I. MAGICIAN

Upright: Willpower, Desire, Creation, Manifestation

Reversed: Trickery, Illusions, Out of touch

My Magician card for the @aftgtarotzine.

I wish I can say I chose Matt (and Neil) for a deep reason with this card, but honestly, I just noticed no one else was giving Matt his own card so… And Neil just cause Matt looked awkward on his own, so its now “The Roommate” card as far as my file naming was concerned. :D

Ultimately worked out though ‘cause I feel Matt does symbolize willpower and balance of the Magician card; having overcome his past and creating a better future for himself (while still not ignoring the bad; “as above, so below”). And then Neil at the bottom, obviously matches the reverse meaning, especially at the beginning of the series, when he’s Matt’s roommate.

Card symbolism wise, I tried to keep it the same, but I changed the card suits to match the series; so Coins, Cups, Swords, and Wands became Logos, Keys, Knives, and Raquets. (also hidden card number on Neil’s jersey).

This was such a great project to work on and I highly recommend you check out the rest of the zine! You can get it HERE!(if its still available, sorry this took me so long to post =__=“) Otherwise they have a lot of other peoples’ amazing cards on the tumblr, so again check them out! Its a fantastic zine!

XIII. DEATH

Upright: End of cycle, New Beginnings, Change, Metamorphosis

Reversed: Fear of change, Stagnation, Holding on

My Death card for the @aftgtarotzine. I chose Jean and Kevin because I think both of them just embody the meaning of the card; changing, but also the resistance to change. Plus the symbolism of the setting/rising sun and the crowns and racquets scythe just seemed really appropriate for these two as well.

Also, I added the Kevin side up because, again, the meaning can work in reverse, but also because I just really like how both orientations turned out and I couldn’t decide which to post.

I can go on and on about this one because it’s probably my favourite thing I’ve drawn all year, but I’ll just leave it at that.
