Description
For this drawing I decided to go for a different kind for style. More sketchy and granular.While also trying to copy the feeling, looks and composition of certain tarot cards.
In the end, it feels like all of it fell a bit flat, but here it is anyway.
======== More Random Tora World Lore ======
"The 4 th card in the Jor card set depicts the story of an androgynous figure who has made a pact with a malevolent entity, while its black tentacles seem to drag it down.
Like all cards in the set, it depicts a certain point in a persons life, but what is more interesting is that it seemingly depicts an external entity, and trough all the tales, knockoffs and provided effect insinuates that this is an an actual entity that had affected the person.
Although what malevolent entity, the true answers has been lost. There are a bunch of different theories, Erginald Herethway in their book "The Hidden Gods" theorize that the entity pulling the person down, is one of the sleeping gods. While famed researcher მხიარული შუქი, believes might be one of the denizens of the deep ocean, specifically citing an aboleth type like creature, that might have existed back then. They base the theory from the fact that some of the older copies, depict the person being underwater surfacing for air, but being prevented from attaing that goal from the lack of feet. These are only a few of the many theories, as in just like the 9 th card, the card has way too many variants and lost stories to have a straight truth.
With it the fact of what kindoff creature it the person used to be has been lost. In the current year the most prevailing depiction is a human like humanoid, with giant feathers/antennae/ears on their head. But the fact that the person, has these aspects, means that over time the person lost their race uniqueness and was humanized over the the years, exactly like with card 5 th, until the card had finally been found and the truth uncovered.
Although its depiction is clouded with mysteries and uncertainties its effects are not. The card holds a unique ability to reveal the hidden dangers. Giving insight on people that have malevolent intentions, dangers in the immediate area, preventing the ability to lie to everything in the vicinity.
Additionally, this card may holds power to offer protection against the malevolent forces and entities that seek to manipulate or harm the user. By invoking the power of the card, the user may be able to ward off negative energies and prevent any unwanted entities from entering their life.
In divinations, the story of the card has seems to stay the same. The black tentacles that hold the figure back from their goal are representative of the malevolent entity that promised great power and knowledge in exchange for servitude, ultimately stripping the figure of their freedom and ability to walk away from the deal. This serves as a warning against the dangers of making deals with malevolent forces or any bid decisions as there may be drastic lasting consequences."
