I absolutely love these latest Tarot cards! You found the perfect image of Marion for the Queen of Swords card. I really like the progression we see of her holding Albion after Loxley has been killed and then giving the sword to Robert of Huntingdon. All of the designs are so beautiful, but I think that the first and last ones are my favourites.
You've also done a wonderful job with the Page of Swords card. While Gisbure is no longer a page, I'm not sure who else you could use for this card, unless you went with a shot of a page at Nottingham Castle. And it probably wouldn't mean much if you did that. In any case, you've used one of my favourite shots of Gisburne from the entire series and combined it with some stunning colours, textures and graphics. I think I like the second design best, followed very closely by the first one.
Thank you, rusty_armour! I am glad you love the latest Tarot cards. I know from the beginning that I want use this image of Marion for this card. And I thought it would be nice to use it together with the image of Marion and Robert of Huntingdon. I am glad that you like the Page of Swords cards too. Yes, I didn't know who other than Gisburne to use for this card. Maybe Robert of Huntingdon? Now I don´t know who to use for the Knight of Swords card.
Your images make it absolutely clear that Marion IS the Queen of Swords; and that entails being The Guardian of Albion. (What about the rest of the Swords of Wayland .... how might she interact with them? *pops idea into plotbunny pen*)
I used to love her in that cloak and wimple outer-gear too. Maybe a deity of autumn or winter?
The Page card is great too. I love the image of little Guy and little Robin(?) with their swords. Who is the female entity at Guy's back?
I am glad that you like Marion as the Queen of Swords, grondfic. I love your idea about Marion and the rest of the Swords of Wayland.
I reuse old image I created some time ago for the Page of Swords card. There I used a picture of a pages that I liked. I saw little Guy in one, so if you see little Robin in the other, I don't have a problem with that. :-) Actually, I like the idea. I don´t know who is the female entity at Guy´s back. I liked the image. I think she was holding an hourglass in her hand, so I probably took it as a symbol of time. I have to find the original picture.
