working on concept sketches

I am not good at thumbnailing I just want to draw every detail

also I can’t read my old notes from last year because my handwriting is so awful

also trying to remember the extremely obscure arcane symbolism for year-old thumbnails is just about the most blood-pressure inducing thing I’ve done all week

also see: trying to find one particular Ibn Ezra reference in 600 pages of notes (except that it might be Agrippa, that’s also a possibility)

WAH ARTIST PROBLEMS

Some concept sketches for a Thing I’ve been working on for upwards of a year. Nothing else about the deck is Shakespeare themed — the general theme is dream-like Lovecraftian weirdness, so it’s a real mish-mash — but the meanings my system assigns to the aces fit perfectly with some of the Bard’s most iconic characters. Top left is Rosalina in drag, triumphant.  Top right is Lavina, trying to communicate by writing in the dirt with a twig held between her stumps.  Bottom left is Antonio making a good trade in the seaport.  Bottom right is Hamlet stabbing Polonius through the tapestry.
