And another still...

I blazed right on through and finished another card before getting my scans done. Another Sickly Suit card: the Ego card. The Sickly Suit is supposed to mirror a cerebral voyage in some sort of allegory. The idea when I came up with the suit was to make it as viable an arcanum as the major cards form. So, it's got to be brief and thorough. Fifteen cards, beginning, middle, end, sort of the Gospel According to Sickly, in tarot cards. Many things need to come into play. Many things need to be represented.
Everything this year has been drawn on borders that I drew over the last few years of working on this project. Often, I will draw a border and set it aside to have a composition drawn in it later. Many times, I have drawn a border having no idea what card was going to be drawn in it. I have a folder that still has a dozen or more borders already drawn, just chillin' out. Very relaxing, time/ink consuming, patience requiring process. And when it comes time to do compositions, they tend to go, or seem to go, quicker. That was the rule this year: no border drawing, unless I filled the pre-done folder.

Anyway, I thought it was time for another, since the Noise card was looking so lonely.
It's been a few weeks since I finished the Ego card. The very next day, I started the Nine of Skulls, as a potential gift for my girlfriend. Three sessions on it and its nearly done. Before finishing it though, I started the Nine of Tesseracts, as the new idea for the gift for the girl. Same story: three sessions and it's nearly done.
These two cards have similar meanings, both very positive, opulent, contented cards.
Same story. I have since started the Five of Legs, a card about play-fighting. Three sessions, nearly done.

So, the big debate is whether or not I will wait til I have finished another card to do my scan or if I'll do it maybe Monday. Then, if I wait, will it almost be worth it to wait for another?

After finals, either more drawing or more scanning will occur. Probably both.
Already planning the next, which is turning into the next pair.

More soon.
