I did this card as my contribution to a collaborative tarot deck, and as part of my lifelong hobby to be more Foolish. It's kind of a self-portrait--yes, at the time my hair was that color--and features my familiar friend Mad Maudlin the Cat (who once upon a time actually was that thin, that is, until I brought the new kitten home, Sir Isaac Mewton, and she ate lots and lots of his Kitten Chow, which is packed with all kinds of vitamins and calories for growing kittens).
Anyhoo.
It's done in colored pencils and is something like 6" x 10". It inspired some other cards, in which I switched the usual genders of the characters in the cards. I did the Magician and even the High Priestess just fine, but I've been stuck now for a while on the Empress. How do you do a male Empress? If you've got any ideas how to approach it (and I have some sort of crazy faith that it can be done), please, let me know!
