Chrono Tarot

[xcalibur]

coming back to this, I think I've finally figured out the card choices for the major arcana, aces, and court cards for a chrono-themed tarot deck. there's still room for debate (mainly on fool/magician and the knight of cups) but for the most part, I think this has been perfected. I'm posting this here to make it more visible to anyone who wants to run with this or contribute.

Thanks to Syna and others for their contributions.


MAJOR ARCANA

Fool - Chrono (the Player?)
Magician - Norstein Bekkler (Chrono instead?)
High Priestess - Schala (flanked by beast/girl zeal statues instead of pillars)
Empress - Queen Leene
Emperor - Azala
Hierophant - Gaspar (in red Zeal robes, with chrono/marle/lucca/robo instead of acolytes)
Lovers - Crono & Marle (under Leene's Bell)
Chariot - Epoch (white and black exhaust streams)
Strength - Ayla (closing a sabertooth tigers mouth)
Hermit - Belthasar
Wheel of Fortune - Time Gate (w/ kilwala, bullfrog, poyozo doll, cat, nu, doreen/dream species)
Justice - Frog w/ Masamune and Hero's Medal
Hanged Man - Robo (in Fiona's Shrine or being fixed by Lucca)
Death - Lavos (crashing into tyrano lair or destroying zeal, but not 1999)
Temperance - Melchior (repairing the masamune w/ dreamstone)
Devil - Magus (Ogre and Naga-ette in chains)
Tower - Mammon Machine (w/ Ruby Knife in it, and lightning as seen ingame)

[xcalibur]

going over this again, I added an illustration suggestion for hanged man/Robo. while both would fit, the 600ad sidequest and particularly his speculation on the Entity best fit the Tarot definition. on the other hand, you might prefer to depict Robo in the future.

so there's room to make a few more adjustments, especially knight of cups and player/magician. but for the most part, I think this is perfected.

I just want to say that I enjoyed contributing to something on here, even if its a minor project that ended up getting stalled. however, with the list I posted + other content, this could be done at any time. all it needs are artists who want to create content.

If only I could draw! My skills are limited to spriteing sadly. Well a bit of painting. Suppose I could try to create a  watercolor one as a test. I'd love to see this come to life again.

Reminds me of this.

those are well done. if this gets active again, I'd like the final product to look something like that (but why Magus as Death? he's obviously the Devil).

as I've said before, I can make detailed arguments for every one of these choices. if someone comes along with different ideas, I'd like to confer with them first (and maybe drag Syna in too).
