Making myself emotional (in a good way) looking through my Journeys 2018 and Tyrian Tarot books. Gorgeous artwork in both of these 💕 both projects by @gw2collective // @alchemyartgroup

I just realized I never posted these! These are the two pieces I contributed to Tyrian Tarot by @gw2collective. Being part of this project was such an overwhelmingly positive experience!

In 2018 I was part of the Tyrian Tarot project! This is the Major Arcana ranger pets sticker sheet art I made for one of the extras. :) The art changed a little from this (had to simplify the linework) when we decided to add gold foiled details but I’m still very fond of this linework. The final gold foiled stickers look really amazing! I bought myself a couple extra sets from the campaign cause I thought they turned out so cool haha. Felt a bit weird buying my own art tbh but it was for charity!

Jackal - Wild Card XII is one of my two cards I did for the @gw2collective Tyrian Tarot. I have enjoyed beeing part of such an amazing project,  working with so many kind and talented artists!

Hey guys - Since this has become a hot topic in the last few hours since we posted it on Twitter (and I've gotten a lot of messages about it on all platforms), these are the cards that ripped off our original backs from Tyrian Tarot. Do note that they never bothered removing the watermark before putting it through a filter. There were 5 total decks we counted featuring the design in one version or another. Unfortunately, this US-based artist has already been selling these for some time, but we've filed takedown notices for all the remaining decks, along with contacted the Youtube reviewers that have shown those decks featuring the badly mangled art. Hopefully these never get shown again. It’s wrong and we’ll NEVER endorse, support or actively let it go. I might not be able to respond to all of you if you reach out, but please always do email, DM or message me if you see this kind of thing. It is NEVER okay, and the times I give permission to use our content is slim to none, and it is NEVER with the rights to modification. This as a whole is art theft and incredibly insulting for both our team and the artist to painted the backs (who owns the Collective with me). I've filed takedown notices before for a thing here and there, but this? This is truly disrespectful to a different degree. I'm honestly still shocked and stunned that I'm even looking at this. I'm ashamed to even share the title "artist" with someone who would want to do that. That all said, we're trying to get it handled. Thank you all for the concern (and anyone who has tried to help). We really do appreciate you supporting us.

Tyrian Tarot illustration 3/3 - 2 of Cups

We?! There’s no “we”, twiggy. I’m not interested in a waterlogged Ash deserter.

While last to show, this is actually the first card I had (and the one I spent an eternity bugging the moderation team about - bless their patience, really). When I said Almorra and Kalla are not my most favourite charr in the game, these two are actually who steal their spotlight.

2 of Cups - Uniting the opposites, partnership, cooperation

AKA “More lovers than Lovers”. Brought together by pure chance, they first met testing (and arguing about use of) Iron Legion ghostbore weaponry (which Galina won. Sorry, Snarl, mate, but a giant doomcanon is just better). After that, they were brought together at the siege of Clarent hill, where Snarl went in over his head and got captured attempting to murder the Flame legion leader personally instead of waiting for a prolonged siege to gain results. He then successfully persuades Galina to take the fight to the Risen at Claw Island and beyond, entering the services of the Vigil (point for you, Snarl, but minus one point for getting captured, you dunce). Together in the services of the Vigil (and somehow still not killing each other), they fought in the Estate of Decay, betting whether Galina can or can’t take out a chicken in one shot (while it was Risen, so it’s not exactly fair, Snarl technically won the ten gold). Then beyond, to reclaim the source of Orr, kill Zhaitan and celebrate.

And through all this, they found respect and admiration towards one another, Galina being the “epitome of evisceration” in Snarl’s eyes, one he sneakily keeps protected from the shadows in case she gets overwhelmed, and Snarl becoming the loyal, smart and brave “true charr of the Khan-Ur” fighting at her side for Galina. This union of a giant ferocious Blood Legion warrior and snarky LA-raised Ash Legion thief is one to last.

I love these two, their constant bets, good-natured quarreling, Galina’s cheesy Iron Legion jokes and cheeky ghost taunting, the undead chicken shooting contests and hidden respect for one another. Personal story sadly abandoned them after Zhaitan campaign, with only a throwaway mention that they’re alive somewhere in Maguuma after the crash of the Pact. That does give me a lot of leeway to tell my own stories, on the other hand...

Tyrian Tarot was organized by @gw2collective.

One of my pieces for the Tyrian Tarot project was Toymaker Tixx (Nine of Cups card). It was a ton of fun working along with so many talented artists. The @gw2collective is just an awesome bunch. With this I would like to wish everyone a Merry Wintersday and also Happy New Year!
