Tarot Cards

I HAVE FINISHED MY TAROT CARD DECK!
Well, I finished the 4 suits. There are still trump cards to illustrate. But I completed what I needed to for the assignment (a deck of 52 cards), and this makes 56 out of 78 cards in a tarot deck.

You can find them here on my gallery: http://laurenrae.carbonmade.com

Skull Papercraft

I finished my skull papercraft. There are still some revisions to be made, but this is the first successful print & assemblage.

This is one of my tarot card illustrations that I decided to three dimensionalize:




& assembled:

These are 2 color comps from the thumbnails down there that I told you not to look at. I guess you can look at these if you really want to.

10 / 52 Demons

This is a semester long side project to illustrate 52 demons, and from them create a deck of cards.

In my "demon" research, I came across this definition:
In the contemporary Western occultist tradition (perhaps epitomized by the work of Aleister Crowley), a demon... is a useful metaphor for certain inner psychological processes, though some may also regard it as an objectively real phenomenon.

I've decided to illustrate my own deck of tarot cards, which is actually 78 cards in total, but I won't be including the 22 Arcana Major cards (perhaps later?). The Arcana Minor cards are already divided into 4 suits: Cups, Wands, Discs, & Swords (or hearts, clubs, diamonds, & spades). They have 14 cards per suit instead of the standard 13, so I'll be executing 56 in all.

This is Ace through 10 of the Cups suit.
