Yup, I'm saving cleaner B&W files as I move along with the colors... Something tells me that people will prefer those in the end, anyway
. I like reusing the same shading as I do in the colored versions, to make them "pop" out from the filigree more. I will post an example of those as well - but for now, I have my first 5 examples of full colored cards:

They're in no particular order - I just started coloring randomly, with whichever cards I "felt like" on that particular occasion... So far the High Priestess is the only with silver/white lighting - there will be a few more, such as The Moon, but I believe that most of the Majors, at least, will wind up with gold lighting.
As for the Disney look... Yeah honestly that's inevitable with me
. I spent way too much time drawing Disney fanart and anime fanart, as well as figure drawing in sketchbooks... to not end up with a weird mutant of a style. I guess this sort of exercise is very good to help you draw more / more varied things. And also to really compare your level at one time with later evolution (I'm overwhelmed by a single deck and I'm already fantasizing about repeating the exercise a few decades later, haha!)
