Disenchantment Tarot Deck (part 3)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hello again (:
Today I am posting the last cards that compose the full set of Major Arcanas.
I remember the first time I started to post the images someone asked me if I was going to use Satan or Luci as The Devil, which was a fair question because both of them fits the Archetype. At first I was going to use Satan not only because he looks like a classical devil but also ruled hell. Another reason for that it's because Luci already takes place in other Major Arcana cards and having varieties makes the deck looks richier in matter of compositions.
But just like the Empress when I was in doubt between choosing Oona and Dagmar, I still chose Luci to be The Devil because he literally pranks Satan and its powers. Nothing is more devilish than Luci, and this image shows: lots of people are attracted to him.
For The Tower I made 2 options: one of them is Bean falling out of the castle, and it's interesting because on the original Tower card there are 2 people falling from it, so Bean brings the perspective of one of them falling and also the card shows this chaotic, destructive energy just like The Tower card. For the second option, the castle itself. It's not on fire yet, but it's about to be, just like when doing a Tarot reading.
My favorite card from all of the Major Arcanas is The Star! It was a card that gave me some headache to do it and fit the frame. I used 3 of the same images to make this one and I am proud of me for that (LOL). As you can see, that's Mora's constelation.
The Moon brings the moment where Bean was watching that big bright moon not knowing if her thing with Mora was real or just a dream. The Moon plays a very unconcious but very important role on the cinematographic industry, and Disenchantment followed the same idea. It's all about dreams, fantasy, the unconscious, mistery... Bean is in the picture but I cut her out of the frame because the card looked empty with her on it, and it's not really important to show her when everyone that watched the show would recognize this moment.
And finally for the Judgement card, Herald MUST be on this card, having in mind that Judgement is a big announcement. On the original card, there are naked people getting out of their graves, a ressurection is happening. It's all about looking behind and learning with our mistakes. So the first image to me is perfect. I used another version for Herald because there is a big angel blowing a trumped that wakes everyone up on the original card. The 3rd option offers a more insightful meaning because Judgement is also about looking for ourselves and recognizing past mistakes, and Bean is not looking disrectly on the mirror because that actually take some work.
Don't worry about the quality of some of the images, I'm enchancing them all so they all look smooth in the final results.
And this completes the full set of Major Arcanas for the Disenchantment Tarot Deck! Next week I'll be posting a full set of the Minor Arcanas: one week for cups, another one for wands, then pentacles and finally swords.
I'd love to hear about what do you guys think about it. Is there a favorite card to you? What version of the cards you think it fits best? Thank you so much for the interactions, it's been lovely to read them all!
See you next week.

Disenchantment Tarot Deck (part 2)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hello again! As promissed, here are the new Tarot cards I made based on the Disenchantment universe, from Strenght to Temperance this time (:
I made two versions of Death card. Honestly, I'd love to have Stan as Death better than just skulls from a random scenario, because that guy is responsible for making some heads roll, but I am having a hard time to find great high quality images for him to be in this deck. As long as I don't find a nice image, I'll stick with the skull version for aesthetics reasons.
Not only that, it's great to add more chatacters to the deck, and from what I have created so far, Stan does not fit anything more than the Death Arcana. Also, I am in search of a better image for Malfus as the Hermit, this might not be the final results of this card.
I am using the Remini program to each image so some screenshots looks more acceptable to be used in a Tarot deck more than just looking like a crappy screenshot (like the Strenght card as an example), so the final results is gonna look A LOT better than what I am showing here right now.
I am LOVING to read every thoughts you guys are sharing, whether it is an encouragement, joyful comments or critics/suggestions. As a person who likes to polish my work, every single opinion counts. Thank you so much!
So, what do you think of these new cards?
Edit: already correct the Strength misspell

As some of you already know, I am working on a Disenchantment Tarot Deck (Rider Waite Smith based) which is almost complete (all the 78 cards).
It's not the easiest thing to do, because all the images I am using are stills and official artworks from the cartoon, so I have to find a way to fit every image with every card in a way that makes sense. And as a professional Tarot reader, I try to be faithful and loyal to the meanings and symbolisms of the cards and also my work.
One person who told me Elfo should be The Fool (and I agree, already had a Fool card for him that I left the idea behind, but why not posting 2 representations, right?!). But the reason I choose The Jester is not only because he is literally the fool, but also unlike Elfo, Jester is not appearing everytime on the deck (there are literally 2 images on the internet where he graphically looks acceptable to be part of this deck).
I still am struggling to find a great quality picture of Malfus, I want him to be part of the deck as The Hermit, it's the only major arcana I haven't done yet because of the lack of good quality images.
You can see that there are two High Priestess. The Bean one is supposed to be a joke, because that convent moment in the episode made me cry of so much laughing, one of the most iconic moments of the whole show to me! Arch-Druidess is officially the High Priestess anyways...
I also posted two versions of The Lovers. Again, even tho I love both of them I am more of a tradicionalist. I got a picture where shows King Zog very tense in between Oona and Dagmar and to me that would be the PERFECT representation of The Lovers, but the image really did not fit the frame of the card, that's why I choose a scene between Mora and Bean. Which one did you like the most?
Let me know your thoughts so far on this work. Thank you so very much for all the attention given! <3

So...
I was told by the Reddit community that the old font was better and that it fits better with the TV show.
And I thought Elf would also make a good Fool, so I posted this creation I discarded because why not having 2 versions, right?! Which one you like the most?
The Disenchantment Tarot Deck is almost done, with all the 78 cards and Rider Waite-Smith based! (:

Jester starts off by playing The Fool! Oh no!🃏
Considering Jester has a very small role on the TV show, I was a little uncertain about making him The Fool card, since this is the main character on the whole Tarot journey. But I wanted to create a very ludicrous, mockery deck to live up to the TV show, and then I was sure he had to be The Fool (as he already is, huh?).
If you notice, the card has some little deformed, weird details since there is a lack of good quality images from this character on the internet, so I had to use a little AI to complete the image and fit the frame. It's not the greatest creation but I did the best I could (I'm not a designer lol).
Let me know if you agree on my perspectives and share your thoughts on this artwork! I'll be posting the magician in a blink of an eye 😉
Stay tunned! See you around.

So as I told before, I started making some Tarot cards based on the Disenchantment world. I'm glad to announce I made more than 50 cards already and I am very pleased with the results I'm having so far! This was the first card I shared but I made some little changes on the font.
The first picture was the old font while the picture on the right is the newest one. For some reason I think this adds more personality to the cards and takes off the plain boring font like every other one we see (even tho both of 'em are amazing and very medieval).
What do you guys think? You like the newer or older version better and why? I'd love to hear from you as I will keep publishing my new creations here and also on Pinterest and even Reddit maybe, so the whole Disenchantment community can appreciate it altogether!
