Fan Art vindicta as judgment
decided to draw vindicta as judgment after finishing my silver hanged man drawing! i thought it fit her nicely because of her lore as a victim of the salem witch trials and her desire for vengeance.
also see the lineart and my layers in procreate ^_^
edit: if you have ideas or suggestions for the other characters/tarot cards, please leave them below! i have already assigned cards to various characters but haven't started on anything, so i'd love to hear from you.

Here is my take. Some are missing, and I just looked up Tarot meanings on Google because I've never done tatrit before :- p
I hope you find my ideas fun!
Fool: Rem.
Innocent and starting anew, Rem explores a strange new waking world
Magician: Seven.
Using magic to realize his full power and potential, seven seeks his divinity
High priestess: Venator.
Bringing inquisitorial justice, Venator smites all those unworthy of the Lord's light
Empress: ???
Emperor: ???
Hierophant: Doorman.
Descending from the heavens unto earth, The Doorman seeks to guide his toys down an… amusing path
Lovers: Mo and krill.
These two are in a healthy relationship as partners, unlike the disaster that is the Sinclairs
Chariot: Mirage.
Mirage carries forth the Djinn into a new life
Strength: Gray Talon.
Despite life’s many hardships and tragedies, Grey Talon perseveres with strength and determination
Hermit: Pocket.
Hiding behind a cloak, pocket seeks their future and contemplates what place to take in the world and Fairfax industries
Wheel of Fortune: Kelvin.
Mysterious misfortunes have befallen Kelvin. What will he make of them? And will he uncover the truth behind the fate of his crew?
Justice: Warden.
Warden seeks to impose justice upon the patrons, no matter the cost
Hanged man: Silver.
Silver seeks a new life after the disastrous state she finds herself in
Death: Victor.
Born from death and made anew, Victor represents the end signalling a new beginning
Temperance: Dynamo.
A man with a harmonious life, seeking truth and knowledge about the eclipse and the patrons
The devil: Infernus/Mina Ha.
Infernus spent his youth wreaking death and destruction. Eventually, he took control and settled down.
Mina Ha represents hedonism and chaos, without the moderation of growth that Infernus represents. I'm not sure who fits best
The tower: Billy.
Billy preaches desire for change and upheaval
The star: Celeste.
Inner contemplation has led Celeste to a new beginning, stepping out of the shadows to shine
The Moon: The Lash.
The cracks in his arrogant and uncaring demeanor may hint at the illusion hiding the true man underneath….
The Sun: Ivy.
Radiant and hopeful, Ivy is always willing to lend a hand.
Note: Ivy may also fit well with the Empress, but the cast is filled with tragedy and selfishness and lacks another character who can represent hope and generousity for the sun
Judgement: Vindicta.
Hunting from afar, Vindicta judges all those that have wronged her guilty
The world: ???

I have to give procreate a try, it took me forever to get used to CSP after using Photoshop for years. And I bought CSP before their subscription model, and now I have limited re-installs for my key which is absolutely absurd. Wonderful work, your layers are so tidy too, mine are always mini trainwrecks contained in folders lol

u/toon_townie 14h ago
thank you so much! and learning how to make my layers more organized has definitely been a struggle lol (half of the layers on this piece aren't even named other than the ones for vindicta). and i really recommend procreate! i used to draw on krita and medibang but switched to procreate after buying an ipad a year ago.

Id rather avoid training apple ai, personally
2
u/toon_townie 12h ago
can you elaborate on this a bit? i tried googling anything about apple using procreate art to train its ai but couldn't find much. i may have to look into alternatives if this is true though

u/harikonbini 14h ago
this is so beautiful 💕 do you plan to do more?

u/toon_townie 14h ago
thank you so much! i hope to eventually finish a whole set for all the major arcana cards, but progress will definitely be slow since there's like 22 of them and each one will probably take a few weeks

u/yokotokki Vindicta 14h ago
agh this is so beautiful and perfect for vindicta, your colouring and composition are immaculate <33 might make this my phone wallpaper if it's okay ^^

