Am begin my new magic Tarot deck

Lich

Am begin from concept of lady holding sword and cup, then concept of card reverse. It was quick unknown inspiration do drawn own deck, it take me pretty fast to drawn it. Then am look at it bit and it resemble me me mostly mage so am add few more details (pentacles for four elements) also am completed details on reverse. I was actually happy from that but, hey maybe add some colors? And right after am paint it red huge wind blown and slam door from balcony BAM! It was magic moment and I follow it, short after am realized what am actually drawn and come to me idea about possibly deck name Evening Tarot. Still not sure about that but maybe.. Ok and reverse is interesting, it is sun or clock where it show magic hours 3:30 dawn and 9:00 evening, clock arrows look like sorcerers! Cards will dont have names or numbers but dices, combinations of two dices for major arcana (it is 21) and three dices for minor arcana (which is 56 if am not wrong) Here is first pictures:

Hi LIch,

Interesting images. I prefer the black and white versions to the color ones, including the card backs. The link to Justice comes up wanting to play some video.

If you're going to use a dice method for numbering the cards, especially if the cards don't have titles (suit names and rank), you have to really make sure that the image itself can't be mistaken for any other image in the deck.

Good luck with your project.

I will probably make three versions of this deck
Light - where symbols will be simple
Dark - with some details changed much more symbols, more occult, nudity and gore
Dark Color - orange and red, where orange would be mostly sky (evening effect)

Possibly light deck will have classic names on it and dark only dices as more mysterious

Imageshack remove me these dark version (probably because nudity) so already I will upload light deck, and this light deck is free to copy print and use.

LIGHT DECK

0 Foul This card will be the same as reverse, so there will be no foul (and he will be everywhere)

I actually pretty much loved these! It feels close to my own style. Loved these.

The Vikings didn't treat their slaves badly, many were adopted into their families. I'd have issues with the wrist chains on 'slaves' especially female ones. That's more Hollywood fantasy than real life. Their helmets also never had horns on them.

I think the Druids predated the days of castle turrets and flags by many centuries?

Yes, Druids were there before the Roman invasion (which came before the various Viking and Germanic invasions).
