As I said
here:

Seriously, I would pay for that.
I wasn't lying.
When I saw the finished product, my reaction was pretty much this:
Thank you very much for taking on this commission, wangxiuming!
I basically just wanted to stay out of wangxiuming's way and see what he'd come up with, since I trusted that it would be awesome no matter what. While pleasantly pondering what he'd come up with, I thought maybe he would go with the Hanged Man or the Hermit (themes of letting go, introspection, etc.)
wangxiuming wrote:if he hasn't attained spiritual enlightenment
See, wangxiuming is spot-on. In my head canon, Mi-Le is not enlightened (I don't even want to
try RPing that

). But he definitely has a much higher Wisdom score than I do, so it's still pretty challenging for me to RP him. I often struggle to figure out what Mi-Le would say or do. So wangxiuming picking a card with themes of "completion and integration" makes me feel like maybe I've RPd Mi-Le okay after all.
TL;DR: Thanks, man.

There is a need for a red wizard in these cards! *hint hint*
Super artwork, really.

That is amazing. I love the decision to capture Mi-Le in motion, yet still as a man close to perfect balance.
This is a man who can one-shot a pit fiend then tell it to go in peace!

Hey, I'm not dead! Here's Eldarian as the Sun Arcana:
It's been a while since I've drawn anything (almost six months?) and I wanted to pick my tarot card series back up again. I told miasmata's player that I'd do one for him a while back and I finally cobbled together some semblance of creativity to do this.
Being a Lathanderite, Eldarian makes a perfect candidate to represent the Sun. The Sun Arcana encapsulates positivity, vitality, and warmth, among other things. In my character's experience, these are qualities that this champion of Lathander definitely exemplifies.
A few elements I pulled from the Rider Waite set of cards:
- The four sunflowers are represented in the armor designs emblazoned into his armor.
- The red banner representing the blood of renewal is represented here as Eldarian's cloak (which is usually golden).
- I tried to evoke the feeling of light at dawn, given dawn's importance to Lathander's church. Since I couldn't have the sun hanging high in the air when it's supposed to be around dawn, I incorporated the sun symbology through the architecture of the window.

Can I make a tarot request of Amora for "the devil" card? It totally describes her forward and reversed (totally addicted to Reiker). Also bonus, she's a tiefling
By the way these are totally amazing.

Amazing, as always. The face looks very familiar, but I can't put my finger on whom it reminds me of.
