Moon Tarot Card (Substance Designer) on SketchFab. I took advantage of the new Clear Coat option to give it the look of having a thick lamination over top the metal foil.

This was captured from Marmoset Toolbag. I couldn't decide which capture I liked better, so I'm including both. The only differences are in the lighting and how much AO is applied.

Moon Tarot Card (Substance Designer)

File this one under “why not?”

I challenged myself to make a tarot card design entirely in Substance Designer as a way to practice and learn more about the program. I chose my personal favorite card, The Moon (XVIII). It took about two days in whatever spare time I could find around working and sleeping, and I'm quite happy with the result.

"The Moon card can point to a need to nurture yourself or to care for your health. For artistic people, its presence in a reading may mark a time of increased imagination and creativity."
- The Only Tarot Book You'll Ever Need, by Skye Alexander

I based the design on the Everyday Tarot (which is itself based on the classic Waite design): https://www.biddytarot.com/

Made entirely in Substance Designer.
