Artist's Comments

this is for 's tarot card project, "Think of the Children." The full set of cards will be printed either as a book, or, if they can find a printer, as actual cards, and sold online; all proceeds go to a children's charity. Check it out: [link]

I was given the King of Swords, woo!! He is 'a man of military authority.' The king of swords is supposed to be a strong, ethical leader with a good sense of justice, someone who can be trusted to make the right decisions and always tell the truth. He has both the qualities of a strong military general and a king. Well, I tried to express those things in an earlier piece, and failed :dead: So I chose a more loose interpretation, started thinking of dictators and Apocalypse Now, and came up with this, which was a million times more fun. He's a king of swords that misused his gifts XP

He wasn't supposed to be YB, but I guess he turned out that way. Hardcore reference used for all the weapons. Feel free to critique! I probably won't change anything but I would like some opinions. One thing I'm especially concerned with is if the content is appropriate for this project...

Interesting concept and nicely done. It's nice to see YB again, I've missed him and it's kewl that he can portray the King of Swords from a Tarot Deck. I'd like to see the others if an entire tarot deck is getting it's own DA styled illustration!

A few cars drove by the house.
A few birds chirped in nearby trees.
A few neighborhood dogs barked.
And somewhere in between all that, a few lives seemed to be falling apart.

Amazing as usual! I just adore the boot's pattern!

Without pain life has no meaning. I intend to give your lives a meaning.

I love the whole thing as an image! But I don't know if he looks like someone "with a good sense of justice, someone who can be trusted to make the right decisions and always tell the truth" to me... he rather looks like someone who does whatever he wants (to me). Maybe he'd look more reliable if you made him look more serious = turned that grin into a serious expression.
Hm.
Great drawing though!! ^^
:iconphoenix13x5:
Whoa, man! He's really sexy I just hafta say! It might because I have a love for military men... Or that you draw so well. I must say I like the scars, somehow... And how I absolutely love his eyes. They're like eletric, and they draw your attention! Very well done!

WOOTS! XD
This looks awesome, I really must see the rest of the cards now <scurries off to do so>
Keep up the great work!
