Description - FULL VIEW PLEASE -

Finally done tarot card!!! @[]@!!!
Tarot card "Think of The Children" project for

Meaning of "The Five of Cups"
The Five of Cups represents regret over past actions or over a loss in the relationship. The seeker has suffered a loss or disappointment and is grieving. As with every loss, this initiates a change.

This card is about disappointment, regret and loss. There may be some obsession over past wrongs. It's time to put that behind and move forward. Concentrate on what you have, not what you lost.

An empty marriage or romance. Unfair treatment from others Being let down. Unfulfilled hopes and dreams.

From : [link]

Even though it's The Five of Cups, no need to put cups in the card, since Jieyi needs artists present only the meaning.

First, why the character is underwater? XD
I searched more meaning of the card through google and found one site saying "Cups" is water element (and I saw the original pic of card also has the river.) I want strange image so I designed it "underwater" but yeah, you see it has no bubble or why there is tears XD haha. I don't have explanation for this ... It's fantasy and little abstract I guess?

There are sunken ships on the background (if you can't tell what it is .. sorry for my aweful skill painting ships TAT), skull, and woman ghost. I presents about "what the character done in the past" and now he regrets about what he had done. I can't explain it all why, but only need to present "What he done" ;;; *shot* Woman ghost was his lover in my thought (loss in relationship).

I haven't done so detailed pic like this for long time @___@" Thank you Jieyi about inviting me to wonderful project.

Do you know this really reminds me of style- except neater and more oil paintery *in a good way of course!*
I like the ghostly outilne of the woman, because it reminds me of an underwater current, you know the way that the water ripples with that blue colour when you get different temperatures combining?
I'm not sure that was the point but that's what it reminded me of anyway.
Also- it's a bit annoying that you just leave me hanging there with that explanation- hooo he shot his lover- or *goes into a crazy plot line* maybe he was half Kappa or something, and he had a half brother that was fully human, and he had a wife whom *your guy* was in love with- but it was a forbidden love, and the brother found out and...Ummm say that love between half breeds and humans is forbidden so the brother killed his wife in a fit of rage and anguish. And then then he *your guy* shot his brother, but was so consumed in grief that he banished himself to the bottom of the ocean, clutching his brother's skull and when the moon is full he still see's the ghost of the woman that he loves because she is trapped in limbo punished by the gods for conducting an illicit love affair with a half breed.
And the ships are there because this is the graveyard where souls, lost at see are taken too.
Ummm, sorry if that made no sense, but that's what the picture made me think- *will take her ramblingness somewhere else*
Ahhh- and I forgot to say, I love the way you did the hair!

lol. I think you're too serious I just explained the feeling of picture, that's all.

Really? but I think Egosun's style is way too far better than me -_-

EternityDreams In reply to raykit [2006-08-20 15:26:18 +0000 UTC]

Oh no the mood came across fine- it's just I see a picture and there must be a story behind it for me.
Sorry! Gomen if that totally put you off! Egosun is amazing- but the picture really reminded me of how she draws stuff like that- it's the face shape and the hair. Kinda means you're getting there don't you think?

And i really like the colors.

About the underwater effect, no bubbles and tears ; it's ok because it seems like he's in an 'other world'. ^^ That's fantasy, no problem with it. ^^

Meeku [2006-06-18 02:04:29 +0000 UTC]

Gorgeous! It really looks like the character's underwater; I love the way you've suspended his hair and the noise accents throughout the image. The character's pale skin and the golden accents on his outfit add nice contrast to the blue tones, and there is a lot of emotion in the expressions of both characters. Nice Job!
