Riel's Character Card (New)
🕑 Added 2023-12-17 19:05:26 +0000 UTCAfter four years, the entire set of revamped character cards is finally complete... And what more fitting way to cap the whole thing off than with this absolutely BALLER depiction of Riel?!?!?! ππππ
He leaves me speechless... I'm obsessed with this card! The artist Mafuriah always captures exactly how I envision the characters while going absolutely HAM on their themes and motifs! Riel's arcana is a mix of the Emperor and Judgment--he sits on a throne while surveying the chess pieces before him, which are beginning to turn golden at his touch, an indication of his status as a self-made businessman--the implication of the curtains point to both his love of theater and opera and how he operates on a kind of global and political stage--the chess pieces in the background symbolize power, while his left hand rests on his Merchants Guild cane... I LOVEEEEEEE *inhales this card whole*
What do you think? ππ€ I can't believe that after all this time, the character cards are finally done!!! I'm absolutely thrilled with them, and I'm so happy you all got to vote on them and be a part of this wonderful, lovely process. Now that they're all done, do you have any favorites? Did any of their motifs and symbols surprise or intrigue you?
I hope you enjoy, and please leave any of your thoughts and comments below! π₯°
