Hello everyone,
This goes out to any other readers who read with the Rider-Waite, but are turned off by it's masculinity and bad coloring.
I want to try to make a more feminine Rider-Waite, tentatively titled "The Ladies' Coleman Smith." It will be a clone deck for those of us who aren't afraid of a bit of sparkles and fashion!
I'm thinking of something like a dark, soft and mystical theme. Something like the Illuminated Tarot but with textured fills. For skin color, I was thinking of using a marble fill to make the figures look like carved stone.
I don't have much artistic skill, if any at all. Any advice on colors, textures, ect will be greatly appreciated.
BEFORE POSTING FEEDBACK:
1. Keep in mind that my resources are limited. I'm limiting myself to public domain textures and the resources I am using don't have the exact shades and colors I'd like to use.
2. This project was supposed to be collaborative, meaning that I was hoping to work with like minded posters toward creating a Major Arcana deck. Even if that doesn't happen, I'm still interested in seeing what other people want to see with regards to colors and themes. Links to specific textures and public domain resources would also be welcome.
3. If you aren't interested in feminine decks per se, I am still interested in whether you are interested in texture-themed decks (as opposed to flat color) that may be masculine or neutral in nature.
4. This project is supposed to be FUN and POSITIVE, artsy and creative. My end goal is to put the 22 Major Arcana on my blog as a PDF file for people to print at home. I will post credit to Aeclectic posters and public domain artists that help make the project possible.
Overall, I am interested in constructive and creative input that is helpful to make progress for the deck.

Thanks!
