Eight of Swords (Patreon)

Hello everybody :).

Yesterday evening I finished the next tarot card - No. 58! Created with Krita and Blender.

It was difficult to find a fitting motif because self-imposed imprisonment happens a lot more to humans. I've chosen the raccoon stuck in a rusty and time-worn grid. These little creatures accidentally get themselves into trapped situations. The Eight of Swords also means isolation, being powerless/helpless (also depicted by the ivy covering its eyes like a blindfold) but getting the chance to find new perspectives on a difficult situation (hope and help are near).

The eight swords are pointing in the raccoon's direction. These are also starting to be affected by rust and are slightly broken. The raccoon can't see a solution for now and has to rely on someone else's help.

I will now have to figure out how to continue. The next Ubuntu animal has been announced Oracular Oriole and I also want to continue with the new card, some ideas are already evolving. Maybe I will start working on both and one will take over all the attention for a while.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for your support. It means a lot. The pledges support mandatory health insurance costs and it helps more than reference books to keep going during such turbulent times. <3

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely, Sylvia
