My goodness, these are kind of fabulous! And disturbing! I'm a little creeped out by the umbilical cords (which make me think of intestines), though.
I love the pips (other than the cords). Gorgeous rich backgrounds, love the tree branches, the cups are beautifully detailed. I just really enjoy her illustration style and coloring in general.
I love all the little details, like how the Roy de Coupe is spinning his cup on his fingertip. Temperance, in pouring from one cup to the other, has taken her eyes off her task and completely missed. Strength is sweating with the effort of holding the beast's mouth. Little things like that.
Totally agree with this! Love the humor, and all the details you mentioned. I was also amused by the pointing and laughing on Judgement, Le Bateleur's creepy gesture of invitation, and the horrible literal depiction of getting shot by Cupid's arrow on the Lovers. I like the coins for eyes in the Deniers, and adore the expressive eyebrows: everyone is either mean or worried/sad. The Reyne de Deniers has a great expression, the way La Papesse reads the bible seems funny for no good reason I can explain, and I like that the Valet de Deniers vomits coins.
it almost reminds me a little of edward gorey
I can see that!
