Eight of Swords
A woman is tied and blindfolded within a cage of swords. This is the "damned if you do, damned if you don't," card. The Querent is in a situation where they're afraid to move. If they move, they'll get cut. However, the ropes that bind them, the blindfold over their eyes, are their own fears, keeping them still, immobile. And so the longer they stay, the more they constrain and entrap themselves. Ever been in a situation where you're afraid to say anything, so afraid that you second guess yourself, end up saying nothing, tying yourself in knots? But speaking up is going to get you cut to ribbons? That's this card. The Querent must have the strength to endure the cuts, else they'll stay trapped. They must move, for the longer they let the situation continue, the worse it will get.
Okay here is a quick rough of how we can change the Temperance to make it look different that the star one.
i know what you mean rayk, I will put more action to temperance as she should summon and mixing things together, okay this is new star and I make a modification base on our discussion on 3 swords
Yep 3 of swords is better, but I kinda like the more ambiguous heads with glowing mouths that devin had in his version. For me I think having those undefined gave it a certain creepy factor, well up to you - this is nice too.
For the star one, nice - but one thing I think what we should change is that she is holding 2 cups, while she is meant to have two jugs of water - the two cups are just too close to the temperance. That's why initially I had an idea that she carries a stick across her shoulders from which the jugs hang off on both ends. Also I think because of her design we should contrast the other guy and give a more clunky retro steam punk space suit design while she is wearing very nice light clothing.
Well some ideas. These are going well!
the star I can understand, but about the 3 swords, I am approaching something like love triangle, the guy is giving flower to all the sisters and share his love on all of them, at the end 3 sisters know that and feel so angry so they allow the demo controls their bodies to dig up the hear of the guy, is love triangle and desperate the major meaning of the description? But I kind of agree as we have too many ladies in the cards, I will do another variations
Well yeah that's why I said it's fine either way herman. Ladies are always good, never enough of them haha. Also I think with this version I'd add a tiny touch and make all of those girls crying, or at least tears coming out of their eyes to sell the idea that they love him but they get hurt and are in rage. Other wise it could look like a guy is being stabbed by 3 creatures.
some thoughts....
they are crying with black tear lol haha, and they all have 1 rose from him see the flowers in their mouth and the flowers on the groud, it is draft can't put all the details on it
Yeah I know
I figured as much but decided to put the idea out before I forget or just in case.
Good stuff, I approve of their panties too 
base on the previous discussion i made some adjustments on the star and temperance
Much better herman! Yep this is good now they are quite different and are quite interesting - temperance especially good
. The star I feel composition is not balanced too well, but I think it will be more my job to balance it out with an enviroment when I get back.
Good stuff again, I give approval
- can't wait to start on colour!
