Here's my little contribution towards the @bg3-fate-spins-along tarot themed fan event!

I chose to represent the 21st card of the Major Arcana: The World, finding its multiple meanings interesting and very suitable for Astarion, those being and not limited to; assured success, route, change of place, stagnation and permanence.

I used an existing card as a base and mimicked some of its visual elements (the four elements represented in the corners, the typography, and originally, a floral wreath at the center of the image, which I decided to leave out), otherwise playing around with my chosen cards meaning and the whole card thing -- well, by drawing cards! Each of the cards within the card represent a route he could choose to take, some leading to new places and adventures, and some more towards stagnation and inertia.

Overall, I had a lot of fun pondering how to represent the card's meanings, struggling with the layout in the planning phase (and loving the process) and blasting through the lineart, even managing to add in the colors on a timely manner!

My contribution is only one of many, and a lot of very passionate and talented people created their own pieces for the event, so please check them out!

Even though I'm more of a lurker in the fandom, it was really cool to work alongside everyone on a project like this again!
