pyraxis: j-t as Sen from Spirited Away (j-t)
A digital painting of a man lying on a bed in dim blue moonlight, with a blond woman in profile leaning over him and gently touching his cheek. His brown skin is pale and sallow in the light and her light skin is tinted slightly green. He wears a flat disc of dark wood on a gold chain around his neck and over his heart.

A little sketch that started as an angsty exercise in disturbing skin tones (he's not dead, just very ill, and she may as well be a ghost). Been working on it bit by bit as an antidote to loneliness.

I've been working on this one for a while, but that's mainly because I started it before our move. Today I finally had the chance to put some finishing touches on it.

They are Auben and Amber, two of the people in the Water Song.

A young, well-built black man clasping in his arms a shorter blond woman with long braids pulled into a hairnet at the nape of her neck. She's wearing a simple vest over a light blouse and skirt billowing in the wind, and he's wearing a fine woven tunic with geometric tribal patterns and loose pants. Falling from her hand is a broken branch with an apple. Behind him is a desert with a dead tree and a small white-robed figure standing nearby. Behind her are lush tropical plants.

The Lovers is a card about pairs and duality. It's the sixth card of the Major Arcana. There's a sense of ambivalence about it - sometimes it features a man caught between two women instead of a man and a woman joined. The idea is that something else has to be given up, some sacrifice has to be made, in order to pursue the love that has come into the querent's life. Auben and Amber both turned away from major influences in their lives as they turned to each other. The card can mean falling in love with a person, but it can also mean coming to something which feels as if it completes you. It's a bond which is felt at a deeper level than the conscious mind.
