I need another project like I need a whole in my head, but I've been thinking about this for MONTHS AND MONTHS.
See, I have a Battlestar Galactica character in an RPG named Evalyn "Tarot" Perry. She is (or was) a Viper pilot, and she's psychic. Her primary form of divination is Tarot cards. Throughout the course of the game I've kept a notebook of the Major Arcana of the Tarot, their meanings, and what I feel the BSG equivalent would be called based on the meaning of the card. Of course I've been wanting to draw the deck for a long time now.
This is card number 01, The Fool. It's based on the myth of Icarus, who flew too close to the sun with his wax and feather wings. I figured that if anyone in Greek mythology (that I know of) fits the definition of the card.
For this series (because I am *hoping* to draw the rest of these) I'm going to try to combine traditional Tarot symbolism with Greek mythology and a heavy dose of the Battlestar Galactica mythos. The art is inspired from the <a href="http://www.greekfleamarket.com/greek_goddess_statues.htm">God and Goddess Statues in the show</a>, as well as from ancient Greek art. This will NOT be a series of cards based ON the show itself, but rather on the religion IN the show (and heavily on the Scrolls of Pythia, of course).
#2 of what will hopefully be a 21 image series
