Tarot Of The Lepidopteran People

[blue_fusion]

I've been busy with work (i finally got a job!), this was one of the last things i was workin on (aside from my other decks) before i got busy with things. The thing is, I can't seem to stop! its just that when a new idea pops into my head, i have to execute it immediately lest it gets lost in memory. Oh well, i do intend to finish all of them, maybe when my muse whispers yet again to my ears.

here it is:

These are very pretty indeed. I like the Veronica best though (but then I like things with a touch of wittiness).

So - you HAVE to finish one of these you know! We are all waiting!

Though I think it's enjoyable also to see the variety of your new work

Congratulations on the job - hope it goes really well, but still leaves you some tarot design time.

Oh, wonderful! This is the first hanged man I've seen that is entirely positive - after all, if you're winged, being in "bat" position is probably incredibly comfortable. I'm a color freak, so they're playing inside my head as I write. CorelDraw on scanned outlines, or all handwork?

 

[Astraea]

These cards are charming, without losing depth as a result -- very good work. The Hanged Man is my favorite, as well.

ack. you caught me red-handed. i thought i would be able to pull off that purely handwork art look to it. alas, it was illustrated in paper and colored in Corel Photopaint.

Actually, Lepidoptera is the family of butterflies and moths. So that's the inspiration of this new deck i am working on.

Very nice and bright!!

I do like the Hermit the best

Is this you forth deck? This shows that you like mega challanges
I can see a difference from your first deck and this one

I've never met anybody who could do a good pure gradient as well as a computer does - and if it comes out better than it can be done by hand alone, who's to argue?

 

[blue_fusion]

Maud: well, yeah, i like experimenting with different styles, and i think each deck i create should have its own unique aesthetic style to it.

Astra: well, it wsnt really that pure-looking a gradient that i wanted to achieve, that was why i used Corel instead of Photoshop. i like the effects iyts brushes can make.

My father was an entomologist. I follow in his footsteps for the love of the creatures. You have done absolutely wonderfully, beautiful with your cards. I can't wait to see more of them.....
I'm impressed with the program. When I get my new compter, I will have to get this program....

Really nice. I like that anime flavour then shaded over towards the tarot.
The figures are very intriguing and the 'look' of the whole thing is excellent.
