About This Deck
The Astral Tarot Deck is a complete 78-card tarot set designed with a distinctive cosmic art style. Each card is intended to be uniquely generated, promising that no two prints will be exactly alike, a feature highlighted in the campaign. The deck was developed by Afterlight, a student specializing in 3D modeling and VFX, leveraging state-of-the-art technology to produce its stunning visuals. The campaign, though canceled, aimed to deliver a full tarot experience with both Major and Minor Arcana.
The visual approach combines elements of space, celestial bodies, and mystical figures, rendered with a vibrant and often dark color palette. The campaign offered various options for the physical deck, including standard gloss tuck boxes and premium linen cards with matte tuck boxes, catering to different preferences for card feel and presentation. The emphasis on unique, cosmic art was central to the deck's appeal, positioning it as a visually immersive tool for divination.
While the campaign was ultimately canceled, the concept behind the Astral Tarot Deck focused on merging traditional tarot structure with modern digital artistry. The creator's background in 3D modeling and VFX suggests a sophisticated digital process behind the artwork, aiming for a high level of visual detail and atmospheric depth. The deck aimed to provide a fresh, contemporary take on tarot for readers drawn to futuristic and cosmic aesthetics.
