HP Tarot thumbnails - The Fool
Hey you people who care, please go back to the comments section of the High Priestess entry and put in your opinion for which layout is better (and why). :3
The Fool depicts the excitement of a naive newcomer taking the first step into a transformational journey. I'm not even going to bother explaining any further because duh.
Notable art bits:
1. The traditional Fool is stepping off a cliff into the unknown. Harry is, of course, taking the first step onto the Hogwarts Express, going from the mundane (gray) Muggle world to the realm of magical potential (red).
2. The Fool has a dog yapping at his heels, which may be a representation of energy and excitement, or a warning from the conscious about the risks of the unknown. Hedwig is here taking that role and I'm going to redraw her to look a bit more natural I swear but there is no room to stretch out inside that cage oh god it's not easy being an owl. Incidentally female snowy owls are very much speckled and at the beginning of movie 6 Hedwig had a few spots and I thought "Oh, they finally made her a girl?" but then later onshe became pure white again.
3. The layout is not very much changed from the old version of the card, aside from improved perspective and pose. The one thing different is that Harry was previously not looking at where he's going, which is kind of a Fool thing, but I thought it was nicer to convey the wonder and anticipation instead.
4. The sky is golden?? No, it's (will be) just the ceiling inside King's Cross Station on a sunny day. Who, me, anal?
10/22 cards done, 4/22 cards in progress, 6/22 cards posted!

radioactive glowytrain. I mean should he be looking towards the camera? Away from the camera? 180 degrees behind him? Up towards the ceiling?Ah, the wonders of the internet age, where I can find out what any given train station halfway across the globe looks like with a single click instead of making stuff up from my head :3
