WHEEL
OF
FORTUNNNNNNEEE
The Wheel of Fortune represents a turning point in one's life that may be due to chance, where "anything could happen". I have the Sorting Hat in its place because it's what determines a large part of a student's developmental path throughout their teenage years, and <insert rant about Hogwarts system of segregation and self-fulfilling prejudices>
Notable art bits:
1. Hey look, I made a wheel-ish image. Originally I was just going to have the Sorting Hat sitting upright like normal, but when I went to draw it I suddenly had the inspiration to draw it from the top so it'd be circular. Does it work, guys?
2. The traditional Wheel of Fortune card has four angelic animals/figures in the four corners, which are apparently icons ofRingo, Paul, George, and John Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and/or possibly representing the four elements. I've got the four House mascots (in the order of the Hogwarts crest) because they represent the "destinies" that the Sorting Hat will assign people into, plus they're also each of the minor suits.
3. Each of the mascots is also pulling back a corner of their "background" to beckon you into their House. OH LOOK AREN'T I SO CLEVER
4. Eagle sucks and needs redo. I really suck at drawing birds (or at least wings), even with reference. This problem will crop up again. And again.

(I have a random selection of websites like those in my favourites left over from when I did art ^^; )
I like how you've done the concept for this card though :)

I have plenty a collection of my own reference photos too that I'll be going through when I sit down to work on these cards. Someday it will break through my thick skull.
