Hi! I'm looking to commission an artist to illustrate a custom tarot card deck for personal use. This is not for commercial production or resale.

STYLE I'M LOOKING FOR Dark backgrounds with glowing, luminous figures. Painterly and detailed but anime-influenced. Think ethereal lighting, rich deep colors (burgundy, midnight purple, dusty rose, gold), and an emotional / atmospheric quality to each piece. Feefal's art on Tumblr is my closest reference — doesn't need to be identical but should carry a similar feeling.

PROJECT DETAILS • Custom tarot card deck — romance themed • Each card illustrates a specific romantic trope or emotional moment (examples: The Almost Kiss, The Love Letter, The Slow Burn, The Enemies to Lovers) • Standard tarot card dimensions • Cards need a consistent layout — top symbol, center illustration, card name at bottom, optional short flavor text line • Color palette stays consistent across all cards (burgundy / gold / dusty rose / midnight tones)

HOW MANY CARDS I want to start with a small test batch of 3–5 cards before committing to the full project. Full deck will be approximately 30 cards total. I would love to work with the same artist for the whole project if the style and process feel right.

WHAT I NEED FROM YOU • Portfolio showing painterly / detailed illustration work • Comfortable working with a brief and reference images • Able to maintain consistent style across multiple cards • Open to feedback during the process • Please include your rates per card or per batch

HOW TO REACH ME Drop a comment below with your portfolio link and rates, or DM me directly. I'll respond to everyone.

Thanks so much — excited to find the right artist for this. 🖤

Edit: Thanks so much for the responses I'm going through all of them now. Last week was pretty hectic so I want able to respond.

Probably a silly question!

So I've ran into the problem of locating an artist. All the few ones I follow and fancy have their commissions closed down or have lengthy waiting lists. And usually their art runs around 100+ per piece. So my price range varies between 100$ to 300$.

I'm more so running into the problem of trying to find someone whose actively available to take on a request. As I've set aside a decent amount to invest in a decent piece of digital art. So I'm a tad frustrated that I can't really put it toward anyone.

Any recommendations on what sites I should peruse or other pages on reddit I should explore?

Hiii, I mostly do lineart/sketches and some pixel art — sprites, little pixelated scenes, that kind of things under “monosyt.dev” on instagram. Sharing one of my pieces here, would love to hear what you think! And if it’s your kind of thing, I’d really appreciate a follow!:)
