Two Of Pentacles - 78 Tarot - Rough Sketch :) This deck is Elemental and my card is an Earth card, So stones, rocks, moss, vines, trees, etc ;) I decided to go with a stone lion because I've always wanted to paint a lion. I made his tail extra long in a sort of a half figure 8 to represent the infinity symbol from the traditional card. To me the extra long tail makes him more magical & not just a typical looking lion. The two pentacles are sliced tree stump medallions with a carved sun on one & moon on the other. The pentacles will have a glow around them filling in the rest of the infinity symbol. They will be floating, one inside each side of the figure 8 pattern & will be a be a nice contrast to the stone lion and the glowing around his tail. His tail won't all be stone but a regular lion's tail like he's turning back from being stone. He's standing on balanced rocks that will have moss & greenery on them. I plan on making them taller at the bottom since the card is so long & that's where the 78 Tarot Card Title banner will be covering too. The background will probably be something with lots of greenery and vines etc again good contrast against the grey stone lion & rocks. Some wavy vines & 2 shadowed birds will represent the ships and ocean waves of the traditional card. I think that just about covers everything. I haven't thought of a title yet but there's lots of time for that.
I've already got the thumbs up from the 78 Tarot ladies Yay! I hope you like what I've come up with for my card too. I've set this aside for a while so I can work on a few smaller paintings in time for DragonCon.
xoxoox!
