Description
Well, I'm embarking on a project to do a whole tarot deck. Probably won't be done for a couple of years because I have to do commissions and paying jobs. If my attention span can handle it, this will be my project to do in between all that stuff.So, that said, here is #0: The Fool
She's a bit different from the standard depiction, but it's still about new beginnings, and embarking into the unknown.
Details here: [link]
And for prints: [link]
Oh yeah, and for anyone interested, here's the pencil sketch that led up to the finished painting: [link]

wow looks like you have already goten alot of coments, but thats not about to stop me...
ive seen a lot of fool cards in my day, ive never seen one depicted like this, almost never female infact usualy a non gendered version and almost always 'grownded' with a clear path like thing to follow.
i love this one all the more for those reasons, awesome way of drawing out the concepts of innocence, new beginings, and takeing the plunge into a new begining. im a bit curios about the explination behind the animal spirits but they seem to fit, awesome job! breathtakingly beautiful

Just as beautiful as the Magician! You're work looks so much like a woman's on the site Shadowscapes.com.

Hehe. That might be because that's my site. Don't worry, you're not the first person to say that. For some reason, people don't seem to associate my deviantart gallery with me.

Wow, your work is Beautiful! I love all your art. I would comment on all of your peices, but I'd end up repeating myself. Amazing job! And yeah, that Tarot deck, that could take a while. I hope you have incredible willpower and a loooonngg attention span; I know I could never do it.

thats gorgeous, she looks like a pure version of Delirium from Neil Gaimans Sandman novels...the Delight of the Fool perhaps. Gosh if your paintings were made into a real Tarot deck I would buy a set for sure.
Cant wait to see the rest of the deck

Mmm... Well, I love your paintings, but tarot's really REALLY important matter with cards is that each symbol represented in it has a specific definition thus, a reason to be portrayed in it...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm aware of that. But Symbols are representative of a Meaning, and there are more than a single way to depict any Meaning. Symbols in and of themselves are nothing. It's what they represent that's important.

I would buy that tarot deck anyday.
Beautiful, as always.

wow thats amazing! The whole tarot card idea would be sooooo cool! I'll be waiting to see the rest you do.
I had always wanted to do that but I have the attention span of a mouse or somethin' 
I love the colored version a lot, it must have taken forever! ^_^

Goregous concept...the detail is just breathtaking. It's simply flawless...you should definitely continue this tarot card project...you have a lot of talent.

Great finished piece. It is lovely, though very much like most of your other work. I have seen a few of your pieces that stand out above the rest. I don't know if it is a personal aspect in them that I connect with, or a step further to perfection on your part, but this is lacking whatever it is, for me anyway. I still love the picture, the details and the colors. It will make a wonderful tarot card, and deck (along with the others). *waits patience for the other cards*

That is really really good. I mean really, that's awesome stuff. You can tell it's the fool too, because i have a tarot deck and it looks similar to that but not as cool. *There's a fox in it too! Yay!*

Hello! The fool symbolizes new beginnings, new opportunities, unlimited possibilities, pleasure, passion, thoughtlessness, rashness. Usually it's depicted as a youth about to walk over a cliff's edge with a dog following him along.
