(please click the image to view the bigger version)I followed the order of the majors when I did the cards, so the Fool was the earliest card done (and perhaps the most experimental-looking) and the World the last of the majors to be finished. Hopefully as I upload the entire majors the change in style, perhaps even the development of subtlety or refinement in the coulouring, can be observed, especially when you compare the Fool and the World.
Truth be told, I originally wanted something similar to the Drogi, which is another deck that has dark-to-light colouring style. I was admittedly too self conscious of this original inspiration that at times I vacillated between doing images with predominantly dark areas, and one that doesn't have as much tenebrism but nonetheless has a quaint, albeit painterly (I hope!) look.
I currently prefer the painterly style (as in the World), so I'm resolving to stick to this for the whole deck. I'll just edit the darker ones I did earlier so that the whole deck gets a unified look. I'm still interested in doing a Drogi-inspired deck, I figure maybe I can still use the flats of this particular deck (since they won't be showing anyway because I put an opaque solid layer - black in this case - between the colouring and the flats) and just colour them differently. Fast as this current project is (I finished the Majors through the Twos in around 2 weeks), the next deck might be faster since all of the flats by then would have been finished already.
For those who've viewed this, please do tell me how you think of the cards.
