Description
This is my entry to 's Tarot card project. Unfortunately I had very little time to do it, but I am happy to enter this into the project.I wanted to do this card because I felt that Zasha fit the bill for it. Here is some info on the actual card. This is also the information I based the card on. Hope it makes sense. Also please bare in mind that Zasha is a Grim Reaper and in my comic Grim Reapers do not signify the end of life but also the entryway to a new beginning, because there is life after death:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The Ace of Wands begins the explosion of energy which runs throughout the Suit of Wands. Here we see massive out-rushing power, high levels of force, the beginning of whatever the Will desires.
When this card appears in a reading it often signifies the beginning of new life - whether as in pregnancy, or to represent the beginning of a whole new phase in life. In order to confirm pregnancy, you need to look for other 'baby' cards like the Princess/Page of Cups, or the Ace or 3 of Cups.
When the card comes up to indicate a new phase in life, there will often be other cards surrounding it which indicate the area that will be most affected by the new force.
This is a good card for healing energies, indicating high levels of vitality and vigor. This effect is much strengthened if the Sun also appears in the reading. It also indicates a period in life where we can forge forward toward our goals, having sufficient stamina and enthusiasm to follow through effectively.
It's worth bearing in mind, though, that this is a very raw energy - potent and powerful, but somewhat reckless and headstrong. Make sure that you don't get carried away with new projects, rushing heedlessly into something you have not considered thoroughly enough.

I just love the surreal concept, plain and simple. It's thought-provoking and very beautiful.

That's just one of the perks in being a grim reaper. You and disappear and appear at will. I find it a lot of fun and have enjoyed creating his character to be so interesting. ^_^

Thanks, it really came out better than I thought it would. I had a lot of fun working on this even when I was stumped with what to do with everything in the end. ^_^

Definitely looks full of vitality if that's what you were going for!
Really fresh looking colours, and very neat effects with the splattersO3O

LOL Thank you. The splatters are brushes that can be found at :iconfallen-brushes:'s gallery if you use Photoshop you should download it and try them out.
But to be honest I was worried that it would not come out. I had the hardest time pulling this together on time and was pleased with the final results. ^_^

Wow, it's absolutely awesome, gorgeous, magnificent (and i'm already out of adjectives... be sure that once i click on the 'send' button some more are going to pop in my head).
Anyway, that was the idea. Nice art, nice color. I'm so fav-ing.

Awwww. It doesn't matter because all the adjectives are so flattering. ^__^ Thank you so much for liking my artwork so much. It really means a lot to me that people are liking the progress that I am making in my art. ^___________^

Uuuuh, I guess you're welcome, even though you really don't need to thank me for liking your art. That's what happens when you draw nice art, and not crappy like mine *hides*.
And, I mean it, it's... breathtaking (aha, another adjective !)

ahhh its REALLY beautiful and I'm so happy you were able to enter. >____< I really want to enter for the cover too haha. >___< But I cant decide if I want to draw something or color something. Do you want to attempt a collab for the cover? Maybe if I ink that one picture I showed you before and you color it XD???

LancerMonna In reply to BananAdopt [2006-12-19 16:29:26 +0000 UTC]
I'm so thrilled that you like Zasha so much. I'm happy as well to have been invited to this project and had a lot of fun coloring this work.
I am still open for a collab of any kind from you. Just send the lineart and I will color it for you no questions asked. You don't have to ask, if there is a lineart you want me to color just send it in a note and I'll be glad to color them for you.
On a side not. I have the lineart bust version of Zasha from this image. If you have time would you like to color him. I've never personally invited anyone to color my linearts before and feel that you would do an awesome job with him. ^______^

your linearts are always beautiful so I would love anything. I like things that have a beautiful dreamlike feel though.

LancerMonna In reply to BananAdopt [2006-12-19 22:19:40 +0000 UTC]
Dreamlike feel, . . . hmmmm. I have an idea on what I be drawing so i will work on it tonight during work. But I will warn you though, usually when I think of dreamlike, I end up drawing things very surrealistically. ^_^ It will be interesting.

Thanks. It really makes me happy that people are liking this work. But the character is from my manga I'm working diligently on. ^___^ This is his new character design and I really like how everything came out.

Awwwww. Thank you. I enjoy coloring this way but I did try a different technique that uses (using a different color to outline the character,) and it really came out nicely. ^____^

Awwwww. Thank you! I'm so trilled you like this. I was having the hardest time trying to make this composition work. But in the end it seems that I was able to pull it off. I will be posting the non-tarot version which this was based off on very soon as a bust in a couple of days.
