Fire of Air.

That's my hand there, thanks to the miracle of digital cameras. My original rough wasn't working for the hand, and drawing over it was going nowhere, so after a couple of tries I said "fuck it" and went into the bathroom with the camera to take some photo ref. Every now and then I do this, mostly for really foreshortened hand poses like this.

I'm only a little behind schedule now. And yesterday I did most of the figurative work on the High Priestess; I just have to draw a couple hands that I was lazy on in the rough, and decide what to do for her background. So I'm not doing too bad, despite (a) continued bits of work at the Museum of Science and (b) playing the occasional long session of Space Giraffe. (I made it to level 48 today, starting from level 1. The third and fourth bonus rounds had me laughing in amazement at how pretty they were, and cursing Minter because all the swirly feedback pretty makes it damn hard.)

I need to post this to FA and DA once they come back up; they're both down right now.

I can't tell if the bird is flying up or falling out of the sky...

Looks to me like the bird has a rider, if that helps you any.

Hand reads well, the magentas are great. ^^

Hot damn, that's like a fierce take on Van Gogh's The Sower Love it!

Foolish one! Don't you know that when cards is the matter, you should *never* show your hand!?!

Now I want to see the rest of the comic. That's what this looks like, you know; an advertisement for cool comic coming out next month.

Swashbuckling for the win!

OK, yeah, this only improved even further as you worked on it. These were one of your best ideas for the deck so far, out of many...
