The Chariot

A stern and regal-looking black woman with a gold circlet over short, swept-back hair, the sun haloed behind her head as she drives a chariot pulled by two beasts that look like a cross between an exotic deer and a horse. One has a deep grey coat and the other light tan, but both have brownish-red stripes and patches of white and tan on their faces. They have large ears silhouetted against the light, two curving horns each, and leather harnesses attached to reins held by the woman.

Ua'lin... being Ua'lin. How seriously you take her is up to you.

This is actually taken from one of the first pictures I ever drew of her. Same moment, but it was black and white, and a back view. Different clothes too I guess.



I even called it "The Chariot" back then, years before I started this painting series and before I really knew anything about tarot. I always wanted to do it in colour but the creatures pulling it were difficult from a technical perspective and I never quite managed it until now. They're from Ua/Uzazima (not nethik!) and I'm embarrassed to admit I don't remember what they're called, but they have a name and a mythology.

...Warrior ethos is easier to come by sometimes than playfulness.

Yes. It is isn't it. It's like ... being in crisis is often easier than just cruising along happily.
