wow awesome work!!!

That's so interesting to have two entries about the same card in this contest, but the approaches are on the opposite ways, one goes to heaven and one goes to hell, what a coincidence! About this work I love everything from the composition, colors and details, especially the river of zombie. The design of the angel is awesomely cool, I always want to make an angel like that. The words don't work well for me tho, and I think because of the constraint in time you decided to use them. Very nice, and high mark from me!

Oh *sigh* beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. The way you have the lighting, the pontoon coffin-raft, the sentries by the gate...everything. I love your vision of card 13 and want to see the rest of the deck.

A personal question, if I may. Have you taken art classes or are you self-taught?

amazing work, love all the little details

Awesome! GL

Very well done but have to agree with Langstum on the lettering , doesn't fit real well into your image. The lower numerals should be toned down some also as they are a bit distracting. But I love your scene and the quality of your work is very good.

i love the detail ,good luck!

Definitely agree on the text, I wanted to use a boney texture, but it somehow came out metallic, due to a certain chain of events yesterday I had to settle with this.

Super work.

WOW!!! Last minute work??? You should do EVERYTHING LAST MINUTE if it always comes out this great! Nice work!!! ;0)

Wow that's impressive, even tho i don't like the text form. The illustration looks stunning!

Fabulous entry, great execution...simply perfect...i did not expected nothing less from u author...well don

Thanks a bunch for the compliments and the crits everyone .

IDt8r Sorry for not responding sooner, I am currently a student, but I'm self taught in digital painting, apparently now matter how much it is used in the industry, some schools including mine find it less of an art form and only have a few classes that allow digital painting.

Congrats for your first place! Your talent is amazing!

Well done and congrats on the win

Congratulations! I'm so glad you decided to enter. I admire and enjoy your art work very much. You have the ability to "see" how things are supposed to go, something I'm still working on. If you keep entering these contests (please), maybe I can learn a thing or three from you.

Congrats Phil another stunning piece of work

Congrats Phill, so now I have one more painting to learn from, thank you so much for joining this contest.

congrats

congrats

amazing one

fantastic work.

Wonderful. I'm loving the lighting on the back and front of the figure, the splash of bright fire-magma in the corner, the way you have small bits of the poor guy flying off him. I especially like the roman numeral 13 almost hidden in the background.

You must be young. I've found that Death isn't nearly so scaring looking, the older we get.

I Love the "up take" of his soul from above and creepy hands pulling him from below....Awesome!

super, good luck!

Great image and well done. good silhouette style

great........

lol I thought this was you, glad to see you in this contest, great work .

You really did well in the composition and the colors, and the impact on the visual narrative.

The only crit I have is the moon and the tree, the tree seems abnormally warped to fit the countiours of the moon. I'm not sure if this s a design related element or composition related, but the branches of the tree might appear a lot more sinister by adjusting the contrast from the light on the moon.

Cool.

Brilliant work!!

Amazing work...2 death in the battle for the 1st place...best of luck author

Wicked-Cool!!! GL!!

Congrats for your brilliant second place! I'm sorry, that my magic didn't work this time :S

congrats on the runner up spot, nice entry langstrum .

Langstrum, I love your imagination and the way you put it to use. Congratulations on second place. BTW, I just noticed the hands coming up from the mist. Another wonderful touch on an excellent entry!

Thanks everyone for your comments, critiques, faves and congrats, I'm always happy to see your responses. I wanted the Death to be scary, but somehow I didn't complete my goal, maybe because I'm not scared by it. I so glad to have a chance to compete with jackaloftrades because I've learned much from him, the artist that I really admired from the early period of my study in digital painting. Really exciting to see some similarities or coincidences in this contest. I'm happy with the runner up place, that means I have to work more and more. Thank you IDt8r for your observation, that's nice to know somebody find out the details that I tried to show in the picture. Have a nice new week everybody ^^

congrats

Congrats ... I find this truly frightening ... the hands in particular just have the other side of human feel to them that gives me the shivers. Bravo!

really inspiring entry........ Love the lighting and the pose....... Congrats buddy.....

Your idea is really well represented.

very nice work...gl

This makes me want to see the rest of the deck. Well done!

very nice work author, GL

It looks very classic and somehow it doesn't have the digital looking in my eyes. Somehow the stroke on the top of the hammer was lost. Nice work in general, would be wonderful if you make the others. Good luck!

Congrats for your third place, Roon!

way to go go Roon !

Congrats! I'd still like to see the rest of the deck.

Congrats Roon, but you're deserved the better score, I think

congrats

congrats

Very nice work

WOW!!!! Not sure that fortune is gonna be good but this work is GREAT!!!

Fantastic drawings and great colors author...best of luck

Great work, it took time for me to understand all the messages in this piece. The symbols of horoscope are easily recognized but I didn't think about the months at the first glace (silly me). And then I realized that you indicate the time by the change of the branch through 4 seasons. The four animals were chosen carefully because they belong to 4 domains of animal kingdom: invertebrate, fish, bird, mammal, not mention the mankind (maybe because I'm biologist lol). I just don't understand why you chose skeletons to make the image. Nice card and good luck to you.

Yea! You figured it out! You missed the four elements, tho. I choose skeletons because there's a cat tarot, a dragon tarot, a modern art tarot, Rider Waite tarot (my fav, because its filled with symbolism) cubism tarot, but I don't believe there's a bone tarot (for good reason, I think lol). Thank you, langstrum. You made my day.

Wonderful GL

Nice work! GL!

I still like it.

Thank you for your votes and comments!

Nice work... should have known when I saw who it was!

very nice work
lots of work in this! u made this in illustrator?

@Nisha...No I did this in coreldraw

ok anyways its great!

thanx

YEA!! IT'S BACK!

So cool shapes and very nice combination of colors...and this Tarot set looks very positive...good luck author

That's the unique work, not many people here can manage well the vector image as what you did. The arrangement of shapes, curves and colors is very well done. You must have the eyes of a designer. Nice looking and elegant image, congrats!
