Hooked on TdM
Oh very cool tarotbear! Yes very very similar. I would do that with the whole image though. well, I would if I could draw! Lol
I want to make a Sandman tarot that really uses all the characters in the sandman comics by neil gaiman but also still has most of the symbolism of RWS.
I think it would take a long time with a lot of copyright issues but it would be fun to delve deeper into the comic to really try and get all the meaning.
Also definitely good practice to learn tarot even more in depth.

I 'sort of' did this on the Aces when I started colorizing my B/W deck: upright the skies are blues and pinks, but when the Aces are reversed the skies are all grays and dull. Of course, it was easy to do on the Aces since the suit symbol floats in the air.
If I had the capability (I draw stick figures lol) I would create a deck where the card is reversible. The images would flow into each other. Kinda like an optical illusion. Top half would be sun based colours and imagery, bottom the moon. So the reversals would actually be a night/ day or sun/moon or fall winter/spring summer influence. The images would be complete but look different depending on which way it lands. (Think of those pictures made of dots or bubbles where it looks like something one way and something different turned the other way.)
So for example the high priestess is seated. Both ways would be the complete picture but upright would be the sunny version, reversed the moon. The card would not be chopped in half.
Of course my drawing skills are lacking so I'm not sure that's doable. Lol
Lately I have been thinking of a deck that relates to sewing. Theoretically that one could be produced. I don't consider myself an artist, but I can draw reasonably well if I have something to reference and if I feel like taking the time to do it. Not sure if I am interested in the production and marketing aspect of making a deck though. I mostly appreciate the thought experiment of finding the right aspect of the theme to match with the characteristics of the right card--it makes me think more deeply about both.
