Artist notes: This was made for the drawmelot Zodiac Project collaboration (with apologies to the mods, I do not yet have an artist tag as this is my first post as a member of drawmelot). There are more notes with the art beneath the cut.
Taurus is a sign with earth as its element, hence the brown robes and stone walls. It's ruling planet is Venus, and it's animal is the bull. A spring sign, it is associated with the color green, which I used for the banner background. The poppies embroidered on Gaius's robes are one of Taurus's flowers (very apt for a physician!). One of Taurus's birthstones is lapis lazuli, which is inside the Taurus zodiac symbol brooch. Taurus is known for being patient, steadfast, strong willed, persistent, and dependable. Being warm-hearted, a Taurus is a faithful lover. But a Taurus can also be jealous, possessive, self-indulgent, or greedy.
