For Tarot OC contest. Couldn't miss that out, since I love Tarot

I suppose Vondel is not your first choice for 'The Chariot' card, since The Chariot mostly goes as a 'positive' card, but hey - interpretation is always fun I chose the bad guy 'cause in my opinion he's perfect for representing both the 'straight' meaning of the card and the 'turned over' one at the same time.
On one hand, Vondel has just the willpower and determination to always get what he wants, to get to his destination, crushing all obsticles in his path - and for that he has enough power and self-assurance to control and use all the forces and powers he has at hand, even though those powers can be opposite ones. On the other hand, his determination and self-confidence may be his demise, since the moment he becomes too sure of himself, losens just a bit his grip on the surroundings and those he commands - and those contradictory forces (both outside and inside his being) will turn against each other or simply dash into different directions, thus tearing apart both the chariot and the rider.
