*full view please *
Well ... a project i have for a longtime ...
Chikage draws her tarot cards for her brother and found a dark future *mwahahaha * and says something like "Bad draw Ani-kun"
All cards have the real name and number ^^ as for the card backs : i vectorized them from the serie but only change the color because the purple didn't fit the wall color scheme ...
The 3 cards are supposed to belongs to the same set so i use the same model (white outline, ornaments, font , composition , ) for the 3 and add a texture on them to give a more realistic effect (cardboardish effect )
For the death card (Xi ) :
Use different desaturation because i really wanted to make the scan black-and-white and give a
Kim Anderson : [link] effect ...
I only change her eye color and the ribbon because she is supposed to be death after all and i wanted to emphasize her eyes
Then draw a clock behind her ... the clock is supposed to show "midnight" but it's not very seeable ^^ because of the scan ...
And finaly brush the background to give a less empty effect ... because tarot cards , as i saw them, have a lot of things on them
For the Tower card (XVI) :
I use a tower pic i found on google , clean it a bit (it was grainy and have scanner marks ) then add it on the card-skeleton i made before (the card model )
It's the simplest one of the set but it simply my second fave after the death one :D
For the High priestess card ( II )
I found the scan on minitokyo and cleaned it since it was grainy
The dimensions and quality weren't that good but since i wanted to make her as a not so big card it was already the suitable size
I hesitate between the 2 names of the card ( high priestess and papess ) but i just can't find a suitable background for the 2nd name ...so i went for the first
And add the starry background i created with greg-martin awesome planet tutorial you sure all know ^^
In my minds she is the high priestess of light and darkness so that's the reason why i let her float in the space background ^^
I don't like that card so much T_T
I also add divination runes ...because in the serie Chikage use several devices to predict future (crystal ball, cards, ... )
I tried to add volume to the cards after Phoenix gives me a tip but i don't know if its really what she means in her post :D
I don't apply it for the rocks since there isn't so much light on the wall and rocks don't reflect so much light too ^^
Well .. you should notice the brightness and the clean-ness of the cards ... cards are mint because Chikage seemsto be a very care-ful person for her devices (in the serie you sometimes see her cleaning her crystal ball )
For the text ... i tried to add some but it feels like i tried to fill up the space and i cannot find a proper font nor text-effects which fits the mood of the wall
On top of that i'm not sure if the "Bad draw" is correct and a uncorrect (spelling or syntax) text ruin so easily a wallpaper T_T so i drop it ... i'll maybe add some if i have an illumination :D
I'm not so proud of the card ornament ... i think i'll change them afterward ...
For the size of the wall ... it was natural to create a widescreen because of the composition ... so i don't have any simple-screen sized version of this wall
Ahum ... sorry for the so long description but it was one of my first wall in which i know before making it which effect, mood, bg i wanted without so much revisions :D so please don't throw me tomatoes *hide behind her chair*
Well .. i hope you'll like it and all comments and faves of course (^_^) are welcome ....
