Artist's Comments

I hope this is alright for the tarot card project =jieyi invited me to join back in...April? March? I procrastinated on it so long, I've forgotten when the project was actually established! Bad me.

I decided to do The World of the Major Arcana, and this is what came of the concept I had in my mind. The inspiration for this image was the beach, seashells, ears, the insides of cars, and nature in itself.

This depicts a motherly figure protecting her "child" (the earth) from the four elements.

The thing I am so proud of in this image...is the background. I've never done rocks before, I've never done splashing waves before...this was all a huge challenge for me that both frustrated me and caused me to be overjoyed with the outcome. I was persistent, despite my laziness, and I think this is one of my best pieces so far.

Please enjoy, and hold back on the critique. I'll explode if you guys nitpick it to death.

Some of the shadows confuse me (like around the chest; the shading on the legs and everything else is great *_* ), but I already told you what I think over alllll :hug: Wings~ :eyes:

The shading around there was a little rushed, I'll have to admit... :faint:

Haha, you ask for people to hold back their critiques but seriously, what is there to critique? XD This is gorgeous!! I can't imagine how much time it took - I really, really love how colorful the wings are. I'd be super proud of the background too, the rocks look so good and are just enough to be interesting and detailed without taking away from the "mother" figure. Come to think of it, all four elements look so realistic - your painting is amazing, man O_O The concept is great too, to have this spiritual-like character hugging the Earth to protect it.

My favorite is really the wing design and the rainbow of colors you used on it. It's just so, so pretty ;_; This'll be a beautiful card.

Also, the insides of cars? XD

Wonderful! Amazing colouring and concept, and such detail too! :heart:
But what do cars have to do with this image? xD
