It's been sometime since I touched this project. I always have a few projects going in parallel, since I tend to get bored if I have to work on the same thing for a very long time. But I missed working in ink and so I got back to these illustrations.
I started also to work on the suit of cups, which is associated with the element of water. It's also the suit connected to feelings, emotions, intuition, etc. So I thought I would use animals connected to the ocean for these illustrations. I pickup which animals to use intuitively, so probably the meaning of the card is not really reflected by the imagery.
I also thought using ink would be a great idea, and I am happy to say I was not wrong. I really like the fluid effect it gives to the illustrations, and although I'm using a "black ink", it actually contains a multitude of other colors when you dilute the ink with water.
I am still finishing also the main deck and hope to have more to share in the coming months. I'll need to decide also what kind of materials/theme I will use for the other decks. I think it will be fun to use a different techniques for each deck, but I didn't made a decision regarding that yet.
Thanks for stopping by!
