Description
Continuing Tarot Card serie."06: The Lovers"
The name speaks for itself. There are various depictions of lovers - kissing, huging, with amours flying around... But all that is kind of very clichΓ© and becoming boring, don't you agree?
Union ----- Passion ----- Sexuality
That's what Lovers is all about.
At first I really wanted to make this card look alike to old japanese erotic prints of Edo period. That was mainly because I just loved the poses in those.
Later I got really inspired by ~bluefooted 's interpretation of Tarot's Lovers - underwater love, just amazing.
It kinda makes sence, when you're in love, you are like floating, in a vast deep blue essence of dreams and warm feelings.
Enjoy!

as a serious artist one always looks for detail, clarity and subtle tones
all the best

yeah, thank you
I agree sometimes it doesn't even look like markers
I guess letraset didn't even knew or thought that their marker can be used like that
...but sometimes I meet people who say that I use markers in wrong way... f.e in one marker group-club I can never go upper than novice-intermediate level because this type of usage is not considered anything near "advanced"
well, anyway... it doesn't bother me, cause I got a lot of fans and admirers like you

Haha yeah, I've also been told I'm intermediate or whatever in certain groups when I use certain techniques that aren't boring anime smooth. It's annoying, but I realized I care more about doing my art than their opinions, hahaha. I love to see people think outside the box with their tools!

I find it amazing how I can see both influences in the tarot card~ still so amazing~~

hehehe
well yeah, sometime influences are like an oxygen for new creations
and the final product is always made something new out of something so familiar and old.

This is beautiful! I love how they are in opposite positions but still touching. The anatomy is really good and I love the colors you chose. Great work! :]
