;
— Full digital illustration of all requested cards;
— Unified design of the deck back;
— Print files and separate files for digital versions;
— Two rounds of edits at each stage.
