Eight of Pentacles

Sun, 29 Jul 2007 10:27:56 PDT

Eight of Pentacles
An apprentice works on eight pentacles. This is the apprentice card. It is a card of starting over, doing something new or perhaps just expanding.
same, from aeclectic tarot

hora, it's now eight of pentacles
he had done si, now working for the rest, I made the last pentacle broken down (you might not see it as it's so dark behind -.-)
hope this picture won't be too dark for you as it's all ok in my monitor
can you see all seven pentacles at the BG?

What's with that ugly watermark? that's my handwriting anyway... -__- couldn't find the proper font for this

I'm so interested in joining , how about you? it's truly cool!
it will be my very first time drawing myself as myself and also my first time reveal my "truly animated" form online 8O
how many DA people has ever saw my face? (narciss mode on)

Three of Cups

Tue, 24 Jul 2007 12:56:11 PDT

Three of Cups
Three maidens with three overflowing cups celebrate. The creation here, springing from the relationship in the two of cups, is happiness, togetherness
from Aecletic tarot

all costumes are totally modified from original

so much difficulties in doing this piece
the 1st day was ok, but it was too midnight (or too early in morning?), so I have to left it and sleep
the 2nd day my sis borrowed my tablet...... grahhh
the 3rd day I was continuing this half way and my mum asked me to accompany my dad to the airport, all day long >_< arrr
the 4th day I screw up everything and in the end I didn't know what to do with the background
still don't know what to do with the BG, I'll just left it as it is, maybe I'll change it after getting some inspirations

I was reading a book about Chinese women history, it reminded me to my very old Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede picture, Then I decided to draw Asian girls. I love oriental scenes 'cuz I could put as many ornaments I want. Ornaments are srime, but I found it pretty nice

...not satisfied with this picture

Four of Wands

Four of Wands
The ships have come in, and the Querent can sit back and enjoy them. This card, with its four wands holding up garlands, implies the foundation of a house, literally and figuratively. Whatever the Querent has been building, they have established it, strong and solid. They can take a moment to admire what they've done, enjoy the first rewards it has brought them, and bask in their initial success. Sometimes this card suggests marriage; once again, laying the foundation for the future.
from Aecletic Tarot
click for details on face: [link]

one of my favourite card since it implies a good future
I draw four angels instead of four wands, it draws this feeling:
you have angels on your side
you're strong and peace
you're guided to the good
you'll hold the future in your hand (I'm making a bad poet today)

The man shows somebody who's about to get the success
The black and solid chair shows a strong and solid foundation behind him

paint this after I gave up Three of Wands, it took me days trying to define "passion to do something" into my own picture
so I dropped it and choose to paint easier card

ouh, I think I should put this on mature content >_< aw, I hate it if my work should be in that category
I've thought of giving them clothes, but it don't fit them right
This is not shotacon, lolicon or harem, and angels shouldn't have gender
errrr, whatever, I've just read Loveless, you know what I mean...
kyaaa Ricchan!!!! I like youuuu!! wanna hug him tight! XD XD

Two of Swords

Two of Swords
Infamous blindfolded lady with the crossed swords. Crossed swords suggest a clash of ideas or words. The blindfolded lady, indicating impartiality, cannot uncross the swords, but she keeps them still. This is the knowledge of how to compromise, keep these two sides in balance and at peace.
from Aecletic Tarot

hard, one hard picture, not the technique, but my heart seems didn't want to cooperate, feel so lazy, don't want to paint, etc...
once again, don't mind the anatomy, comments alone won't help me

those writings means nothing
blame Hamasaki Ayumi for scary eye

What Ilike about this pic is that it was made in 2007 July 07, 070707, cool, lucky seven for today

Fivr of Pentacles
King of Cups
Ten of Cups

Five of Pentacles

EDIT
on July 08: reshade the window so it won't looked like a huge watermark >_<
--------

Five of Pentacles
Two poor folk sit outside a church with five pentacles on its stained glass window. This is a card that predicts loss, financial loss, bad luck, a set-back in health.
from Aecletic Tarot

So much different from my usual style, less painting, more bold lines, textures and editing. Learn some new things from this pic
spend so fast painting the character, but spend so long drawing the window, while it ended up covered in shadow, grrr
using reference for the window
I just knew it that pentacles means something like pentagon >_< I change it into coins 'cuz it's more beautiful

anatomy error? I know about that, no need to point that part
I like the girl, but not the guy, he's only a usual guy without special sexyness, arrr you know what I mean >_<

King of Cups

EDIT
2nd day
Put back the cat plus a lil' bit of anatomy repair
can't edit so much since I've been yelled to leave the PC, ****!

1st day
removing ketzzzz
-----------------

King of Cups
The decision to start a new relationship, may indicate a man deciding to propose or just finally motivating himself to approach a special someone. This is a new love, but it is a mature love, one that is determined. Can also indicate a man motivated to be a new and better provider, father and husband.
from Aecletic Tarot

Inspired by my one and only Internal Bleeding Strawberry!
praise me if I could finish 56+22 piece of cards

The King of Cups!
Burning red with messed up curtains! Yay! (omg... it's so blurry in low-res O_o)
The emblem is greatly inspired by Deathnote, it's just too cool
I got so much difficulties with this pose, don't know how many references I use for it ended up like Mello on DN cover...grrr
The cat is somewhat distracting, but without him, the pic will looked too plain >_< should I remove him or not?

Tired of these edits <-sob->

---------------
There are twelve hearts, two are empty, nine are heartbrokens and one is a small tiny pure hearted.

The ten of Heart (or cups)
This is a permanence of joy, love, friendship. The kind of family we all work to create, a family we can trust, rely on, one that's there for us in the best and worst times. This is the family you look forward to seeing during holidays and on special occassions. The ones that come running out to greet you when you arrive at their house, smiles of joy on their faces. The Querent can be told that this family - or family of friends - can or is theirs (Aeclectic Tarot, 2006)

My card has the opposite meaning for sure
(no, I'm not going to make a deck of card)

Lately I don't draw so much Gosulolis. I really want a pack of Gosuloli cards
Greatly inspired by Olivia Lufkin song, "A Little Pain". Title also taken from one of her song and mini-album. "Internal Bleeding Strawberry"
