Fanart: The Fool (SGA)
Title: The Tower
Artist: my_scheherazade
Rating: G
Spoilers/Ep. Tags: none
Medium: watercolor painting
Characters: Rodney McKay
Notes: This is card #1 in the Tarot deck: The Fool. I'm doing all of the Major Arcana (a section of the Tarot deck) with art from Stargate: Atlantis. Individual cards may be gen, but the overall series is McShep.
"Without the notion of Zero, our system of mathematics becomes meaningless. Similarly, the Fool is an essential part of the Tarot because he is the spark that sets everything else into motion, the divine breath that gives life and inspires the first step towards fulfillment and completion. Though the first step down a long path may often seem small in comparison to the journey, that first step is vital because without it there would be no journey at all! The Fool is the cause behind all effects, the power behind all manifestations and the seeds of the end sown in every beginning." [source, including images of traditional Tarot cards]
This is the first time I've ever used watercolor for a human figure so... practice makes perfect? Also, the scan made the colors a little wonky (as scans are wont to do.)
