Having never had a Tarot deck, I may be wrong, but I love how appropriately symbolic each card has been. I can't wait until you get these printed- I can't think of a better first deck to get. I particularly like the idea of the '99's.
About what percentage of the cards have you done, if I may ask?
28 out of 78. (or of 80, or 84 - depends on if I do the two extra Fools, and all four 99s.) I'm about a third of the way through.
I've never had one either. I just have this weird compulsion to make one. I'm doing a lot of research and developing opinions about the whole history of Tarot decks, but it's quite possible that I could be missing ultra-obvious things and filling these full of all kinds of wrong. On the other hand it's pretty clear that 'wrong' is very subjective in this - if the images are resonant with symbolism, I succeed.
my current favorite :) i think the support post underneath could be a tint/gradiate to something even darker perhaps. they seem as bright as the stuff above, to my eye.

...I do go on.
