Finished a new card - the Empress card this time! This is another one with non-sexual nudity, so here's a link to it on my Tumblr: http://meagantrott.tumblr.com/post/1590 ... man-oracle

She looks lovely! Is her headpiece made out of roses and amethysts?

Thank you! Heheh, I was aiming for pomegranates and rose quartz, but I can see how it would be hard to tell!

Huh, I can't tell if the novice is an owl wearing a person mask or a person wearing an owl mask. cx

The Tower card illustration is complete! The Tower represents an epiphany, upheaval, or the destruction of old paradigms.

I just realized I never posted the most recent card illustration to this thread! Here's the "Sacrifice" card. I parallels the Hanged Man in the traditional Rider-Waite-Smith deck.

That card is hauntingly beautiful. Even though the owl isn't being hanged by its throat, it still has a look about it like it knows this is the end. The pure white color adds to that.

Whoaaa.... *dusts off this thread* I have been away from Lemma for far too long. I'm still working on OWO! In fact, I have a few new cards to show off...
I currently have the Strength card in the works, which should be ready to go by the end of the month. And after that, there are only 6 more card illustrations left to go!

The art in this is gorgeous and I'm always a fan of Tarot! I'm super interested in how complex your programming will be for the actual readings themselves. Are you planning on doing minor arcana illustrations as well?

Thank you! OWO is set up at a single-card reading for one of three topics you can select to ask about - so the programming is a really simple random number generator, essentially. Originally, I wanted to do a more complex spread, but I realized pretty quick that the game would probably never ship if I tried to do that (this is a solo project). ^_^; So far, the plan is to have a majors-only deck. I'm toying with the idea of releasing updates in the future for the court cards etc. but right now my main focus is just finishing up the majors and the writing so I can release.

That's totally understandable . The easiest way to do more complex spreads (like the three card past-present-future spread) would be to write three different paragraphs, pulling the appropriate one for whatever position it gets drawn in. Even that simple solution literally triples your writing work.

I'll definitely be tracking this though!

New card illustration done! View the Stillness card on my blog over here: https://meagantrott.com/2018/02/17/owl- ... ness-card/
I'm so excited - I can count the number of cards left to do on one hand now. :D