Can we get the cube(or viscous) as The Tower, since viscous brings about the news of the adversary

Looks really good, have plans for the rest of the cards ?

u/toon_townie 12h ago
thank you, and yes! i'm having a friend help me with rem as the moon. i've started sketching out pocket/mina as the lovers, and plan to do victor for death soon.

u/dodpl1 Ivy 12h ago
Thought Rem fitted more '"the fool" but I whoud love to see it as "the moon"
3
u/toon_townie 11h ago
i can def see that too, but i have a really funny concept for vyper as the fool about to slither off a skyscraper like the fool in the rider-waite card :p

u/dangermonke1332 Vyper 11h ago edited 11h ago
God damn that's great art! Also I'd like so suggest Victor as The Hermit. It represents reflection, looking inside yourself for answers, and spiritual growth which I think Victor suits pretty well because his whole goal is to basically find out who made him and who he's made of. The inverted version of the card represents isolation and feeling lost, which also fits Victor pretty clearly.
He also fits pretty neatly into Death (obviously) but I'd argue that Vyper also fits pretty well for that card (either that or The Devil). Death represents transformation and breaking a cycle, which is Vyper's whole goal, to get a new life and break the cycle of committing crimes and then being imprisoned, breaking out and doing it over. I think the Patrons literally say to her "The cycle can be broken."

Very cool art!; some ideas for other tarot/hero synergies which you may have already thought of but just popped into my mind:
The empress - Ivy (since the empress has a relationship with nature and nurturing; obviously ivy’s abilities with healing and general vines/plants seems a natural fit)
The tower - Graves (since the tower is associated with calamity or ruin I imagine an oversized gravestone from Graves’ kit forming the literal “tower” so to speak and the flaming zombies (or whatever they’re called) she spawns are running from it)
With less explanation;
The emperor - Dynamo
Temperance - Haze
The moon - Rem
Good luck and I join many others in saying that I’d maybe be interested in buying prints of some of these when they’re done!

u/toon_townie 10h ago
thank you so much! further down the line i’ll look into selling prints. i really like the idea of empress ivy, and one of my very talented friends is helping me with rem as the moon, so that should be uploaded soon.
for tower, i was thinking of seven because i had graves as high priestess but i haven’t started brainstorming ideas for either of the drawings so i’m def still flexible with the assignments!

u/themasterfold Billy 10h ago
Billy as The Devil could be cool, or him as The Fool, with the knapsack replaced with his bat. Pocket could fit the Hermit pretty well, Temperance seems to be made for Doorman. I think it would be really funny to make vyper either the High Priestess or the Empress lol

Going back to your silver design. I remember there were some valid criticisms in the comments. Like the weird fingers on the gun trigger, the angle of the trigger itself. The jacket and how it flared and gravity not affecting it properly, and silvers tail not looking like a tail.
I can't catch any errors on this one. It's very neat. Looks finished to me.

u/toon_townie 5h ago
thank you, i definitely kept all of those critiques in mind while working on this piece and i'm glad you noticed and it paid off

This looks even better than the silver I saw the other day.
Do you have any others done? Or still a work in progress?
These are really good.

u/toon_townie 5h ago
i'm very early stages on a mina/pocket lovers one right now, and my friend is collaborating with me on a rem piece (@s_washere on twitter). so those should be up within the next few weeks!

As an amateur artist who can’t draw for shit this is a great insight to the fact that I’m gonna need a lot more than three layers…

Don't know what he's meant. Your drawing is just wonderful. How long did it take you to draw it?

This looks so good but my brain instantly goes "AI slop", even though you showed the layers and sketching and i feel bad for it..

u/toon_townie 14h ago
shoot, i've been aiming to imitate 19th century illustrators like walter crane and took inspo for the composition from the rider-waite tarot deck

u/Lucadi_2 14h ago
Oh so that's why you selected Vindicta (I'm slow).
I'm the problem, it looks honestly amazing 💜
