OhmygodohmygodohmyGAWD!! You have to see this! It’s a “Lovers” Card I just found on deviantART, by an artist who goes by “bluefooted“. If he/she doesn’t do an entire Tarot deck, I may have to throw myself from the highest parapet in the land.
You can click it for an even larger view. I am in love. :::swoons:::
I – heartily – second that “OhmygodohmygodohmyGAWD!!” and swooning! Maybe if we constantly harass the artist, they’ll continue with the deck? And by “harass” I mean “gently encourage” *clears throat*

Heh π I did hit the little button to ‘request a print’, and left a comment. Hopefully the artist, bluefooted, will get the not-so-subtle hint. And as he/she pointed out on the DA site, it’s a deliberately six-legged octopus, so maybe a sextopus? π Seems fitting for the Lovers card, although I’m not sure that was the reason.

This is beautiful! It reminds me of the H.P. Lovecraft movie Dagon. The very ending of the movie is a photo scene similar to this. You must see the movie if you have not to see the slight difference.

Oh, thanks! I’ll try to find a copy. I wonder if that was the inspiration for this?

Well, I, for one, couldn’t resist googling “sextopus”. π

Ah the card. That is gorgeous. The circular lines remind me a bit of Art Nouveau.

You are certainly braver than I *hat off* π What I could imagine, based on what I’ve encountered “out there”, was bad enough!

HAhahaha! My imagination is going into overdrive here π
I love the shading and the depth (pardon the pun) of the detail on this. There are so many decks out there with really really bad artwork, it’s so exciting to see someone with extraordinary talent turn their attention to Tarot (I think I used up my quota of “T’s” in that sentence). I wish with every fiber of my being the artist would do at least a set of the Majors.

Well, I must admit to being just a tad bit disappointed. The first hit brought me to some article for a computer cable gadget of all things!

Stunning! I found a tarot deck that wasn’t finished on deviantART and I was totally impressed… wish they could have printed that deck too.
