I've been reading Tarot cards for
over SIX years now, and finally I'm making my own deck that combines classic Rider-Waite imagery with symbols and character from my Life in Glory series of stories.
---------------------------
19 - The Sun = High Queen Odalise
The Sun promises happiness and success--we'd expect nothing less from Odalise, the Glory area Seelie High Queen. She's pretty awesome and saves Hayden and Thalia's lives technically more than once, though inadvertently. Although the main reason I picked her for this card was as a match to Ephemera, her opposite, being The Moon.
Her skin color scanned in weird. Plus this card just came out a lot messier than I planned. Hm.
Fun Fact: Odalise's name was originally Odalisque (inspired by the Decemberists song of the same name), until I found out
what that word meant and decided to take out the qu. Uhm. Lol.
Odalise (c) me

Man, I love those eyes! They're so intense. It's really impressive that you've managed to express such different attitudes in the eyes of Odalise and Ephemera. These seem very warm and benign.
Also, she looks like a personification of Africa. You know what I'm talking about? One of those women-icons, like Britannia.

I now have Odalisque stuck in my head. Great job though, it flows very well.
