Pokémon Tarot Cards
Pokémon Tarot Cards Experiment:
The objective is to create a (hopefully) complete deck of tarot cards, designed and compiled by different artists. The final image sizes should be 13cm by 19.8cm drawn at or above 300dpi for a good-ish quality of printing, should anyone want to print these out.
To start out with, we will use the major arcana of tarot decks. People will claim a single card from the list below and draw their card. It would also be helpful for people to list the Pokémon they intend to feature as the focal points of their image to avoid too many people using the same Pokémon. Unfortunately we can only really do this on a first come, first serve basis.
Once you have decided upon your card before you post here to claim, I would like for you to go out and do a little bit of research on your chosen card; how it should be laid out, what is suitable and unsuitable. Get a general feel for the card and learn the impression the artwork should create upon the viewer.
Most importantly, be inventive. Don't draw Solrock for "The Sun" because it looks like a sun. Don't draw Arceus for "Judgement" because Judgement is Arceus' signature move. There needs to be a little bit more depth in thinking than that because these typical, obvious choices are wasted opportunities.
Major Arcana - Claimer - Main Focal Pokémon:
00: The Fool
01: The Magician - ultraviolet - Lopunny (Incomplete)
02: The High Priestess
03: The Empress
04: The Emperor
05: The Hierophant
06: The Lovers - Zora of Termina - Lucario, Zoroark (Incomplete)
07: The Chariot - Espeon - Lapras, Kingler (Incomplete)
08: Strength - Hyde - Froslass, Luxray (Complete!)
09: The Hermit
10: Wheel of Fortune - blazheirio889 - Absol (Incomplete)
11: Justice - Little Bluberry Bomb - Riolu (Incomplete)
12: The Hanged Man - surskitty - Slowking (Incomplete)
13: Death - Cirrus - Cubone or Marowak (Incomplete)
14: Temperance - Mendatt - Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf (Incomplete)
15: The Devil
16: The Tower - Karkat Vantas - Sigilyph (Incomplete)
17: The Star
18: The Moon - celebu - Houndoom (Incomplete)
19: The Sun
20: Judgement - Big Red Cherry Bomb - Ho-oh (Incomplete)
21: The World
As a final note, I'd rather people spent time over doing one card well than rushed through one just to claim another card!
Summary:
Claim 1 card at a time.
State the card and Pokémon you intend to use as your focal point in your post.
Research your card. Plan it well.
Be inventive, don't go for the first and most obvious choice.
Enjoy!
(Also, I know this has probably been done before elsewhere but, it's just for a bit of fun! People who have already claimed without posting did so via IRC at the time!)
