Are there 10 swords on the 9 card?
YES there sure is. Great eye! Now the question is, "Why?"
I am clueless on the reasoning, or did the artist make a mistake?
9 of Pentacles
-I don't see mention of the blood coming from the center of the black rose in her hand.
-Also, the blood red eye of the raven keeps catching my eye.
-The shoes: Anyone else notice that one shoe is gold, the other is black, and the Pentacles are the contrasting color?
9 of Cups
-The belt buckle is a triangle, a symbol of fire on a water (cups) card.
As Aerin mentioned, all the cups are emitting a bright white light. I wonder what could that symbolize here in this water card?
-Both the guy, and the body behind him, seem to be reflecting a bright, illuminating light that seems to be shining on them. Is this the light emanating from the cups, or is the bright light from a different source, maybe from the area us, the viewer?
-The end of the belt keeps reminding me of a snake's head, and a shadow on his pants almost looks like the snake's tongue. All this is right there next to the area that is "well endowed"....
