I think her pose shows a little more sassier, which I like. Hopefully my friend can digitally add a little more space at the bottom for grass so the bottom of the cup does not get cut off. I will finish tweaking some minor things I see and see if I can get her scanned and off to get digitally enhanced. I will work on finishing the write up and send it to you @Raggydoll so you can include it in the guide book thread.

The paper made a huge a difference and of course not having the horrid nose did wanders for me too. I also like the dress a lot better. I think with some minor tweaks from my "magical" digital friend and I will be really pleased. Yay! Were you able to solve the scanning issue?

It is raining today, so will need to wait for the weather to clear, and to have the time to stop there, but that is the only thing I can think of. I am PM'ing you the description for the guidebook. If this is not what you are looking for tell me and I will re-write it.
itessiaria Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Just scrolled through and looked at the artwork, you all are doing a great work! 😍 Seems to be a wonderful deck.
Jewel Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) OK so keeping in line with the type of concept I used from the Novice of Water, here is the Novice of Air concept with her emerging from a book and she has a sylph companion. There will be more tweaking, and I need to find a way to incorporate a crystal or two! 😆, but here is my starting concept: Edited January 28, 2020 by Jewel

So... yeah, that is quite daunting! 😅 You guys should stop thinking about how long it takes. You should just make one card at a time, or maybe work on several at the same time 😊 I know you can do this!

You have so much advice to give... but tell me, when will YOU be starting on YOUR own deck then? 😛 That’s something I would really love to see!! 🥰
Jewel Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 1 hour ago, joy said: Same @Jewel I prefer the first one! Well done you!!! ❤️ 😀 OK that is the one that will go in the deck. Glad I revised her smile and colored her for the heck of it @Raggydoll& @joy so glad you guys like the idea for the Novice of Air. As I was finishing up the Novice of Water the idea occurred to me and I saw the card was still available so I signed up to do her. I may have to do the other two (pentacles and wands) just for personal fun. Not sure what it is with me and this Novice/Page kick

Since I did Novice of Earth and Fire, i think it's pretty cool you're doing the other 2!
geoxena Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) I had my artwork scanned today and have just sent it and the text for the LWB! I've decided to upload a piece of it, just as a tease. Here is the main part of the picture: Edited January 29, 2020 by geoxena

Ok,next idea then. 🙂 Just cos its similar doesn't mean it won't be different and have different meanings! Don't forgo your original idea just because it might be similar to someone elses because you will render it in your own way!
Arania Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 Yeah I might try out both ideas and find out which fits better.
geoxena Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) 3 hours ago, Arania said: Oh... so similar to my new concept of The Seer. Ok,next idea then. 🙂 There are always a few cards in every deck that are similar. I've seen a few Queen of Pents that I thought were the Empress at first glance, for example. If you want your Seer to be looking in a mirror, it won't be the same as my Hermit unless you put him/her in a dark room with stone walls, a staircase, desk, chair, journal in the background, and moonlight streaming in the window! (I only posted about a third of my card). Go with whatever moves you! Edited January 29, 2020 by geoxena

I was so-o-oo nervous that people wouldn't like a Hermit who isn't wandering the countryside at night holding a lantern! You have nothing to worry about! I felt that you conveyed the vision so clearly that everyone will get it even without a description. I think so many of us can relate to that side of the archetype.
