I'm glad you like it! I dunno, some people wanna print this out LOL. I think it would be cool if we could!

That is brilliant! I love the use of light in this, around Arthur's head and the beast. I hope mine will come up to this high standard!

I'm glad you like it! I worked really hard on that coloring and lighting o Ao And SRY this is minimum requirement everyone else's has to be better, over 9000 hours in ms paint.

But joking aside, I am very excited to see what you and everyone else comes up for this (and especially you lol, because you have hardcor3 skills!)

Ok WOW. This is fantastic! I love the tragic, resigned expression on Arthur's face, and how he is literally embracing his own death fdgsdgjhsg
I love the golden halo behind his head, and how it mirrors the sickly green glow under the Beast's. Beast which is awesome btw, with the eyes and the paws and the rings in the water and... UTTER BRILLIANCE.

(and OMG YOU EARLY EAGER PEEPS ARE MAKING ME NERVOUS. BUT ALSO, REALLY REALLY EXCITED. YOU ARE SETTING THE BAR MIGHTY HIGH, DUDETTES, AND I'LL TRY MY HARDEST TO MEET IT!)

Ah! Thanks for the nice (and also smart!) comment bb. That beast gave me no end of trouble in regards to perspective and lighting but eventually I tamed it.

(As I said to Sen up there THIS IS THE MINIMUM. It's like art pole-vaulting, you have to jump OVER IT - hell, jump TWICE IT'S HEIGHT. TOUCH THE UNTOUCHABLE! SHAKE THE UNSHAKEABLE! BREAK. THE. UNBREAKABLE!)

If you guys printed this deck up, I not only would buy it, I'd take it to my circle's Tarot Night and do readings with it! I love this card! Beautifuly done, and with great depth! Please print these up??

Man, I just don't know about printing yet. I would also love to have a set, hell, I would love to send a set to the creators of Merlin, and maybe sell them for charity? But printing is expensive and I have no idea about cardstock or anything. But I'm really glad you like them and think they would be worthy of sharing!

Beautiful! I love his expression and the graduation to the questing beast. Awesome :D

searains December 14 2009, 10:05:49 UTC

Yesss, thank you! I worked hard to make the transition between the two elements, man and natur, as smooth as possible.

searains December 14 2009, 10:07:07 UTC

; A; also I hope you're getting started on your card? I can't wait to see what you come up with for it!

soloproject December 15 2009, 00:12:49 UTC

Yes! I am really excited I got Lancelot LOL I've started doodling him at work but I hope I can sit down by the next weekend and really finish him in earnest. :DDDDDD

PS: Hey! I added you as a friend...I hope you don't mind :D
