Trying my hand at making a deck ...

Three of Swords. Because sometimes life just sucks.
Yes, three of Swords just goes with the turf of life. It's part of the scene. Sometimes life seems almost like a curse. But there is no foreground without a background, or light without darkness, heads without tails, good without evil.

This looks like being a really scary deck, akirafist....

I like a bit of scary...

Well, there's no blood coming off it. I guess that's the 'good' side of the card?

Well the deck isn't all roses, puppies and little ponies prancing around the garden. If there's bad news, it's not afraid to hand it out. But good news is handled the same way, with very lovely and bright cards to go along with them.

Right now you're only seeing the bad cards, because I'm doing those first.

But in on the same topic... wait until you see Death. :)

Death is THE card for me in any deck. I am now DEEPLY impatient !

Death. There's no background for a reason - I wanted the image to stand on its own.
Hand took a RIDICULOUS amount of time to get exactly like I wanted it (I'm a Virgo, very picky lol).

I feel my drawing skills getting better and better after each card. Gonna save the majors (well the rest of them) until the very end, after like 6 months when my drawing is VERY good. And the kings. I have BIG plans for the court cards (like 5 days each kinda plans).

The Two of Cups

On the road leading nowhere, otherwise known as our lives, occasionally we find someone special. Someone who completes us in every way possible, and makes us feel important beyond anything we had imagined.

SO not what I was expecting to see based on the description and the cards I've seen so far, but absolutely perfect. Made me go "Awwwwwwww...." :thumbsup:
