This is a tarot card design done in Photoshop.
Sorry, no exif as this was a composite image.
The birch branch and leaves and the flame were layered from photographs.
Hi Brent, thanks for your comments. The symbolism of the green leaves relates to beginnings as birch is connected with beginnings, being the tree for the new year. The Ace of Wands itself is the card in the deck most connected with beginnings, new ideas, enthusiasm etc.
LOL, I did move on, that's why I never got around to finishing the deck. And actually I began them when I first started to learn Photoshop, and now I'm very critical of some of the artwork - I don't think it's up to standard. Plus I do very little illustrative work now.
Flick.
Interesting illusion of fire - the green leaves giving way to ... summer heat?
A lot of symbolism I do not understand but visually very pleasing. Looked at your cards from the other link as well. Some very stimulating and imaginative images. If you need prodding and encouragement - you should finish them. It will allow you to move on :-)
