6 of Pentacles

6 of Pentacles

: shatterstripes; April 13th, 2008

Music:: The Symphonic Jean-Michel Jarre : Magnetic Fields 5 - The Last Rumba

Offerings towards victory. Pride.

The three pentacles on the central figure's chain were originally going to be solid, but inspiration made me make them metal filigree instead. They ended up carrying a connotation of a striptease, which fits some of the layers of meaning to this one in my opinion.

Circular baubles hanging from chains are always a big win in my book. ^_^

Jingly, shiny, and good to flourish. I'd wear it, I think...

mickey mouse with tiny ears. =C

Aside from that tiny quirk, though, this is awesome- I love that she's a lion. =)

Why Jupiter? It feels right, but I'm curious why you picked it.

I halfway noticed the mickey thing somewhere but then brushed it off. Ah well! It's another resonance, I guess.

Jupiter's there for the same reason she's a lion: the astrological correspondence of this card is Leo and Jupiter.

I added a cape to make the lion pop better, and de-mickeyed her chain while I was at it. n.n;

Oh, yeah, that cape makes a big difference!
