Queen of Swords (take 2)

Water of Air. Far superior, I think, to my previous take. Though I kept the vixen mask and Ashy reference - there's a layer in here called 'chest-mounted torpedos', which makes me giggle.

After the storm passed this morning, and after I played some Space Giraffe, I felt a lot better, and managed to finish this one off. Fatigue is still a looming problem for this project but I think I can manage it. I'll be at the Museum for a couple days again and that'll be a bit of an enforced break, though I'll be in coderspace, not artmind.

It's funny Q of S is my significator, and I think you captured it very well.

I'm at the point where I just can't tell any more! If someone says something like that about every Court, I'll be happy.

This picture feels dynamic and three dimensional. I liked the first one, but it was very flat. Chest mounted torpedos IN 3-D. I'm up way too late... Back to my final project.

The background reminds me of being in the top layer of the San Francisco Columbarium.


Just a thought.

if it helps (probably doesn't), i'm really enjoying this deck, and look forward to being able to acquire one once complete:-)

Actually, it does. Thanks!



Arm zee warheads!! (:snickers)



She can sink my ship whenever she wants OH NO I WENT THERE.

A marked improvement over the previous-- not to say the previous was bad, just this once captures I think the sword mentality so much better. For instance, the Queen of Swords would NEVER use a syringe unless for medicinal purposes. Think She Blinded Me With Science. Even Library Science.

I think it's a better piece, too... maybe because nobody's rushing to get it done for someone's birthday. :)

I wondered if the blue and black books were meant to be evocative of certain cityscapes... I thought that was a bit of a reach, as far as influence goes. The rather formal layout of the piece seems a more likely evocation.

I'm sure the sword's location is of no significance whatsoever.
