King of Pentacles

Air of Fire.

As I noted in my sketch, this one turned into a Munchausen kind of thing. Four more left!

edit: Oh yeah, I should note that the suit of Pentacles is now completely done - not just finished for the show, but entirely done with, since it's the only one I actually finished the 99 for! The other suits are all one Court and a 99 away from total completion.

Enough cards have piled up that I'm wondering if I'm going to bother going back and putting them on FA when it gets up.

Print available on Artspots.

"there is no way out and you will have to plough on"

Woo! I now have in hand the funds to pay for printing this thing, and the sample prints tugrik ran off last weekend. Which all look pretty awesome; choosing between them solely on looks is going to be tough - good thing there's other considerations like fragility.

(I think the Hahnemuhle textured fine art is slightly winning over the Hahnemuhle photo-rag for the way the darks come out but it's really close. And there's the fact that the photo-rag is more durable. I'm going to need to wait until the sun comes out so I have enough light to tell.)

(Also, staring at these really close up is making me want to get some good art paper and do watercolor or something.)
