Sinduction
Link to all the cards to date.
St. Tarocchini has finally answered my prayers, well, somewhat. My hubs to be, who is an amazing artist if I do say so myself, asked me if I would help him on his quest to make a deck. He's got a masters degree in drawing and I've been begging him to make one for me and he's always said no.
I don't know what brought about this change, he's never been interested in my decks and he knows nothing about tarot and, for right now, he doesn't want to know. He wants to interpret my direction on his own, before he goes looking at cards, and I will be here to gently guide him while allowing his creativity to flow.
Now, I thought we could all help him with our ideas and feedback and as he finishes the cards I will post them for us to critique and enjoy and what-not. So, don't hold back, he won't be reading!
There is no name yet, as we are waiting to let it speak to us.
Here is what he needs from me, and you, if you want to help out.

Card Title: (this one is for me)
Person: (If there is one) male, female, etc.
Any other thing that needs to be there:
Comparative Character from film or television:
Descriptive words for card:
Feelings:

Right now we aren't worrying about color. I'm pushing for a sepia tone but he may go full color.
As an example, I will share what I'm giving him for the Fool, which I am calling Card 0, he doesn't want the names either (but our majors will not be numbered, only titled):
Person: Yes, male or female.
Any other thing that needs to be there: could add a dog, satchel/suitcase-y thing.
Comparative Character: Arthur Dent from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (he likes this book and I thought it fitting) watch him work a towel into this card.
Descriptive words for card: Embarking upon a new beginning into the unknown
Feeling: Positive, infinite possibilities
So that's my start, I've got to go write it on an index card for him to work on.
He wants at least 5 to start with and I'm hoping for a card or two by the weekend.
So, join in, if you'd like, or just follow along and see how this develops. I'm so very excited to see what happens!!
