Transformers Tarot

Postby Dorca » Mon Oct 25, 2010 9:20 pm

I've been working on a multiverse Transformers tarot deck, loosely based on the Universal Waite Tarot. Some of the cards are pretty obviously modeled on their counterparts, while I've had to make some a little different. Regardless, I'm doing my best to keep my cards true to their original meanings.

Right now, I'm working on the Major Arcana. It's an ongoing project, and it will keep me busy for a while. After I finish with the Major, I'll see if I'm up to tackling the Minor Arcana... which is more than 50 cards, so we'll see.

I'm not necessarily adding these in order because I'm not creating them in order. I do them as I feel up to them.

I don't really consider myself an artist, but I do put a lot of time and thought into each of these. I draw each card out on paper first, then scan them into my computer to trace and color them. The lettering/numbering I'm using is Maximal Cybertronix.

If you have any questions about my reasoning for a card, or any questions in general, feel free to ask them. Additionally, if you have any suggestions for other cards, I'd be glad to hear them.

So, without any further ado, the Transtarot Major Arcana! Thanks for looking!

Weapon: Venom Blaster
I like your attempt, although the beast wars cast just doesn't resonate with me like G1. You might just have inspired me to return to this endeavor. Interestingly enough, our "devil" concepts are identical.

I worked on this idea for awhile myself.

If only I had a little more artistic skill, a lot more patience, and paint program savvy.
