When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
Artist's Comments Hello, everyone! XD It has been a while! My thesis is finally OVER, thus I can finish all pending commissions, projects, and more leisure-related things I can come up with! (Yes, I owe a lot of people ;__; I profusely apologize) I want to color this badly, but working on the flats with a mouse is a very daunting task especially for a very detailed work (I don't have a WACOM tablet sadly D: ). So what I did was put some borders and the customary labels (nothing fancy in typefaces and borders because I want to highlight the center image and because I lack epic creativity haha) COMMENTARY: The Emperor mainly emphasizes on the notion of stability and balance in the world he governs in. Atemu as the Pharaoh pretty much captures that essence, and provides the backdrop for this worlding. Here is a rundown of the meanings behind the images I used in this tarot: *Atemu - self-explanatory. Pretty man. Eyes very hard to make D::: (And I made revisions on his crown which I hope helped >_>  *Horus - Falcon god, as well as the representation of all pharaohs of Egypt. In his talons, he holds the symbols for life and eternity. Lotus and Papyrus - represents the extent of his sovereignty/dominion over his territory *Lotus - Known as the flower of Upper Egypt *Papyrus - Consequently the flower of the Lower Egypt *Apep - The Serpent, who is the supposed nemesis of Ra (because the god Seth got a lot of bad press from previous rulers sometime in the past to suddenly warrant him a place as THE nemesis, but apparently, Apep was the original). He is consequently entwined against a pillar with an orb with the rays of the sun, which he swallows every day to shroud the world in darkness. This is how the Ancient Egyptians explain the notion of day and night. I've taken this as a sort of mini-project, so expect the whole Major Arcana spread of the YGO-verse in days to come :3 This deviation is dedicated to  This is my present for you, sweetie!  Phew, that was a mouthful.  Thanks so much for your time!  ENJOY! Yu-Gi-Oh! (c) Kazuki Takahashi Art by ~MooguriKlaine |

Anyways! Great idea with that tarot thing. I'm practising tarot myself and always find it interesting how people interpret the cards' meanings through different card decks.
I'm looking forward to the rest of the Major Arcana (do "The Lovers" next!
