Symbolic Character Systems for Card-Based Design
A 22-card tarot deck exploring occult archetypes through Gothic stop-motion aesthetic and vintage tarot presentation. Features memento mori imagery, dark folkloric creatures, and medieval symbolism.
Ornate gold borders and aged patina create consistent framing across all 22 cards. Midnight navy, burgundy, aged gold, and bone white maintain deck cohesion while each character explores its archetype through unique composition. Stop-motion tactility—fabric, bone, aged surfaces—ensures every card feels handcrafted rather than digital.
