Five of Swords (Patreon)

Happy New Year, :)!

The newest tarot card is done! Created with Blender and Krita. The Five of Swords is about conflict, winning at all costs, and defeat.

Bull and polar bears are counterparts in his dramatic winter scene. The bull is in a powerful fighting position at the top of the artwork. Fiery glowing eyes and misty clouds let us know that he is ready to continue the fight. The polar bears are running towards the viewer in defeat. Three swords surround the bull, stuck in the snow. It looks at first like a clear win but the bull horns are scratched. The swords look like crosses and symbolize the bull's loss. Nobody is a winner here. Under the bull's hooves, the ice seems to crack under the heavy weight. The two remaining swords are lying on the cold ground following the path of the polar bears emphasising their surrender.

Thank you so much for your support <3!
