Tarot Deck - Strength (color)

So as every artist must I started a series of drawings with the intention that I would make an entire deck using characters from various roleplays. It was an ambitious undertaking and after several of my favorite images from the lexicon of Tarot imagery I said "oh look, a shiny" and promptly forgot what I was doing.

This however, is a piece I worked on for some time. It went through many incarnations to end up here. As usual, there are things I would fix and others I love to bits. This was colored with copic markers and only recently scanned for the deviantart community.


Meaning: (borrowed from [link] )

I would also like to note...she is not tiny. That's just a huge freaking lion.
