Description Version with border:Β sta.sh/0jzowdq2cvm
Personally I like it better without the border so that's how I'm posting it

My card was The Star
It represents renewal and hope, recovery and peace is up ahead!
Look to the future, and let your star guide you (wow so positive ^^)

Most cards featuring The Star have a lady pouring 2 jugs of water, one into a pool of water and another onto the land
This is depicted through the girl's hair
One side is blue, while the other is green with leaves
The water being poured are the 2 ponytails
[P.S. The constellation around the sprout is Aquarius, the card's ruling sign]

Although I wanted to simplify the coloring, it still took such a long time!!
I'm glad I actually finished on time...

Thanks! I'm not really good at picking colors, and my drawings usually end up really desaturated, so I've been trying to use brighter colorsΒ 
I think it also helps make everything more positive
I feel like the border was too rushed, and covers up a lot of details
That's why I don't like it, but I'm glad other people do!

Thanks!
Although the idea came pretty easily, execution was difficult
But I'm happy with how it turned out

I really like all the colors and the fuzzy feeling i get in my eyes when i look at the character you starred in this design!

Thanks! Although usually tarot cards are more desaturated, part of me REALLY wanted to use more bright colors, since the card is so positive
Also I love stars! They make everything look so magical-ish

the border is so pretty!!!! the ripple looks really nice, the stars at the top are especially pretty, and the way the pupils are colored makes it contrast and stand out in the water which looks really cool~ the concept is really nice also, i like that you incorporated a bunch of different details about the tarot card into the design. the way the ponytails are colored looks really pretty also!!!!

Thanks!
The border was such a pain to do, it was very last minute
The ripple took a few attempts so I'm glad it turned out okay
I think my favorite part are the pupils!Β 
The ponytails were hard and took a few tries to get right

The right arm (arm on the left in the picture) is reaching forward, so most of it is covered by the hand and the water ripple
She has really long sleeves, so you're probably confusing her arms with her shirt

Thanks!
The water was probably the most difficult partΒ 
There were several attempts needed to get it right
I wanted it to be like looking back and seeing yourself grow and heal

This is so beautiful! I like what you did with the reflection and the water, it's very pretty

Thanks! The water and reflection took the longest time to get right
A lot of trial and error
So I'm glad you like it!
