The Woman in the Ace of Pents, seems startled by the hand showing her the "Gift". While the Character in the Ace of Swords, seems to me to be in deep meditation, having just summoned the Sword to him, so I don’t see trepidation there, but a need to maintain sacred space till the sword is fully manifest. I will say however … I have a great deal of difficulty really connecting to decks done in this media, I gave a friend the Tarot of the Eternal Night for Christmas. To me too many images done in this media look to me like computer generated Zombies. Some images, like the Queen of Cups in the Eternal Night Deck, really transcend this issue; but over all, Im not convinced this media is quite ready for primetime. I do draw myself and I to prefer traditional media, like Pencil, myself. Blessings, BB. Honestly I see it quite differently, than Lada;
