Five of Pentacles in my tarot deck today.
This card was hard to understand for me. It could be isolation, scarcity, but going towards hope at the same time.

Five of Wands was the hardest Tarot card to draw for me so far. To combine five people cheerfully fighting each other took three different sketches and lots of struggles.
But in the end I am happy.
The meaning is: a conflict, competition but also diversity.

While storm is tearing through Ireland, here's the another Tarot card.
Four of Swords is a bit unusual for me, as it have no living creatures pictured (well, technically Three of Swords was like that too)
It could mean rest and recuperation.

Animation process sometimes looks like that.
I am using traditional frame-by-frame animations in my game, so I am using "onion skin" effect a lot.
