Kloktober 2021 Day 17: inspired by a tarot card
Sometimes I think about making a full deck, but this is what I have for now
most of the cards were chosen for their aesthetic rather than for any character reason, but i included some meanings/explanations below the cut (these are mostly from my mom’s tarot book, so it might vary slightly depending on deck)

A very messy Oluwande and Jim doodle I did during a meeting earlier this week
Something that’s helped me a lot when writing/designing characters is to make associations with them. Usually I pick an animal, a season, or an abstract concept to define them, and I keep metaphors and similes relating to that character within those categories. It adds a nice bit of symbolism, plus it gives the story more of a mythical feeling. It also lends more weight to interactions. If character x is the moon, and character y is the sun, then their interactions are suddenly more meaningful, especially if they have a relationship that is like that of the sun and moon in mythology or astronomy.
Y’all

I was in the new Tretyakov gallery today and saw a funny picture. I was amused by the thought of Ivan with a thin mustache and a joint (I don’t know exactly what the person in the original painting smokes)
