Justice

The final image won't contain the black border.

I wanted to try something closer to abstract art (which I was never good at). The resulting look ended up something like a cross between my Shards of Light Tarot and the Tarot Resom. Strangely enough, my initial intention was to make an Art Deco artwork. I wanted to make a connection between impartiality and the "flawlessness" of Mathematics' nature. Will try to expound more on this on the write-up.

I'll send the big file tomorrow morning.

Very cool! I got the Art Deco influence right off. And the mathematical flawlessness/impartiality concept is great.

Blue_Fusion, I love it! Kind of reminds me of tarot of the Cat People with the symmetry... great job!

Wow, blue_fusion! Great concept! Fantastic job! I'm very interested to read your LWB.

Wonderfully effective, blue_fusion! It does look very Art Deco to me, and very structural, like it's made out of metal and standing on its own. Very cool!

Thanks, everyone! I really enjoyed doing these cards.

frejasphere, I can't wait to see the finished 2 of wands! Love all the intricate details. And it is interesting how the 2 and the 3 go together so well. Serendipity!

YES! They are both so gorgeous! I love the airy feel, and there is something a little Viking about it, too. Great job both of you!

It really is an amazing deck. Such a kaleidoscope of styles and colors.

Here is the Seven of Coins, I hope you all like it.

Two wealthy women admire a collection of bonsai plants for sale. The bonsai seller kneels by her creations, describing their aesthetic qualities to the prospective buyers. Her ingenuity and effort, and the time she has spent growing these exquisite plants, may be about to pay off.

Meaning: fruitful effort, profit, reward, investment

Thank you Tarot Orat I love your ship and can't wait to see it finished - I was thinking the same thing... Seredipity - it's fabulous

@Laura - thank you so much - hoping to complete in next day or two

@reall - you're too kind

@Flames - thank you and yes, please give yourself an extension I have just resurfaced from a marathon workload and need that extra time too Can't wait to see your 7 of Wands

@blue_fusion - I really like your take on Justice - to me it feels a bit like Art Deco meets M.C. Escher, where depending on how you look, you can travel into the image seeing different things and patterns - all in perfect balance

@Padma - thank you (love the 'little Viking' bit)
