Pony Tarot Cards!

[Wizard 1,249]

Hello all you wonderful ponies! (And every other species~)

I am working on making some Tarot cards based on MLP, specifically the 'Major Arcana' which are the 22 named cards. A full deck has 78 cards, and that is a loooot of cards.

I fully planned on making all of the art myself, but then thought about getting the community involved! So here is my plan: Whether you are an artist or not, feel free to join in and suggest what ponies should be on each card, you can suggest one, or multiple! If you would like, you could even join in with designing the cards! I am working on a template for the cards, basing them on an easy-to-measure standard-sized playing card.

Here is a form to fill, if you would like to join in. This is simply so it's easy to spot suggestions among conversations when scrolling through the thread:

Are you suggesting or drawing it?:

 

You can suggest ponies from any generation! I actually think some diversity in style and substance would make this quite unique, when compared to other major arcana decks I've seen based on MLP.

 

My initial idea is to base the cards off of the idea that they are owned by Trixie, since she has the whole 'roaming gypsy magic' thing going for her. Though I am not against suggestions on others. Going off of this idea, the backs of the cards would be based on Trixie, with blue, purple and perhaps some gold in the design.

I am still sketching out ideas, but if you would like to join in, make some suggestions, and see where this goes, then please feel free to post your suggestions below!

I've whipped up a design for the front and back of the cards.

 

This is the front, the heart at the top will have the number of the card, while the ribbon on the bottom will have the name of the card.

 

And this is the back of the card, I've tried to make the cards look aged without looking damaged.
I used Trixies' cutie mark because the idea is that this is her personal deck of cards.

Yes, I think the princesses are a perfect match for those!

Pinkie/Cheese sandwich work well as the fool! I Personally feel "The Magician" fits Trixie more.

Great suggestions!

Wow, that's a full deck! You put a lot of thought into this! There are so many here I hadn't even thought of, such as Zecora and Babs Seed!
I also love changing "the fool" to "the foal"

I'm not an artist, but I'd be interested in purchasing one once it's made.

I've whipped up a design for the front and back of the cards.

 

This is the front, the heart at the top will have the number of the card, while the ribbon on the bottom will have the name of the card.

 

And this is the back of the card, I've tried to make the cards look aged without looking damaged.
I used Trixies' cutie mark because the idea is that this is her personal deck of cards.
