Follow up to Generalized Art Post #1, which is getting long (and probably long to load as well).

Art may be posted as comments here. :) Please limit width to 600 pixels (and for on-screen viewing you probably want to limit to 72 dpi as well, so the filesizes don't blow up).

I've really been enjoying seeing the creativity of those of you who make art & graphics. :) Thank you for sharing your works!

>_< Too late. (Although there could have been a few of the majors that I missed.)

From:

Oh no, I'm so sorry! Uh...not that I'm likely to make another fake Tarot, but in future you could ask me...I would have shared the list and saved you so much trouble...so sorry...

From:

(aah no, I did things the lazy way by copying batches of the andan spread onto one doc and searching for aces-masters of each suit, while checking to see if there were any majors that I hadn't seen yet. I guessed that there were twenty-two of those? and that each faction had an approximate representative in them :D?)

From:

BEADS.

From:

I wasn't strict about faction representation (handwave: Machineries of Tarot predates the heptarchate and evolved haphazardly throughout), but yeah, 22 Major Arcana, etc.

I had associated roses with cups for social connections and emotions (4 and 8 of roses), doors for swords because DOOM and actual swords, gears for pentacles, and eyes for wands with planning/wins and losses/things that are on fire? That way it works even if you switch air and fire associations for swords and wands, since the eyes are all fairly cerebral and the Kel are themselves. BUT the only book I've finished so far is the Castle of Crossed Destinies years ago, and not much else.

With playing cards, isn't the set of meanings a bit different? (I ask because I keep longing for pretty playing card decks too.)

From:

pengwern

If you had an order for them, I'd love to see that! (Me when I saw the Scholar reversed was 'frivolity': ah, there's the Shuos.)

From:

Um, so, your character did not spend the entire voyage trying to figure out how to time each workout so as to coincidentally run into Kaliyan but not actually get in the way.

From:

zuhrovet

The moral is that my personal associations with cups are much more heavily Intuition and The Unconscious & much less about everyday feelings, which is what I get for learning from a manual that was rather too happy about the Golden Dawn (might've been Waite's book, or a 1970s edition of it with some extra introductory matter).

I'm sure there are other traditions for playing cards, but it's easy to match the suits and go from there!

From:

zuhrovet

I . . . am just not that good at applying gold leaf, heh. It's hard to get a crisp edge and I really ought to get someone to give me a proper lesson.

From:

pengwern

I don't remember what everyone was doing with the invented Rahal traditions, but now I'm worried about the hexarchate's mystics. (the golden dawn I would fight though)

From:

zuhrovet

I feel like there must have been a strong Liozh mystical tradition. Some references probably survive in weirder and edgier Andan work.

From:

pengwern

I hope this doesn't come out too big, but

A mothling Crowned-With-Eyes I made a few weeks ago, with extra glitter, iridescent powder, and googly eyes

*gasp, wheeze*

From:

pengwern

The crown of eyes fits as a ring, so it can be towed like a miniature kite scattering void dust/glitter everywhere, or whirled round and round. (I suspect the mothling would have fun doing the same)
