1: The Magician - probably the only one that's going to have obvious symbols.
If I get the whole thing done I'll see about publishing it. Some friends have been involved in artist playing card projects, so I can get numbers and pointers from them, or I might just try to take it to someone who publishes these kinds of things regularly and not have to hassle with getting it into sales channels myself. Getting a good response here (away from my normal haunts full of people predisposed to like my work) is making me pretty sure it's worth trying to publish.
As to the gender - yeah, this is a very femmy take on the subject matter. I've been doodling some alternate Aces that're actually, you know, male; I'll decide which way to take it once I start on the suits. In general, I feel that the default gender of most card imagery is male, unless it's an explicitly 'female principle' being symbolized; I'm swapping this. Mostly because, well, I just like drawing girls more than I like drawing boys!
I think, ultimately, one of the main influences on my take on Judgement ended up being the Bob Clampett short "Tin Pan Alley Cats", in which a fat little cat goes into a jazz club and exhorts the trumpeter to "send me outta dis world!". I used to be part of the animation industry, so I'm weaving that sort of thing into this right along with more 'serious' resonances...
