Description
Here's the second installment of the Disney Tarot deck (I'm only planning on the Major Arcana of course... I'm not superhuman).
Not being very familiar with the Tarot deck, I'm flying by the seat of my pants a little, though Facilier was of course the obvious choice for the Magician, because DUHHH he's a magician. Voodoo guy. Whatever.
Artsy gibberish:
The Magician represents a link between the spiritual and the natural, and while Facilier is rather sinister, he does have friends on the other side. He embodies mystery, power, and shadows - all excellent qualities in a magician.
Artistically, I tried to keep it close to the look of a still from the movie - not too much detail on the actual subject. I tell you, I sure had fun doing his clothes, but it was difficult! He's weirdly bendy. And compared to Ariel, the first in the series, he's very tricky to draw. With mermaids, you just stick on some seashells and a tail and bam, you're done.
My favourite part of this is probably the wallpaper. The skull thing isn't my idea though - they actually do that in the movie.
Next up: The High Priestess.

i liked these cards... of course Ariel is the Fool (she takes a risk to get his dream come true), of course Dr. Facilier is the magician; for me, Megara is not really the high priestess because a high priestess must be an innocent woman, very reflexive, a wise woman (I could possibly think the white witch of oz or the speaking tree of Pocahontas).
My proposals to the rest of arcana are:
3.- The Empress - The Evil Queen from Snow White, Aphrodite
4.- The Emperor - Triton King
5.- The Hierophant - Merlin
6.- The Lovers - Any lovers you could think of but there must be a choice between too people i.e. Rapunzel and Flynn (and of course Gothel Mother... Rapunzel has to choose between Gothel and Flynn), Beauty and the Beast, Β
7.- The Chariot - Someone who rides a Horse I think it could be John Smith or Aladdin upon the magic carpet, Hercules above pegasus too
8.- The Strength - Mulan, the Lion King (roaring), Hercules, Tarzan
9.- The Hermit - Rafiki
10.- The Wheel of Fortune - some kind of monsters around the wheel like the hades monstersΒ
11.- The Justice - Arthur King with his sword of justice
12.- The Hang Man - someone who is suffering and is unable to do something for himself (maybe with incapability) I could think the frog of Tiana, someone who can be chained, or someone who is having pain to get more wisdom or power, someone who makes sacrifices; I think of Hercules when he dives into Hades River
13.- The Death - Hades
14.- The Temperance - The Cricket of Pinoccio, the crab of the Little Mermaid
15.- The Devil - Maleficent, Genie Jafar, Chernabog
16.- The Tower - Rapunzel's Tower
17.- The Star - Elsa of Frozen (there could be a single Ice Frost on the sky suggesting a sky), it can be too someone who is making a wish to a star, Pocahontas could be the star too because she is in contact with nature and respects it
18.- The Moon - Ursula (the moon can represent black magic, confusion, or betrayal, a hidden threat)
19.- The Sun - Zeus
20.- The Judgement - A scene where a villain is defeated
21.- The World - A Happy Ending

This is epic. The only gripe I would have is that there are things that are supposed to be included with the Magician card, the table, the cup and the sword. However, you did do a great job.

Thanks! I'm not really restricting myself to the 'correct' way of depicting the Major Arcana. I researched it and considered it, but I decided that it would look contrived, and my first objective was to simply create a nice piece of art.
However, you might notice that Facilier's stance is similar to that of the 'traditional' Magician... just a small nod to the original.

This is in response to both posts.
Fair enough. It's your artwork, you have a right to do what you want.
AND, the pictures themselves are stunning.

That skull thing is cool, never noticed that in the movie.
Great work! He looks like he could be straight from the movie.
