Color-Your-Own Tarot Card Project Community Survey

[ladyseishou]

Several days ago, melannen and I were discussing the unique challenges that one might encounter while designing your own Tarot deck. Not as talented an artist as melannen, I proposed that a better starting point for me might be to color the line art of an existing tarot deck. A short web search later, uncolored images of the Rider-Waite-Smith deck were found here and according to the web site:

The tarot decks and books provided here are out of copyright and may be downloaded for your personal use. Individuals may color their own decks and use them for their own purposes. The files on this website may be printed out on any paper or card stock and reduced or enlarged to any size.

It seemed like an intriguing project to open up to the community but so not to spam everyone’s reading page, I thought that a brief survey would be beneficial to gauge the community’s interest!
