Description
Dekita! Here it is. The Fool card in it's finished state...assuming again that I didn't miss anything major. I must admit...I like it. The empty sky turned into this misty thing high in the mountains, and the idea of sticking the air temple in the bg from Karalora worked out spledidly! Cloud got moved...almost got deleted, but I spent so much time on the damn thing and I really like it...so it found a new home. And um...yay!! Here's our fool setting out on his big adventure. it's kinda funny cuz you know...stepping off of a cliff is sort of how Aang would start an adventure...well...if Appa wasn't with him at the time anyway. Hope you like! Comments welcome!! Thanx!Update:
See my journal "You know what sucks?" for details on why this changed, but it did change, and I think I like this version better...maybe?

I really like this. And the whole idea of the whole deck. The colours are really really good. And I can see the tinting on the cloud (which looks REALLY awesome!) His hands are really really good. And I like (of all things) his ears.

it's part of the symbolism of the card. We're making a whole tarot deck...though progress so far has been a bit slow...

You do know that he can just airbend and fly out of there

sweet! i really like the contrast of aang and momo to the temple in the background...also the lighting makes it look surreal...very nice

Man...I don't even want to say how many times I had to go back and fix it until I liked it at last. Now I'm having fun trying to finish "The Magician" whose lighting is about a billion times more complicated than this one....I think I just like to torture myself.

I've had vague ideas of doing an avatar tarot myself, with Aang as the fool (natch). But I think your version is ever so much bettter than anything I could do! *hug*
Momo looks like he's thinking, "Um, Cue-ball? Watch the first step..."

Heheheh ^__^
I've been wanting to do a tarot something for a long while now but I've only recently felt that my "art" is at a level that would even partially allow it. I'm just hoping that I can follow this through to the end.

please tell me Iroh's "The Emporer."

Actually Fire Lord Azulon is The Emporor...Iroh gets Temperance!

Oh... yeah, that works too.

Thanks. I thought so too since there's always a pet or something on this card and Appa a) would be too big, and b) has a card of his own coming up.

i like a lot the coloring on this one and also the concept of the tarot card using Aang, very good work

Much thanks! there're more where this came from. "The Magician" is about 80% done....the last 20% is just giving me a lot of difficulty...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hehehe... i'm sure it will be look great when the last 20% gets finished ^^

Ooh, I like it. I feel happy, because I actually know what you're talking about with the Fool Card. Actually, I read something about the Perfect Fool, but that might be different... ^_^ I like the shading too. It's so colorful!

The... everything is great!
I really love the bg. The skyline looks incredible.
Aang's expression couldn't be better.
The lighting is amazing! The splash of light on his face is great! Momo! i love the position, and his attitute about what's going on, and just... everything.

I live in Japan right now, so I went home for christmas and spent most of my time with friends and family since I don't know when I'll get back to the states again. I'm back in Japan now tho, and hope to have some new stuff to post within the next week or so...operative word being "hope." We'll see...

HAHA! BRILLIANT! Nice. But remember, folks, he's a trained AIRBENDER. So don't try this at home *wink*

too bad...I think it would be awesome to start the day off by stepping off a cliff...hey...isn't there a car commercial that goes something like that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have NO idea. LOL.
If there is, they should put this picture in at the VERY last minute.

Really? THANX! It's totally awesome to get props on something so specific, especially because hands and feet are ridiculously difficult and I'm never quite sure if I've got them good or not

Hahaha. Normally I'd go "OMG! WATCH OUT!" But since he's lighter than air, it's "Oh my...you'll fall."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah...a friend and I were commenting on how since he has his staff, stepping off a cliff would be no problem. He probably does it on a regular basis.

Extremely good coloring...
and its also a great depiction of Aang.

Absolutly beautiul. Let me know if/when you are going to be albe to let me buy this in prints and i'll do it. The lighting effecr is so great!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I suppose I could set up a print for this...if you really want me to, but my friends and I are working on a whole tarot deck and might make the deck available once it's done...but that might take a while...ok that WILL take a while, so just let me know if you really actually want this for real

I can wait for the whole thing, don't worry
