This is intricate work. What exactly does it represent?, love the colours and that it looks like a door you must walk through, you say this is a card?, different I must say, there is a lot to see here, I like it and it caught my eye

    Thank you for your kind review. Its fantasy, and the design of a Toltec Indian tapestry in my book, The Ghost Tree. The name of the tapestry is The Threads of Fortune, so my idea was to experiment with making hybrid fortune telling and playing cards to go with the book... https://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Tree-Tonantzins-Blessing-ebook/dp/B08QHPHKRG

Comment from Mr Jones


that is such a grand design and very suitable for the field in which it will surely be success. the various animals and exotic creatures + the very colourful traditional outfits. they all come together and the central focus beams out such positive energy.

    Thank you indeed! I wrote this to another reviewer: Yes, I was thinking on doing a kind hybrid concept based on a regular 52 card deck only. This image would simply be on the card covers. I was thinking of trying to invent a couple of actual card games -- not just spreads, that would result in a fortune being told for the winner of the game at the end . Not serious, just a game... ideas welcome! One game might be called something like Who gets the Gift and so on. The gift might be a face down card selected from the deck that is not part of the game, or even three unknown face down cards. Or maybe as the game progresses the players add a card to the pile the other players haven't seen. Again, ideas welcome!

First of all I must say I love your concept. It is a beautifully illustrated card with character and interest. I am unfamiliar with this particular card in the tarot readings. You have presented it very well. Great colors and detail. I will have to check out your amazon video.
Well done here. Thank you for sharing.

Great imaginative painting with superb details and the lively colors that become even more beautiful with the sunshine in the upper center and as the final frame.
The composition of all picture perfect images are beautifully framed with multiple frames - so nice!
Thank you for sharing.

For creativity top marks. The idea of playing cards is a good on3. This design lends itself to that concept. I enjoy your designs to your authorship. They have a styk3 which is yours. This one has attractive colour tones, is very balanced and very interesting. Much to look at and enjoy. Good luck with your ventures. I will take up the link.

This card design is decorative. The colors are attractive and draw the eyes of the viewer. The mysterious symbols ignite the fantasy of the viewers. The story of the Ghost Tree seems interesting. I believe publishing those cards would help to sell your picture book. The card is excellent composed and framed. The composition is balanced.
