The Tarot Project.
The alternative reality project is the combining of the two universes
seen on the Plymslayer RPG boards, the Plymslayer universe and the Guardian
universe. It takes existing Plymslayer and Guardian characters and changes
their world settings, what if the Slayer line stopped and what if no
more Slayers were called? Would people still be the way they are, would
they still fight for good, or would they change sides?
The Alternative reality asks these questions and tells a new story
along the lines of the classic Arthurian legend. The Slayer line is
gone and evil has a new face, that of Alice Tyler the chief assassin
of the midnight society. The balance looks grim, but there is hope,
the Guardian Mage Max Thames has a plan and a sword, bringing with him
the sword of the King, Excalibur, and Dave Lytton, the one man who can
use the sword, he seeks to sort out the Balance. Told over a ten year
period the Alternative reality brings all the major characters within
the two universes together, to tell a new and different story.
The tarot project is based on the Alternative Reality writing project.
These illustrate the story and the characters. The 22 cards of the Major
Arcana are used to represent pivotal moments within the story or important
characters. The underlying meaning of each card remains and helps add
to the illustration.
All the illustrations have been done using two programs, Corel Painter
7, Adobe Photoshop 7, and a Wacom Volito graphics tablet. All the work
is free hand and done in most cases without reference. On average each
card takes about 6 hours.
