The last of the Tarot Minor Arcana suits and the last of the Tarot matching series. Pentacles pushes us further to legendary/out there characters (Gods, etc.).

Here is the second to last Tarot Minor Arcana suits, second to last in this entire series.

For Reiesu’s next commission, I had an even better idea: Xinlara. Xinlara, as in, Cyclone’s Vacore name, as in Cyclone when he was alive and young. It seemed so provocative and daring to do Xinlara. Like…doing something forbidden. I don’t know, it’s about...
I actually drew a pretty decent amount in 2020! There was a lot I didn’t put on the website until now. I didn’t realize I had pretty steady output of art this year. I think the Apple Pencil helped keep it up. Only three months I didn’t draw anything.
