MS-The Dragon's CrownThe Dragon's Crown

Upon his return to the spotlight in Maple, Phantom had steered entirely clear of the other heroes. He knew they were about, of course, but saw no need to get so intimately involved with them again. Steering clear of Aran and Mercedes was in his mind the best course of action in the current time. But Phantom was a bit hampered by stinging curiosity. And it immediately bit at him when he heard the heroes appearing on some strange event being broadcast across all the radio channels. Some sort of coronation, given by the Empress, to recognize the returning heroes.
All three of them.
Well, so to speak, it was only two. Me

MS-Phantom's Tarot Heroesby *Dolphin-Fly

Fan Art / Manga & Anime / Digital / Games

ONCE UPON A TIME, I SAW PHANTOM USING TAROT CARDS AND WAS LIKE "THAT'S COOL, I SHOULD DRAW THOSE CARDS OUT." However, it came to my attention that I did not particularly like the CLAMP-esque style used on the card in the trailer with Freud and Phantom. They didn't look very...tarot like to me. So I switched it up and modified my own style slightly.

Here I also tried to instill the classic tarot imagery, such as The Hermit with a lamp and The Hierophant with a staff and hand in a specific position (I think it has some religious significance or something). Some of them, like Mercedes, were a little harder--I could only do the tiara, because she has no in game (or out of game) equal of a scepter. :I

1. Aran--The Star

Upright: Hope, faith, inspiration, optimism, insight, spiritual love, pleasure, balance
Reverse: Unfulfilled hopes, disappointment, dreams are crushed, bad luck, imbalance

2. Evan--The Hierophant (for the record, this one is fucking perfect for him)

Upright: Mercy, kindness, forgiveness, compassion, conformity, a sense of historical importance, inspiration
Reverse: Foolish generosity, errors are repeated, vulnerability, frailty, unorthodoxy

3. Phantom--The Hermit

Upright: Counsel, inner strength, prudence, caution, vigilance, patience, withdrawal, a loner
Reverse: Imprudence, hastiness, rashness, foolish acts, immaturity

4. Freud--The Chariot

Upright: Perseverance, a journey, a rushed decision, adversity, turmoil
Reverse: Defeat, failure, last minute loss, vanquishment

5. Mercedes--The Empress (such ORIGINALITY I have)

Upright: Action, development, accomplishment, mother/sister/wife, evolution
Reverse: Vacillation, inaction, lack on concentration, indecision, anxiety, infidelity

Tarot cards are kind of not intended to be bright and cheery crap. But I digress, the borders didn't come out too well anyways.

eh I GOT INTO TAROT CARDS ALL BECAUSE OF PHANTOM OTL
AND I WAS THINKING it might be better if you used thinner lines, or maybe a lighter colour. coz the lines seem to be standing out too much :c

*Dolphin-Fly Dec 25, 2011 Student Artist

WOW THAT WAS REALLY QUICK
I would have used thinner lines, but it's pretty much impossible to make solid lines with thin lines (shaky hands). Plus, if I used thinner lines, I might as well have vectored them--and I don't know how to vector. Granted, I would have LIKED it to be ONLY the colors but the technique is still beyond me. Since I didn't know how to do that, I went an alternative route.
