Requiem in Red Gothic Vampire Tarot Deck

I have wanted to create a tarot deck since I was 16 years old. And 16 year-old me with her Buffy the Vampire Slayer OBSESSION definitely came to play in this deck design. I focused on the themes of the popular Rider-Waite-Smith deck keeping close but playing in the darker vibes of vampires and creatures of the night.

The vintage comic book feel felt the best match even though watercolor art usually suits my fancy more. I wanted those harsh colors and defined lines.

And while this was fun and a LONG time coming. I definitely love the freedom that Oracle decks give me far more. I have two more tarot decks that I'm working on but that will probably be it for tarot for a long time as I focus on Oracle decks.
