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, with the card name and number, not just a painting
I will give you a brief meaning, but it's probably a good idea to do your own research.

The ruler of the Flux & Reflux; The Child of the Sons of the Mighty

Card Number: 18
Key Number: 29

Really not feeling well, my head feels like it's going to explode. But I'm happy with how far I've got with this, so I'm posting it and then I'm going off to hide in the dark.

wip 1 - wip 2

took me a while to get the hang of it, but I'm happy with the result

Sorry ran out of time to figure out how to link the WIP's.

I better explain the idea too.

The puppet is a representation of the viewer, the strings are a representation of unseen forces influencing our lives.

We're out in the open night apprehensive and fearful, the moon is bright and illuminating, that which we fear is within us.

The visual pun is - a reflection upon our animal natures. 

Both entries are impressive and well finished cards, now for my vote 

a_curious_twitch gets it.

I really liked your idea, animal above the collar civilized beneath it, a juxtaposition. If anything the idea could have been pushed a bit by giving the wolf head some animal expression such as snarling or howling bringing home the conflict between our animal and civilized natures but as it stands it's pretty good.

Technically very well finished but the idea is quite simple, I think you were aware of this and that's the problem. By trying to add stuff you metamorphosed The Moon into a sort of alien creature deity which doesn't have a particularly strong lunar feeling about it.

guess I'll cast my vote too, even if the "official" poll starting post hasn't been posted yet

1 - a_curious_twitch

2 - concsious bob

I like how you guys both depicted the wolf as a reflection of the self, yet in two different and interesting ways with the moonlit watery reflection and the wolf in a suit character

apologies for the delay!

A_curious_Twitch - 6

Conscious Bob - 2

Heimdayel - 2

Congratulations A_C_T!!

i'll get the next one up soon

Congrats.
