Here is the reason why I have been a little quiet on DA of late... I have been working on artworks for a deck of tarot cards. There are 78 crads in the deck and each one needs a painting. Quite a big project! I also have an extensive manuscript to follow that has been written by the deck's author.

These are a sample of some of the Trump and Court cards. I have tried to use angles compositions and strong light sorces to add to the drama. With so many artworks to complete there is a limit to the time that can be spent on each one, but I hope that the set as a whole will make an interesting visual impression :)

Previously I didn't know much about the symbolsim and history of the tarot so it has all been quite educational ;)

The deck is now available for sale from [link]

Hmmm...I didn't buy this deck but the illustrations are very beautiful. I'm quite interested in Tarot and things like that. It's interesting.

This is amazing. Before now, I'd never thought that a Cthulhu tarot deck would work, but these make me think the idea might. Love it :D
