Toasty
Greetings,
I'd like to ask for some feedback/input about a small tarot-based project I've started on. Basically, I hope to do a set of 22 pictures showing slight spoofs of the major arcana of the tarot, using characters from the Super Mario games.
This is not intended for publishing or printing, it's not even a very serious deck. Just a small gimmick, could be called fan art with a twist, or a really daft way for me to kill time (reading grave, deep symbolism into Mario games would be taking things a -little- bit too seriously). But light-hearted or not, I'd like to do this properly all the same. My tarot knowledge is -very- limited, so I'm doing these images mostly based on the scraps of knowledge I do have. If anyone here who does know their tarots would be kind enough to look at the links below and let me know what's right and/or wrong with these so far, that'd be most appreciated.
So far, only the first five cards have been completed (scanning made them look a bit crooked in some places). Links below, providing they work;

The emperor:

That's all there is so far, I'd just like to find out if, according to more well-informed opinion, I'm on the right track or not with these, and why.
Might make for a "my first tarot" kind of deck if I manage to complete it (in case you want to teach your kid brother to read fortunes...errr, maybe not ^^; ).
Thanks in advance,
