I never quite finished these two cards the first time i tried making a PJO major arcana and I never posted them. I really like the designs though so I’ll probably try to do something similar when I draft them again

#pjo #riordanverse #nico di angelo #leo valdez #my art #tarot #hoo #the main thing i wanted to adjust for the Leo card was the Festus cause. i was struggling to simplify a mechanical dragon for tarot #also wasn't 100% on the embers detail cause wasnt sure how well that'd translate to a physical card #nico's was pretty close to done though #also i never figured out a boarder / font #im still obsessed with the way Leo was described during the fight in the end of BoO for the record #just ''yup he was MADE OF FIRE'' so cool #i can go through my list of my card assignments if anyone's curious #a couple of cards arent fully solidly decided but a decent amount are #also looking at my old art is reminding me the colors on my old monitor were a Lil Skewed #so saturated....#nico's card will prob stay mostly the same though cause hell yeah that rocks. still love it.#if anyone's curious for these card reasonings -#judgement is traditionally depicted with an angel raising the dead and the planetary association is pluto.#i couldn't NOT. also card meanings: destiny / upcoming decision / putting past behind / healing / judgement / self-reflect / self-doubt #which is very nico vibes to me #then death is resistance to change / major change / endings & start of something new / personal transformation #which feels very Leo to me! plus i like the imagery of instead of Death on a horse it's Leo on Festus at the end of BoO #cause that was him ending a chapter of him trying to find himself and starting anew
