Dang! It's about time! Merry christmas, everyone!
Easily one of the more complex cards, design-wise. Lots of characters, large main character, a Freaking Horse, cliffs, towers, the sun, that flower... man. I'm so glad it's done, though!

I really like how the horse came out.

Yes, the horse. I've always been nervous about doing the horses on these cards, and have never been pleased with the one on the Knight of Cups (a little too much on the cartoony side, methinks). After this one, though, I'm thinking to go back and make some tweaks to that one, to keep it in line with this look. Also, I'm thinking of hitting all the Knights, similar to how I did all the Aces at one time because of their similar elements. That way all the horses would be out of the way and off my mind.
And of course, I just noticed that the Death horse's hooves should be darker. And the shading on the flag should be way smoother than that... bugger.
