Ace of Swords

homg.. I'm finally done. This took a long time, mainly because I'm slow, and then partially because I couldn't make my mind up on anything. I redid everything like 5 times. I was actually going to make it kind of lineless to work with the bg more but.. I have other things to work on and it doesn't look that bad I hope. The writing that is on this isn't on the actual card though

This is for jieyi's "Think of the Children" project. After looking through the submissions she already has, and seeing some of the artists that are involved in this project, I felt very out of place to say the least. I'm glad she let me in on this wonderful project though ANYWAY, about the ace of swords. It means victory, new beginnings, etc. I have no idea if.. anything I did conveys that message. I was thinking something along the lines that dark clouds part to reveal.. light? Haha lame I know. I also read that victory does not always mean "good" but can mean evil depending on the situation. Eh.. I have a horrible time trying to put meaning into things I do, so I hope I did ok.
