Way back at AC10, I commissioned  Fel for a piece. At MFF10, I finalized what I wanted and we went from there. I offered him the entirety of the deck and he wanted the Emperor. It started off as my character in a throne, very Rider-Waite heavily influenced. He came back on the radar recently and this piece was the result. It was totally not what I expected and I love it! Sure the original Rider-Waite is about the counterpart to the Empress and order and being fatherly where the Empress is about being motherly, another interpretation of the card is the ultimate male ego and being the absolute ruler of the world. Apparently, the Emperor is also called "The Rebel" in other tarot decks. I might go with that since it really does fit the card and I'm not your normal guy. But this awesome piece is the result of the time that  fel had and I love it!
