Wow, Riccardo, what a thrill to see these images! Drooool, I fell in love with the elephant version of the Knight of Cups. I'll be fascinated to see which one makes it.
AJ said:On another note though Ric, will you remind your artists that everyone in the world is not 16 years old, thin, and beautiful. I would be really thankful if decks showed a full range of ages and some ethnicities
RiccardoLS said:Here a few more "teasers" from a few more decks.
This is a totally different planet. Art by Luca Russo.
The coming deck is definitely more structured, but we decided to let Luca as much free as possible regarding composition and posture, to facilitate his work and the rendering of feeling. It is a dark and alluring deck. I would not say gothic, but maybe unselie. Is it about fairies or angels? I really don't know.
And last, two twins card by Marco Nizzoli for a deck we have not yet decided how to name it.
Right now, I'm calling it in my head: Tarot of the Enchantress Dream.
Take care,
ric
Astraea Aurora said:Wow, thanks Riccardo , for showing so many intriguing pics! I'd never thought that there might be more than two or three versions of one card, but so many!!!! And they are also so different!! Wow:
That is interesting, I would never have of that. For my part, the courts are often "mute" cards for me, sometimes when I get them in a reading, I just say "next" until I get a card I can read. I KNOW I'M A CHEATER.... (so shoot me). LOL. But if court cards are as imaginative as those drawings it will be a really powerful reading deck.RiccardoLS said:the risk was that the passage between numerals and court cards was a little too fluent and smooth. It was important, however, even in this deck, not to force the court cards into auratic images (the king on a throne of stone), but yet to have them different, and flow (flow of consciousness) on a different level and with a different "wavelength" than the numerals.
