Tarot art experiment

[pyraxis]

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.

Holy crap j-t, that's just a sketch and not finished yet? XD You do crazy things with mood and color and I like how the back is all blurry compared to the front, it's like you squished a painting and a photograph into one thing. I really like it. Are you going to do more Tarot cards?

Yeah XD. But maybe I should leave it blurry like that. I want to fix the ground, though, because it was supposed to have a dirt texture, and I have to fix her hands, and the sketchy lines in the cloth in the top right.

I really want to do more cards. Still thinking about which ones to look at next.
