Description Death


Upright: ending, transformation, unexpected loss, transition, new beginning
Reversed: immobility, reluctance to change, stagnation, inevitability


The card Death symbolizes a sudden, dramatic change. As Kapaychan already mentioned, transformation to Ghostfreak is one of the most shocking scenes in Ben 10 series. Ben states that he was always creeped out when he goes Ghostfreak. In original series, 10-year-old Ben turns into a hideous skeleton during the changing process. The transformation sequence shown in the episode "Ghost Town" is even more disturbing; Ben's spine gets bent, sharp spikes grow on his back, and his head twists upside down.

At first, Ghostfreak was considered as one of the weakest aliens in the Omnitrix. Although his ability to pass through solid objects and make himself invisible was helpful, Ben couldn't efficiently use him for combat. So Ben and we thought Ghostfreak was just a scary-looking alien. However, in the episode Ghostfreaked out, he rips his skin off and reveals his true horrible form. He also has shown several powerful abilities that we didn't know, such as gaining control of others and telekinesis. Now Ghostfreak is not a weak alien anymore; He dramatically transformed into one of the most dangerous villains.

This card indicates that a major phase in your life will be over.
This could be the end of a way of life, a relationship, a job, or anything else.
But relax! Death also means rebirth. So don't be afraid. Get ready to embrace new possibilities.

The Scare was one of the best villains in the entire universe of the ben 10 shows, he was dramatic, calculating, and the void of all care and mercy. And this picture shows all of that.

God, I love these tarot cards!
Love the extra descriptions at the artist's comments and the designs are always amazing! (thanks for the extra effort)
Also your way of actually connecting the aliens to things related to mystical belief always seems like awesomely clever ideas that always baffles me. (since aliens are more of a si-fi category XD)
Again, love it!

YEAH!!

I liked the adding of BenΒ΄s hideous transformations.

Interesting that both Ben and Kevin had the same feelings towards Ghostfreak. In Save the Last Dance, he said that he never had liked him. I always found that funny because in the original serie Ben never used Ghostfreak against Kevin. In Framed, however, when Gwen researched for KevinΒ΄s criminal activities as BenΒ΄s aliens, she mentioned Ghostfreak. So he probably meant that he had hated to turn Ghostfreak, too.

Maybe Kevin could sense Ghostfreak's mind as well. Ghostfreak mentioned that his mind was imbedded in the DNA sample. Good thing is that Kevin was not possessed by Ghostfreak. It's possible that Ghostfreak would try to take over Kevin's body if he didn't turned into a mutant.

Agreeed. Probably Ghostfreak couldnΒ΄t take Kevin because the boyΒ΄s mind was possessed by energy-insanity. I bet that must have disturbed the monster.

But probably Kevin turned Ghostfreak once, twice, when much. Like Ben, he preferred the aliens more powerful (apparently), like Diamondhead and Heatblast.

Wonderful, my dear. By the way, did you know that today is the 3-year anniversary of the first time Ben used Alien X?

This is another one of my favorite in the Tarot series, I have to say. The generally gray design of it makes it look so creepy, dark and devoid of life. Those black rough lines in the background in particular reminds of me decay, which is very death-like and appropriate. Ghostfreak is such a perfect choice for Death, with the meaning of "transformation" reflecting the kind of creepy, disturbing way Ben changes when he takes on Ghostfreak's form. I remember that transformation sequence where his head just twists 180 degrees in "Ghost Town" and it's just so gross looking at it. Probably the most disconcerting of Ben's transformations. I'm so curious about how you'll describe the reasoning behind the choice, but I'm sure it'll be even better than the way I look at it and make it an even more perfect choice!

Great job on this picture! I can't wait to see the rest of the Tarot pieces.

Oh, thank you. Thank you so much At first, I chose Ghostfreak for Death just because of his appearance. But thanks to Silverlady7, I found something in common between him and the meaning of the card. Your comment was really helpful to complete the text for this one, too. I didn't think of that. And I'm so glad this is one of your favs. Again, I really thank you.

You're welcome!

Wow, thanks for crediting me in your artist's comments too by the way! Made me blush when I saw it when I looked at this picture again to find out about your description! I'm so glad to help even in a little way.
