SO I know I said that this project will probably take forever, if I ever get around to finishing it, but even so — if I want to get started on it, I need to know what everyone would like to see for their character!
The Tarot cards shown in Inquisition are based on the typical Major and Minor Arcana, and I'd like to follow a similar path. So, if you would like a card, read the following, and give me some of the info I'll need to craft a card for you!
First off, I want to try working with the Major Arcana only. Since every Major Arcana card has a very specific meaning, it would be awesome if you could take a look here and tell me what card you think best fits the character you'd like represented in your card! (Try to keep it one card per character—so if someone chooses the Fool, try to pick another card that might also fit so we don't have any doubles).
Once you decide what card you'd like your character to represent, tell me WHAT about that card fits your character (for instance, perhaps the fact that The Tower represents "sudden change" is something that you feel resonates with your character). That way I know what "meaning" to focus on when I do a sketch!
And speaking of "meaning," many Major Arcana cards are typically represented in certain ways (for instance, The Moon almost always has a dog and a wolf howling at a face in the moon, or the Chariot is always pulled by two lions or sphinx). Let me know what symbols you'd like represented along with your character in their card. (Maybe replacing a lion figure with an ox for a qunari, or a dog with a mabari, or a sun for the Chantry sun, etc.)
Lastly, of course I'll try and work with whatever posing and symbolism I can, but if there's a certain pose, expression, or anything else you'd like for your character to have on their card, let me know! For instance, maybe you want their face to only be visible from the nose down with a mysterious smile on their face, or you want them shown from the side, or the back, or with their arms crossed—anything you feel you'd like to mention! I'll try to incorporate your vision into the card if I can.
[Remember, I'm trying to keep it to one card/character per person, so make sure you choose your character before you start to think about all of the above!]
I'll keep a list of claimed cards here:
Canden (The Inquisitor) - The Moon
Macha - The Chariot
etc.
