The Fifth AT Deck in Progress

@TRUELIGHTH

I like the technique. It produces a very interesting effect - if I understand correctly, it's something akin to Michelangelo's discovering the sculpture in the stone by subtraction or removing and thus revealing the image. The Hanged Man is illumined out of the darkness or the shadows. That's beautiful. I'm definitely seeing things differently!

@GLITTERNOVA

Yes, I agree with Reall. You have a very unique style. The cards look great! Something about those pentacles...they have a certain kind of aesthetic appeal. I really enjoy looking at them! There's a part of me that wouldn't want to let them go, which is an interesting feeling for me to be experiencing, given the nature and meaning of the card. I also like what you did with the 8 of Wands - definitely cool. Glad you're having fun, GN!

Keep Creating!

Oh crumbs. I forgot about this.... 6 Swords.

The card:

A seagull and a rooftop from Venice. Photoshopped together.

Meaning:

"She's leaving home, bye bye" sing the Beatles.

There's a way forward - and you are going to find it. It will work, and work well - but not here, not in this situation you're in. You must find a new path.

You try and photograph a moving seagull with an ordinary camera. That one - well, it was about my millionth attempt - thank the lord for digital cameras. Imagine if I'd had to use film !

I'll see if my SO has any good flying birds when he gets back from Canada. But it has to be flying away - it's the "away" that is the whole thing ! I'm glad you approve, though - thanks.

I like it, both the card and the Beatles quote.


I've been working on my Tower today. Basically I started over (not with a new idea, but a new drawing). It's coming out better.

Thanks. Wish it had been freakier.

I decided against personal, went for topical.

LOL Love it

Finally got my butt unstuck and painted my 5 of Cups - only, it is 5 of Pails lol!

The whole point of it is how we expend so much energy building things, or pour so much energy into things, that are not meant to last. It is also a nostalgic pull towards the past and childhood. The 5 of Cups is very much backwards looking...we never think of what to build next, even though we have full pails of sand, because we are busy looking at what we have done so far. Time to move forward! The tide certainly shall, and all ephemera will go with that tide.

I kept the style loose and painterly, and a bit washed out, suits the seaside theme.

Hope y'all like it
