The World

The World is the 21st and last trump card in the traditional tarot deck.

Sha singing the water's return.

A small dark-skinned boy standing on a desert rock amidst the crashing wave of a flooding riverbed breaking around him. His head is thrown back, his arms spread, and he's singing with all his might. He's surrounded by a round nimbus of rainbow amidst the water spray. In the background is a clear blue sky and the round roofs of mud brick buildings,

I started this one a long time ago. At least before covid. I could never get Sha's pose and proportions and expression right, so after a few failed attempts at reworking it, it went on the back burner until I could figure out what the problem was.

But now the cub is almost the same age as Sha was when this happened. I have a perfect model running around my own house. So I went back to it and finally got it looking more natural. I'm mostly happy with how it's come out now.

Ace of Cups

A young black boy struggling to hold aloft an overflowing ornate wood chest. Water is cascading out of the chest, leaving puddles in the sand at his feet. The boy is wearing a brightly coloured woven loincloth with geometric patterns. In the background is a mud brick building with a round roof and set of double doors.

Anyway, it's Sha, struggling to lift an overflowing kifu, in front of Masta Ua.

Dunno what to say. It's me and Sha, sometime near the end of Water Song, I guess.

...I look a lot older than I thought I did. I'm only seventeen summers.

Speritu

Fiona and the Speritu, acrylic on canvas board, 18"x14", March 09

A scene from the evil chapter 12. Which nobody, including me, can figure out how the hell to get onto paper. Cut the artist some slack, that's not what I look like, but somebody can't paint faces.
