Faux tarot card of Big Blue (The Sword) inspired by the Dragon Age: Inquisition character and lore cards.
I was going to be far more detailed with it, scratchy, but the raw intensity of her being simply demanded a more fluid approach and the direction took a complete 180. I rather like how it turned out as it captures her personality better than I could have hoped. It's pretty badly rushed, but in its own way I really like it? I might do more for my other dream dragon aspects (Dreamer would be FUN to make as faux tarot card).

This is lovely! I adore the stylized interpretation of the character, the colors are well chosen as well. Lovely, lovely.

I was curious to see what medium you created in (thinking it was a traditional work) only to find out it was digital! Kudos for being able to pull off the textures and strokes so well.
I would absolutely love to see you make more of these. Actually, if you really enjoyed making these, to sell them as a whole tarot card set would be pretty cool.

Hmm! A tarot card set you say? That would be pretty awesome, I'd have to do research into that as I know next to nothing about tarot cards/reading. :0
Thanks for the interest and idea!

No problemo! I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

I was almost convinced it was done in acrylic, then I took a second look, and boy was I surprised. Really charismatic work, I like it.
Btw, what kind of character did you make for Inquisition?

Thank you very much! I'm really happy with how the traditional effect came out, it was tricky to pull off. :v
As for what I made in DAI.. I have a female human Warrior/Templar and a female Tal-Vashoth Rogue/Assassin. c:

Oh that design is just awesome! I been wanting to try going at one, but so many failures lol. I thought it was traditional art at first before reading the tags.

Thank you very much! This kind of counts as a 'failure' of sorts since it took a completely opposite route that I had originally intended, but some failings can become winners, like how this turned out. Don't give up!

Her face reminds me of a white shark. The shape at least...especially the nose region. I kike the affects too.

And thank you!

Wow this looks absolutely stunning and beautiful, you totally captured the Inquistion cards look/feel. Love the colors and the textures, i looks like its done with paint, all those brush stokes. Beautiful

Thank you! I'm happy with the turn out though I deviated from the overall 'method' if you will that the DA:I card artwork utilized. If I make another one I'll try a few things differently. c:

Looks neat!
Sometime you need to do Big Blue next to something for size reference.

The two dreams that I've had which she ultimately debuted in had her at varying sizes -- the last dream she was in she was ENORMOUS, bigger than the first dream I had that featured her. I guess that's a dream aspect for you. D:

Maybe you were just *that* annoyed at being bullied in your own dream.

Are you still taking commissions for these? I want to try and save up for one ouo
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, I've never taken these as commissions. In fact, this is the first time I've ever made a faux tarot card (as messy and hurried as it is)! But thank you for the interest, I might look into it offering these
