Queen of Swords
🕑 Added 2025-09-08 17:48:50 +0000 UTCHello everybody.
I hope you are having a great late summer. I finished the next tarot card a few minutes ago.
For this card, I chose a snow leopard as the queen proudly wearing the most precious crown in the whole ice kingdom, extra fluffy fur for protection against frosty times, and demonstrating strength. A necklace with an icy sword pendant is the other part of the jewelry as a subtle warning.
The element air and endless freedom of thought in the snow leopard's mind are symbolized by the two butterflies sitting on the crown. One of the butterflies has a warmer color tone to emphasize the duality of "Your Majesty". The queen is independent, intelligent, and self-sufficient, often seen as cold or distant. Therefore, the paw on the right side of the painting shows claws and is in a defensive position. The other paw looks more relaxed and gracious. In the background, we can see sword and ice-like shapes with abstract patterns.
Queen of Swords was created with Krita and Blender (the crown).
The card will complete the Suit of Swords. Then everything will be about cups until the tarot deck is complete.
Now there is no time for a real break, the next Ubuntu release is almost here :). Ideally, I would love to post the artwork at the same time if the creative spirit lets me.
As always, thank you so much for your support. <3
