SGA Tarot Deck 3

Something for the SGA Tarot Deck! Complete list of Cards and previous cards.

Lovers


Warning: Implied John/Rodney/Ronon/Teyla although it can be seen as friendship/gen

06. Team - The Lovers

Lovers


6. The Lovers: We have two people in love and in a relationship. We also have a card showing the mountain that they have to climb together, the stream in the card represent the obstacles that they will have to overcome together. This couple is earthed together, they will move forward together but they will do so also as individuals.*

This card is dedicated to all the authors and artists that showed me how a Team OT4 could actually work.

And because it was too pretty not to post, the original picture (Normally I make them card sized, but Ronon wouldn't fit so I just made it bigger and then cut and resized it in Photoshop):

Team


The only difference is that you can see slightly more of Teyla's and Rodney's legs and a bit more of the wall.

It's beautiful, and what a wonderful choice, to pick the whole team as the lovers. That makes me very happy.

Mmm, I love Teyla sitting in Rodney's lap.

Awwww. They look just so full of love. And although they all have their clothes on, it kinda looks naughty, too (in a very good way). :)

Oh, this is awesome! I love Teyla's Dress, and the Colour of Rodney's Shirt, and how Rodney is holding Teyla, and John has a hand on both, and Ronon standing protectively over them all. (hee see the random Capitals :D:D)

That is gorgeous!

lovely, I like the crayon-like colouring and, especially, the way that they're looking at each other.

Just the right amount of detailing. Great work.

Edit: OMG JOHNS' EARS. ::falls over::

LOVE IT. And it has absolutely nothing to do with my sudden love of all things OT4 :)

Loved Teyla here, looking back at the guys, and John playing with her hair. Very well done.

Oh wow.

Love the triangle of interaction between John, Rodney, and Teyla. Just wish Ronon was in there a little bit more. Though, seriously OT4 is the best XD You have a lovely style, and it's so nice to see watercolor works :) Thank you for sharing

OT4 "The Lovers" Oh my god, yes!

This is gorgeous!

God if you ever get the whole set illustrated, I think they must be made into a deck. They're so lovely

[identity profile] looking4tarzan.livejournal.com 2007-03-23 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
hun that's the best way to do it. If you ever use them for divination I bet they'll be scarily accurate (my sga rune cards are annoyingly so!)

[identity profile] looking4tarzan.livejournal.com 2007-03-23 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL
I have to admit that when I use my rune cards I tend not to need my book for the interpretations of the meanings for each rune, because I put so much work onto the picture (makes em easier to carry about. Especially as my fave book with meanings isn't small!

Lovely card! :) I like the idea of the team as the Lovers. *squees softly*

Before recent times (post-1930s) the Lovers did not actually stand so much for a couple, as they stood for innocence and the beauty of love. It is thought that the idea of the lovers is centered around the story of Adam and Eve in the Bible. The story of the couple in the card says that all the secrets of the world were known to them, all the powers of the minor arcana (the wands, the cups, the swords, and the pentacles) were at their disposal because of the purity of their love and their innocence. They souls flew high above the earth because of their purity.

This card is also tied with The Devil, which (typically) shows the couple depicted in The Lovers chained to a block, tormented, with the Devil sitting or standing on top of the block. The thing that binds them to the block and brought them down from their heavenly state depicted in The Lovers is their newfound fear of the world, and anger because if the serpent had not tempted them in the paradise seen in The Lovers, they would never have known fear and would still fly high in the sky.

Yikes, I told you I could wax poetic about the Arcana for hours, didn't I? Sorry. These are such lovely cards, I just can't help it! :)

I've studied the Tarot in depth for over seven years now, and I do readings quite frequently. I typically study the Hebrew origins of the cards, rather than the post 1930s meanings. If you would ever like to know anything about either the Major or Minor Arcana, feel free to email me. It would be my pleasure for such a lovely deck! :)

Also, are you planning to depict the Minor Arcana as well? Any thoughts on who you might use as The Fool (as the antithesis of The Magician)?

I'm rambling again. Sorry. Anyway, lovely cards, I'll shut up now. :)

Superb work, I love dropping by your livejournal from time to time to see the new art. Keep it up.

Oh, man, I love this a lot.
