Ark’s Cards WIP/Finished?

Ok, I know i’ve dropped off the face of the planet lately – for full story, go here:

 

But anyway, heres’ what i’ve gone so far:

The Vagoo :  That face is going to haunt me. Ned to stick it into photoshop, it’s sure not dry enough to paint/glitter.

 

The Chariot: After fighting with Poser7 for days, I gave up. no Jesus included, at this point in time. 🙁 There’s a couple of different options for this one, though I think I like the colour one better.(It still needs to be cropped a bit, but I think that’s done, more or less.)

 

I think I like this second one better, need to fix up the face though, it went all stupid in the render, and I can’t seem to fix it.

Cat poop brooches: Ok, so though I was tempted to wait till the cat took a crap (not really), I decided that I’d just make them myself.  I know it looks like a pile of crap… thinking of re-shooting this one, and attaching them to a jacket or somethng.

 

scary balaclava: oncoming migraine + random theme doodling = this.

Alan Rickman Head Fish: I think for this one, the name had to be changed, due to copyrights, etc? Anyway, it’s half done at the moment, and i’ve called it severfish for the moment.

 

SEVERFISH IS DONE

feedback me, people! 🙂

4 of Tools (Owls) WIP

Very rough sketch of the 4 of Tools. I appreciate any comments. The owls are perched on embroidery hoops tied to a tree limb, except for the 4th one, which has fallen. I tied this to the 4 of swords, which has a person lying at the bottom of the card. I don’t think it’s clear whether the person in the card is dead or sleeping, so I tried to leave this one ambiguous as well.

Are you finished with your cards?

Time is closing in. If you bit off more than you can chew and need to get a card done, I am willing to take on another card. My email is: iampam@mac.com

Make sure you use the words “Tarot project” in the subject line.

Rapture/Judgement final!!

I tried doing all pastel-y watercolours for this but me and pastel shades just don’t work together… So I’ve gone for a whole rainbow of colours! As I said on the WIP she is loosely based on Martha Stewart welcoming the cupcakes to heaven, but that little glint in her eye? Yep, she’s gonna eat them all up. And I don’t even want to know what she’s going to do to that poor unicorn.

7 of Genitalia – Cockglocks

So I realized that I had ‘miscalculated’ – the 7 of Genitalia should be more along the lines of the 7 of Cups.  (Understandably, perhaps  I was mixing the cockglock in with the ‘Tools’.)

I’d originally planned on something similar to the traditional 7 of wands image, with one figure holding a cockglock facing down 6 opponents…

 

My realization and revamp kind of makes it more fun – I’m sketching a space ray-gun based cockglock with a UniPorn stye tip and rainbows shooting out of it.

I’d like to also do a SteamPunk version, sort of based on Buck Rodger’s gun and a more ‘sex machine’ Steely-Dan style tip; I’ll see which one turns out best.

 

Given the card size, I think a simpler image is best.  (And the 7 can be marked by the seven color rays streaming out of the tip.)  I could do a version with 7 different styles of cockglocks – from the first firearms to futuristic ones – but I think that could be too crowded.

 

Thoughts?
