This feels very vulnerable to share, don't really know why..

I created these interpretations of some Tarot cards as christmas gifts for some family members. I really love them even tho I can see so many imperfections.

I thought I would share so I could get some feedback, as I'm considering the possibility of making more and eventually having my own deck!

These are lovely and very vibrant in their presentation and energy. You can feel the joy and care that went into making them.

I think the ones which work best as Tarot cards are the last four, simply because they have more of the centered representation (figure) one expects with Tarot cards. The Devil as a silhouette made up of lines in all directions (or bare branches) is brilliant. That’s exactly what he is.

Having all the smaller images and words surrounding these works really well because there’s a “main image” they support.

If you continue with the other cards (at least the Major Arcana?), perhaps making some of them less dense or featuring the main figure in a more prominent way would be things to consider.
