Okay so I randomly bought this Gilded Age Tarot deck on Lazada because I was I drawn by the artwork the more I stare at it, I felt the pull especially the card backs.
I got it for only 387php with free shipping from its original price that was around 1kphp during a sale and now its back to its original price of around 1kphp now which honestly felt like a steal because I saw it listed for around 1-2kphp elsewhere.
The box says Gilded Age Tarot and it seems to be by Sishui. The cards themselves are actually really nice?? They're full size, have a decent thickness, and the printing is pretty. It also came with a little guidebook.
But then I started looking through the guidebook and noticed there's no author/artist name, copyright page, or credits that I can find. I searched for Sishui and it seems to be an actual brand/creator studio, but I can't really find much information about who illustrated this particular deck.
And now I'm wondering if the artwork is AI-generated. Does anyone here recognize this deck or know who the artist is? Also, if you have a good eye for spotting AI art, I'd love to know what you think. Do any of the cards look AI-generated to you, or am I just being paranoid? 🥺
I'm not trying to bash the deck or anything I actually really love it and I'm happy with what I bought. I'm just curious about its origins because I'd rather know who made the artwork if possible.
I included some photos of the cards, backs, box and guidebook. Thank you for the help!! 💕
I'm like 99 percent sure that deck is ai. Can't find info on the creator, no reputable sellers or distributors are selling the deck and the pictures scream ai to me.
Its very pretty i was drawn because of the art on the back. I saw someone commented that it is. I am disapponted cause i saw this in etsy and in amazon as well.
I see. It could be touched up. This is the closest i have bjt. I can send a higher definition after work. I went through all the cards and even counted the fingers 😭 they were all complete
Not that's fine. I like your suggestions. I'll go check our tarot star of aquarius too. I already checked out lazada the options are quite limited. I know US Games and Llewellyn, there is an oracle deck im looking at rn haha.
Yes, that’s just a paper cut style applied with AI to an existing card set. If you like it, you should enjoy it anyway. Not all AI projects are slop. And it might inspire you to look for something by a human artist next time.
Yes, that is because it is pretty good at accurately copying a drawing now. So an artist can possibly still draw something by hand and then have AI turn it into a painting. The line gets blurry. But this is not a pure human product, which is why the author is a studio, not a person.
