    Tarot Card Bi-Weekly Challenge #3 - The Star - WIPS

    For those of you who don't know about this, we are going to have a bi-weekly challenge to depict a tarot card from the Major Arcana. This will last approximately a year. At the end of the year we will have the full Major Arcana. Two wips and a final are required for entry.

    The only real stipulation is that The final image must be in the form of a card, not just a painting
    I will give you a brief meaning, but it's probably a good idea to do your own research as there are much richer and indepth meanings to the cards.

    card #3 one of my favourites

    The Star (L'Etoile)
    The Daughter of the Firmament;

    The Dweller Between the Waters

    Card Number: 17
    Key Number: 28
    Rulership: Aquarius
    Hebrew Letter: Tzaddi
    Translation: fish Hook
    Numerical Value: 12

    Fresh hope and renewal.  Healing of old wounds.  Hope. renewal of faith and hope.  Spiritual love.  A mental and physical broadening of horizons. Promise and fulfillment.  inspiration.  Influence over others.  Vigour and confidence.  Protection.

    (meaning (c) www.paranormalilty.com)

    post your WIPS in here

    Finals in the Final thread


    This challenge ends Friday 13th January - we will then vote for the winning card, and then on to the next one!

    got to take a look at my aunt's decks for inspiration after the vote for the hanged went up - that water to crystal thing comes from a mention in crowley's deck, and she'll be wearing the firmament as her gown

    also touched up the hanged man (liking this version much better with a clearer tree trunk) and did a rough for the cards' back illustration; still in the first wip stages...will finish that one up in between challenges
