Pardon the rambling text:
I wanted to start posting here once I had an actual finished artwork (colours and all), but I figured I might as well show it in its in-progress state.
As a semblance of an intro - I was out of circulation (from the tarot world) for some years due to a number of, well, things that had a strong impact in my life. Wasn't able to do art during this time as well. I didn't realize I'd miss creating this much (and tarot too!), so I decided to try doing some sketches, originally just as warm-ups, and they ended up looking like tarot art so I developed them further.
As an aside, along the way, I unearthed a lot of unfinished tarot projects and ideas I jotted down for future decks, some of which have already recently been wonderfully executed by other artists (like the cephalopod and the Silhouettes) - though my approach would have been different so mebbe I'd still pursue executing these in the future. Hopefully these unfinished ideas, sketches, shadows of decks, would be enough to help me reclaim/remember strokes, techniques, ability to execute different styles, etc.
here's some of those sketches (some were originally intended as mini deck freebies I used to give out whenever I self-published a deck:
A - Clockwise, from top left: a high priestess, 2 fools, a magician, and an empress.
B - Two different high priestesses.
C - A priestess and a fool for an oriental cat deck (the priestess has the same pose as that of the Curious East's - I think I was doing that deck when I sketched this one).
