Thank you again to everyone who has responded!
And O.K. O.K... I promise not to be so shy about sharing and to accept that I am an artist...even though I have never learned the rules, and I have no idea how someone uses a color wheel!
Your support of this crazy dream of mine and your wonderful encouragement has made me panic a little less when I realize...78 paintings!!! I must be out of my mind!
I wanted to mention a bit about the borders...or lack therof.
My thought is to go borderless with these cards, mostly because I think a lot of the images already have a border built in with the velvet drapes and the collums, and also because one of my favorite decks is the Morgan Greer...which I adore, in part, because of the bold image that completely covers the cards.
But is it too strange to have a borderless deck? And if I were to have borders, can anyone here offer me some ideas on what they should look like? I really don't have any clue what would work with the design.
This next card is Death.
And a weird thing happened with it, that I thought I should share...
Originally there was a child depicted in this card.
Right there...on the left.
He was in my preliminary sketches, and was even drawn into the card itself.
But somewhere along the way to completion...he just vanished.
And the one behind the Grinning Skull is not talking...
