Description For [link] =Aquafeles 's "Tarot Cards or Gemstones" Contest.

Page of Daggers
also known as Valet of Swords
I looked up the tarot cards and for some reason this one stood out the most. This was its description:
• An alert, inquiring mind
• Vigilance
• Learning (or trying to learn) from conflicts and difficult situations
• A sense of detachment from your problems. (Consider how a child may create a fantasy world in which to escape a reality that s/he cannot cope with)
• Secret activities; spying
• An emissary
• Upsetting messages or Unexpected news

weird, huh? All the cards sounded so interesting, but for some reason when I read this description, I felt a strange.. connection to it. Like I immediately thought up a character. I mostly played on the "A sense of detachment for your problems." The character in this is creating a fantasy world to escape to.

FIRST LINEART IN AGES! I'm so excited. The linearting was as boring and tedious as I remember. as was the cell-shading. But I enjoyed making this. Took my an entire day working on it on and off. It's also more detailed than usual and I tried to make a creative outfit. Didn't quite succeed, but better than my usual clothes. Does anyone know what a Page wears?! I have no idea, so I just made it up.

Ah that's all for now. I really shouldn't spent all this time on this. I have alotta work this weekend. But it was a 3-day weekend and I wouldn't feel right without drawing something.

holy crap this is incredible. I have to say my favorite part is the background; the smoggy blue and the orange glow.. I've looked at the other entries, yours TOTALLY sticks out

Awesome!
He's much cuter than the people in "Tarot Cafe" -- and a lot less androgynous too .

haha yeah I actually first thought of tarot cafe but I don't think I can quite pull off indistinguishable genders just yet. Maybe in a few years

ThatsWhatSheSayd In reply to yil3e [2008-05-26 14:12:33 +0000 UTC]

Ah yes. Androgyny is a very difficult concept to master. You have to put huge, thick eyelashes on everyone and give them all long, flowing hair and then give them all big, shiny lips. v. v. hard.
