Tarot art experiment

I've been researching tarot symbology and art recently. I'm thinking about a Karnese interpretation, how it would work to use the tarot system as a vehicle for representing Karnese culture.

I did this sketch tonight as an experiment for the eight of swords, which would be a griff card. A story about a griff that may not fly. It's not finished, but I'm curious what people think.



Edit: slight update to the pic.

Hey wow. Just a quick scan of my friends' page before I go to bed and I see this.

I find it confronting. Like really confronting. I read the eight of swords meaning and I realise why. Wow. Powerful. And powerfully interpreted in your piccie. j-t, I don't really understand the connection/interpretation of the Karnese culture, but I would love to know what you mean by that.

Verdigris wants to know what medium you used.

Hey there is a whole lot of symbology about broken feathers. That one underneath the other has its stem broken. Is that alluding to the symbology?

When I read cards for someone I just let the card itself speak. And what this one tells me is if only she could see or sense well enough to not hurt herself in the process, she could use the swords to cut the bindings.

Yeah. Inneresting interpretation of what she should do on that website. Like ... a bit um... boxed in, or not creative approach to the situation.

Or to unbind her ankles too and stand up and step over them.
