Tagged by @lostinthewoodsomewhere to post the last paragraph I wrote, thank you for the tag

Was working on some OC stuff last night and have a good classic one-line paragraph:

“That’s not necessary,” Sadie said, but he’d already headed off to the kitchen.

Found somewhere peaceful looking in Tears of the Kingdom, tried to paint it, didn't like it, failed to draw anything else, then went back in and put in a few lines to make it look neater.

I’ve been slowly working on illustrating my own Tarot deck about black cats.

I have a long way to go, but I’m nearly done with the major arcana.

Here are some of my favorites:

I set myself a design challenge (as I often do). I wanted to limit the color palette and the brush styles to create a very consistent look.

And since each card focuses on black cats, it forces me to think deeply about symbolism and design to make sure the meaning of each card is clear and each design is unique.

But there’s still a lot of variety coming through. It’s not all class, or all silliness - just like cats

I have a forearm tattoo of the cats in this one ☝️

I’m so happy with how both of these two managed to feel dark, but adorable at the same time.

And then there’s this one absolute diva:

Most of these used my own feline friends for reference.

There are more but I don’t know yet how many I want to share online. If I can actually complete the entire deck I would love to have it made. But I have a ways to go, so for now I continue to chip away, one card at a time.

Same slickrock formation near Hop Valley, different views. Dry gouache is so convenient but wet gouache looks soooo much better (imo) haha
