Fanart Tarot

A fanart tarot is a tarot deck illustrated with motifs from a fandom, often characters but sometimes also items that have significance in the fandom. Often only the major arcana is done, and the decks are based on the Rider-Waite Tarot. Fanart tarots are often created collectively in a community akin to a themed challenge, and fanartists pick or are assigned a card to illustrate; but there are also single creator fannish tarots. While many tarot decks are printed out physically, some decks are only online or illustrations/analysis as part of another project.
The kind of fanart used differs. Sometimes only drawn art is used, sometimes only manips, and rarely a mix between mediums. 
==Popularity in specific Fandoms==
For the Supernatural vid Carnival of Rust absrip manipped several SPN tarot cards that are featured in the video and because there was a lot of interest in the cards she later posted them separately in full size.
Tarot cards became popular within Bioware fandoms in 2014, after Dragon Age: Inquisition featured them heavily in game. This has also lead to many artists drawing cards in a style inspired by Inquisition, even if the card itself is not related to Dragon Age.
