The Justice is the card number VIII I think... and the force the card number XI
Amazing Work

It is a pair that is interchanged in certain decks. Sometimes it is this way, sometimes the other way, depending on the progression the artist/author wish for the deck.

Oh, I informed.

In the cards that follow the Rider-Waite influence (especially in English-speaking countries) used the number XI for Justice, while in the Mediterranean, most followers of the Tarot of Marseilles, the number VIII will prevail. Both are considered valid.

Sorry about my ignorance

i like the allusion to the egyption view of justice at death. you can enter heaven if your heart weighs less than a feather.

Mmm, justice was from the beginning pictured as a child with a unicornΒ΄s horn by itΒ΄s side, but I think this one says it better.

i really like the black and white on the wings. it works so well and i wasn't expecting it. same goes for the red color on the white feather. i love your trees. especially when they have fairies gliding all over their bark. you just can't get away from them can you? (not that i would want you to necessarily) the color of the butterflies offsets the tree and the green behind it so nicely. i wasn't expecting to like them in the pic as much as i do. really nice. i'm always amazed at how much better your drawings look when you've applied your skills with watercolor to them.

I have always felt connected to justice ever since I laid my eyes on a marseilles deck many years ago as a kid....This is so beautiful it brings back such exquisite memories you have an imagination of such beauty....I have laways loved Justice that and the heirophant have always been my favourite, this is magnificent I am in love with it.

I'm always wondering where you get all your ideas from. Though your style stays the same there are so many new things in every one of your pictures.
Like this one, or the one where the fairy and the tree are playing chess.
I'm in deep passionate love with them all.

i like this one (although i enjoy the whole series thus far). the lighter colors at the top of the drawing bring attention to the face...

beautiful as always. everytime i see your work my first thought is "how did she do that so fast?" especially when you post the preliminary sketches. my second thought is "how can she make her watercolours so detailed?" it's just amazing. my favourite parts of this piece would have to be the wings and the lil dryads hiding in the bark.
