While browsing decks of tarot cards, I got the idea in my head to make my own. I started going through mythologies and themes that would be relevant to me, and inevitably I stopped at Harry Potter. Unfortunately, my own artistic skills are limited, but another thought stopped me:
Wouldn't it be great to get all those fantastic fanartists together

Hmm, if you want it cohesive, perhaps you should group together the artists and they can decide how they want the border to look and then have one artist work on the border (and the you can put the general/card pieces within). ^__^ Or, if you don't want it to be completely cohesive, you can have "general layout"/template for what the borders should kind of look like, and then each card's artists can incorporate their design. *hurls ideas at you*

I think it would probably safe to stick to a canon-ish area, especially where ships come into play, but again, that'll be more up to the community as a whole. (Incidentally, Lily/James would make a damn good pair for the Lovers card, methinks, as their relationship encompasses more of the breadth of what that card can represent than any other pairing, but perhaps that's just me. Remus/Sirius would work well, too, I think...but that would go into community calls on canon and slash both. So we shall see what sort of group we get...)

You should also set a standerd size and have a standerd border pre-made (if you wnat a border) as the look of the border can help determine the look of the card.
I'm all about the art part though ^___^
You know *L* We can do this deck without repeating a single character I think =P

And I bet we wouldn't have to repeat a character, either.. :D

Personally, I love the idea...I discussed the symbolism of Quirrell as the Hanged Man in my journal a couple of weeks ago, and have thought about several others, as well.
You can click here if you'd like to go see the works nasubionna already has done. She's the one who came up with the idea of Quirrell as the Hanged Man, and she did a beautiful rendition of the card, too. :)
