Artist's Comments

Another card in my Cybertron Tarot fanart project.

The Pentacles suit is about material aspects; physical and mental well-being, and financial matters. The Ace in particular indicates the beginning of a fruitful period; perhaps a new job, or a windfall is on the way. Swindle found his way onto this card largely because he knows all about financial gain - it's his raison d'être. But his mental health certainly isn't suffering either - he's an underhanded, conniving little git... and he's good with that.

Drawn by hand in pencil and technical pen; coloured in Paint Shop Pro.

Excellent choice. Love the coin, BTW. I really have to read thru and learn the major cards in order to get to know the minor cards. Then there's this book a friend lent me. Long road ahead of me. But it'll all be worth it in the end.

Great job. :clap: :D

I'm still learning myself. But while I've found certain books to be useful, I've actually found making my own deck to be even more so. I have about half a dozen sources for meanings, and each one is subtly different - but each one has helped me to shape my own definitions. And as I pick a TF to fit a card, in a way, that also alters my perceptions of what the card means.

It IS a long road, but it's a fun journey.

Thanks for the props. :D

Lovely idea, especially with the flippin' coin and that smirk on his face is so sly. ;)

Awesome choice of character, I like his TF:Animated version, it's cool. It's like Joe Isuzu with a Decepticon symbol 8D

By the way are you aware of Plain Cards? [link] it's what I printed my Strawberry Shortcake Tarot gift out on.
