OUROBOROS - TAROT - REBORN
by DestinationQ1
Theme: Modern RWS reimagining with a graphic, stylized aesthetic
Medium: digital
The OUROBOROS Tarot is a Rider-Waite-Smith reimagining, featuring digitally drawn artwork with a distinct, somewhat raw aesthetic. It presents a modern interpretation of classic tarot symbolism, aiming for a fresh visual experience.
About This Deck
The OUROBOROS Tarot is presented as a reinterpretation of the classic Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS) system, designed to offer a fresh perspective on familiar archetypes. The deck maintains the core structure and symbolism of the RWS tradition, making it accessible to those already familiar with the system while introducing a new visual style. The campaign, though brief in its description, emphasizes this 'reimagine' aspect, suggesting a balance between tradition and contemporary artistic expression.
The artwork appears to be digitally created, characterized by bold outlines and a somewhat unrefined, almost sketch-like quality in some areas, which gives the deck a unique, edgy feel. This approach allows for a direct and often humorous take on the traditional scenes, inviting readers to engage with the cards in a less formal, more intuitive manner. The color palette is varied, utilizing both muted tones and brighter accents to highlight key elements within each card's composition.
While specific details about card count, materials, or an accompanying guidebook are not provided in the campaign story, the visual evidence strongly suggests a full tarot deck. The intention behind OUROBOROS seems to be to provide a functional RWS deck that stands out aesthetically, appealing to readers who appreciate a blend of traditional structure with a modern, distinctive artistic flair.
