Tarot Card: XI. Strength

There ya go.  Done!

Symbolism:
- The card either depicts a strong male or female character (olders cards were usually female)
- It is a card of the sun
- The card is represented by Leo (the lion)
- It often depicts a woman with a calm, controlled look on her face standing beside a lion who is ready but clearly under the command of the woman.
- Often contains flowers to show balance (strength of the lion and woman vs. the elegance of the flowers)
- Also considered the card of lust
- Original designs depicted inner strngth instead of outer strength, hence the more slight figure of a woman instead of the more robust male character

Image Making Sketchbook 1

Alright, for Image making we have to draw a set of 100 drawings for a sketchbook.  The drawings are based off a list with 100 words and sentences which are to be the topics of each individual drawing.  Here are the first two: 1. Introduction and 2. Love.  I am allotting myself fifteen minutes for each.

More Sketches.

So I'm pretty pissed... I had a really good sketch about a woman in a fur coat drinking whiskey, and the file got corrupted!  That's so freaking lame!  Blah...  Sorry about the color one: I made the mistake of starting color on a white surface.

EDIT: I fixed the file on that last sketch!

11. Strength

Alright, my current assignment is to recreate a tarrot card for my image making class.  I drew number 11, Strength.

Here is my finished 'mug shot' (I know, it's not really a mug shot, so to say, but it works!).

Image Making Sketches p. 2

Alright, here are a few more five minute sketches.  Sorry if the one of the woman is kind of dark...

Image Making Sketches

Alright, at the beginning of every class session, my Image Making teacher gives us a verbal representation of two images.  We then have five minutes each to draw out what we gathered.

Here's what I'm working on now.  Yay for Image Making class!

Anatomy! Page Four

Well, this is page four from my anatomy sketch book.  I'll upload various other ones if I feel that they are good enough as I complete them.

I HAVE BEEN WORKING

I swear it!  Just that I really shouldn't be posting concept work for other people's video games... They might not be happy about it.  At least, that is, not until after the game is finished.  Am I right?  So here's a piece that I recently finished for a contest on Deviant Art.  Hope you like!
