No deceit here. Exactly as the title says. I'm not done with these though, and have neglected to do them in chronological order.
Follow me on my journey of making these very, very slowly as I get carpal tunnel in my fingers from using my shitty mac trackpad until the gods bless me with a mouse or a drawing tablet~
In chronological order (will add on chronologically as I make these)
Major Arcana:
The Fool is the 1st of the Major Arcana. It represents naïvety, innocence and new beginnings/journey, hence why the fool walks off the cliff because of inexperience. Usually a dog nips at the heels of the fool that represents distractions along The Fool's journey. Replaced with GG's distraction :B in Basement Busk. Gildedguy on his journey, following a special five-star dipper. Where is he going? Who knows...
Gildedguy belongs to Gildedguy
The Lovers in the 6th Major Arcana. This card is pretty self-explanatory. I have separate cards planned for these two but for now this is my humble offering. Made this for my fav power couple Michael and Camila for Valentines day.In which GG challenges Jade to third rematch in Jardin de Rosas (Jardin de Rosas belongs to C3Whiterose) but instead of duking it out first, GG decides to give Jade a private light show.
Gildedguy belongs to Gildedguy
Jade belongs to Camila
The Hanged Man is the 12th Major Arcana that shows a form of punishment bestowed upon traitors some time back. The Hanged Man also means the death of a martyr who sacrifices for the greater good.
This is my response to the banishment of X-treme
Truthfully speaking his banishment was entirely warranted seeing the list of offenses he committed against the Dojo. At the same time, having actually spoken with X, I believe he had non-malicious intentions, even good intentions for the Dojo.
The Tower is the 16th Major Arcana that represents disaster, destruction and liberation in the form of lightning striking a tower that's on fire with people falling from it. None of that here though so I tried to make parallels to the original card concepts.
The Tower has very fitting themes for Duelist Accelerate if you've watched his demo and read his bio.
Accelerate belongs to Andrew_Anims
Suit of Swords:
Not too proud of this one :< cause the more I look at it the more mistakes I find. (I'm sorry Jan senpai, I'll make you something nicer next time)
Ace of Swords usually shows a single sword faced upward with a crown around the tip or lightning. It represents mental clarity, decisiveness and intellect. All traits that our super soldier has.
Based this scene off of Gyro vs Ada
Gyro belongs to Jan
tbh I actually really like Gyro even though he isn't as popular as other RHGs, he's probably one of my favs
Three of Swords means painful separation, heartbreak and grief represented by a heart pierced by three swords. Anyone who's seen Ada vs Zinx would get why I choose this one :>
Been feeling pretty terrible about my art lately, I don't hate this piece but I don't feel satisfied with it either... oh well, I can't improve if I don't keep practicing right?
Niya and RHG Ada belong to Cozen
Unrelated Shenanigans
A gift for a good friend of mine
This is a piece that started as a doodle and became a full fledged drawing because procrastination (this was done on my biology notebook)
I'm actually kinda proud of this one as its a drawing I did with references only for the human part of her body and the sunset, everything else is something I just thought up of doing on the fly.Of course there are major flaws in terms of shading but eh, lets just pretend that there was another light source besides the setting sun.

View Profile Wow I really like some of the work you've got here!
For some of these I think you should definitely stick to a more vector style like you did for GildedGuy and Jade (not in every area, but it was the highest quality imo).
Keep it up :D

I understand that completely lol. That's what I've been going through with my painting in photoshop. What's hard is finding a good style to paint all of the textures in and then have them all blend well. I end up with cartoon like elements mixed with hyper realism and it just doesn't go well lol

Taking the words straight out of my mouth with that statement. I actually just struggled with this in O - The Fool, had to detail nerf my cliff because it ended up looking so off against the simplistic background and GG. It still looks off imo but i can't seem to fix the two detailed rocks??? ah whatever. thanks dude :B
