taratemimaWhat have I gotten myself into?
I drew somewhat when I was a kid. Scribbled on all sorts of paper bags, even got second place in an art contest in second grade. However, I never really learned to draw accurately. So, I grabbed a bunch of links and a book on cartooning. However, I had no project.
At the same time, I was developing a substantial Unknown Armies campaign. Short summary: one extended family, two adepts, several avatars, an ascension cabal masquerading as your standard wacky Left Coast celebrity cult, two archetype cabals/charity organizations, an Otherspace, a demon, and a foretold mass murder of said family. None of it based on a real family or a certain cult, at all. I told some of you about the characters and background. I subconsciously linked some of the characters to specific Tarot cards. Over time, I managed to link 78+ (some cards have two or three people there) characters to these cards. I may not make them into actual cards, and this is going to sound weird, because some of the characters have beliefs against divination. I rather not make it look like they endorse what they do not.
I made myself a schedule of free drawing, getting references, drawing more of it, writing the character's biography and why I linked that card to them, and showing it off.
I cannot get started on the first card. Or the first sketch. Logically, I should start with one card, but which one?
Just as well. I still have to research outcomes of letters sent to politicians and finish A+ certification classes. But that idea still sticks like gum on the shoe.
