I was attempting to make a new deviantID, one that would be more me and less... everything else.
Unfortunately I am forever a being with two (usually opposing) sides. I could not decide with ONE tarot card to represent myself, so I went with cups (the more emotional) and wands (the more creative, artistic, powerful).
The top side represents most things yang, power, brightness, sun (the lighting), summer (her summer coat), and day.... and the bottom side most things yin, emotion, mystery, dark, winter, and night.
Fun points: The paint drips. Hehehehehe chrome filter *shivers*. The bubbles. They reflect a little light and color from the picture but are also filled with mist from the glass.
PIAs: That glass. I have to get better with glass. I ended up too afraid to keep the stark highs I had on it and now I realize it looks silly without them, but I am not going back to do them again because I don't think I could repeat the process. The bottom half is heavier (more mass) than the top. Though it does speak to opposites, I suppose, she doesn't change size usually, but then again she usually has a bottom half. Her wings did not go well in the picture. They blocked out everything. So off they went. Also not happy with the appearance of the ink on the card. I tried to make it look more like ink but the more I played with it... the worse it got.
Feel free to point out other things... I will probably have another one next year... or until you guys get tired of looking at this one on my page.
I really like this, by any chance do you do tarot commissions? Because I love your style, and I've actually had the idea in my head for sometime, just never really took ymself seriously until I saw this.

Man I would love to do a whole deck. It would be a matter of finding the time, and, come to think of it, there's already a dragon tarot artist... But I would love to do my own based mainly on my mammalian dragon breed and fantasy creatures, things like that.
Of course my friends would end up in there, probably.
An entire deck would be a huge undertaking, what with so many pictures to draw. ^_^ *purr*
Thank you for all of your comments, by the way. You really made my day!

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
