Second Life Arcana

Well, the participants are already calling this the Tatarot. All 22 Major Arcana from the traditional Tarot cards, made in Second Life. The frames and the text of each card are made outworld. The images themselves are unretouched inworld snapshots.

There's irony, and symmetry and symbolism there. It's the first real artistic effort I've done and I've revelled in the Spark that made it possible. I got the idea a few days ago, and it started me thinking in odd directions.

Rather than follow the Tarot symbolism slavishly, I've worked to generate new, though related symbolism for these. Some of them are obvious, and some rather less so :)

This images are all shrunk down for web-viewing. If you want to see them full-size, then you'll need to do so in-world. I'll post when and where you can come see them, as soon as the arrangements have been made.



The Fool - Torley Linden
The Magician - Yumi Murakami
The High Priestess - Mera Pixel



The Empress - Anshe Chung
The Emperor - Philip Linden (Philip was not available, so this image was lifted from Snapzilla for now)
The Hierophant - Squagmire Stravinksy



The Lovers - Lethe Naumova (left) and Harle Armistice (right)
The Chariot - Brace Coral

We'll return after the break with more.
