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.

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.

Heh, I thought the same thing when I was watching her paint it, that the woman should just cut the ropes on the sword that's right there in front of her. Blindfold or not. She'd probably get cut less that way than if she tried to squeeze through without unbinding herself first, like the writing on the site said to do.

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.
