Suikoden/Shadow Hearts tarot cards!
I am surprised at my roommate's talent to be able to tell apart all the blonde girls on Laguna Beach apart. They're all whiny, they all dress the same, they all speak in the same manner, and they all look the same.
Alrighty, since I'm sick and tired of trying to remember rules for a language that I don't understand (Italian), and do translations in it, I'll write in English. It's a grand, grand language, especially since I actually understand a great deal more of it than I do Italian.
So, artwork! The last thing I *really* bothered to draw was a mermaid, and I think that picture is over three years old by now (wow, that Deviant Art account was actually useful!). The adult-becoming process has slowly drained me of my artistic skills, or whatever I may have possessed way back when. One thing I've always wanted to do was to draw a set of the major arcana for tarot cards with Suikoden characters because I adore it so. I'm pretty sure I'm not the first, or even the tenth person who has done this, but whatever, man! This is kind of at a stand-still, mostly because I don't have the time to draw, the art skills to properly draw, and I don't actually know anything about tarot cards to begin with, except what I read in the Kindaichi manga, and whatever I bothered to read on Wikipedia. ♥ And uh, wow, it's been a really long time since I've played Suikoden I-III, it's taking me a while to think of characters.
I wouldn't mind doing cards for Shadow Hearts/Koudelka though, but are there enough characters? Probably, meh.
00 THE FOOL Thomasssssss ♥, for some reason it seems so appropriate/Frank! :)
01 THE MAGICIAN Luc or Jeane ♥/Lucia
02 THE HIGH PRIESTESS Sarah/Koudelka
03 THE EMPRESS Jilia/Shania
04 THE EMPEROR Jowy/Natan
05 THE HIEROPHANT Shu?/Edward (Koudelka)
06 THE LOVERS Luc x Sarah, Odessa x Flik or Tengaar x Hix?/Killer x Lady
07 THE CHARIOT Kyril/Margarete
08 STRENGTH Emily Bell, Viktor, or Kika/Joachim
09 THE HERMIT Lazlo?/Gepetto
10 THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE Nanami/Shania?
11 JUSTICE MIKLOTOV! ♥/Karin
12 THE HANGED MAN I really want to do Jacques for this card for no reason/Johnny
13 DEATH Tir or Lazlo?/ Nicholai or Kato
14 TEMPERANCE Chris Lightfellow/Keith
15 THE DEVIL Probably Yuber, who else?/Hilda ;)
16 THE TOWER Geddoe/Anastasia
17 THE STAR The card of hope, eh? The Flame Champion/Halley?
18 THE MOON Of course, Sierra, clichéd as it may be/Mao?
19 THE SUN HeroV? Hero V's mom? /Alice?
20 JUDGEMENT Geddoe/Alice? Oh wait, Jeanne!
21 THE WORLD Leknaat seems to be the obvious choice here, but how clichéd/Yuri or Roger Bacon
Not sure if I should actually do "real" drawings for these or Powerpuffs, it'd probably be a lot easier to draw them in Powerpuffs than anime. Hm! If I'm going to do Powerpuffs, then the Star card (Flame Champion) is done. Great! It looks kind of Mondrian-esque, I'll have to sleep on it to see whether or not I like this overall design for the cards. Powerpuff font isn't probably ideal for tarot cards, but Powerpuffs themselves aren't ideal either, I'm guessing. Joachim as a Powerpuff seems hilarious. Whee. Character suggestions for cards will also be considered!
