#U Linh

[gingerale2017]

im bored SO I MADE THESE

[aurenflare]

the star: a card that represents hope, renewed strength, and faith; connecting with oneself and stepping away from fear and self-restriction. reversed, it can represent hopelessness, despair, and a loss of one’s inner spark

extra details + the design i used as reference under cut! cw for artistic nudity :)

i want to preface this by saying i’m sorry for giving her brown eyes… she had blue eyes at first but i really couldn’t do it. pls take my word for it she looks astronomically better now.

anyways! so this card is very much inspired by the rider-waite interpretation:

and for the most part, i tried to preserve the details and colours while also putting my own spin on it! the tree in the background in my rendition is actually the panakes tree (though the bird is just a random bird). linh’s pose is fairly different from the original, but that’s the main change i made — because the original pose is fairly awkward to draw lol. i also had the water coming from her hands rather than jugs because. yk. hydrokinetic.

at its core, this card is about hope and connecting with oneself, and i really felt like that rung true for linh’s journey — especially when her arc comes full-circle in nightfall. for so long, she’s been afraid of her power, restricting and limiting herself because of it, which also rings true for the reversed meaning of this card. in nightfall, linh is faced with a catastrophe, and she must come to terms with herself in order to address it (and in fact, the previous card to this one in the deck is the tower, which represents a major change or destruction — but then is immediately followed by hope).

linh is one of my all-time favourite keeper characters, and i feel like this card fits her so well, both in terms of its meanings and its water motifs. this is also the first fully coloured marker piece that i’ve done in ages and it was so much fun! i hope i did her justice :) also some closeups for u if you’ve scrolled this far

my vision of characters is always so hyperspecific bc i reread the books i like and rewatch the shows i like several times (four to five in general, more if it's my favourite thing) because i just love analyzing every little detail that i come across

[cyborgcourt]

Honestly, I really adore connecting aspects of Kai’s affection for Cinder with some politician-like characteristics. You can tell he always cares a LOT for Cinder, even before they were official because that’s just what he does for people as a leader. He notices details, and he’s “smart and honourable and kind”. It’s definitely not to say that being involved in politics is the only reason he has these traits, but it’s cute to think about because being a politician takes great amounts of devotion, and seeing that level of passion show in all his love and admiration he displays for Cinder is so sweet

Also, flaws and all, I think Kai is actually a really great emperor
