(2008) 5 1/2" x 10 1/2" Pencil on Paper. Processed and framed in Photoshop.
I was pretty sure from the start that Minerva McGonagle would make the High Priestess. I really just used the traditional imagery for the card, where she has a book in her lap and sits between a black and a white column with a veil suspended between them.
For the body and dress I used an image from
Traditionally the High Priestess symbolizes the wise woman, the protecress and the anima. She stands for inner wisdom, knowledge of the mysteries of life and death, patience, seclusion, independence and self-reliance, calm and serenity.
Minerva works a lot of her power and influence in secret and not necessarily through the official channels. She rarely has to stand up out in the open, but she will do so if pushed to extremes, like when she defends Sibyl Trelawney against Umbridge... Her animagus from as a cat works well with the femimine and lunar aspects of this card.
Very lovely abit old IMHO for the high priestess card, I see her a lil more youthful as well as wise. ^^.
In my deck, the ones i use, she is more like a fancy lil trollop because she is the one who will give you her favor if you please her. I use the celtic deck. I forget the artists name i will check later if you want to know.
Oh yes, Minerva is great... I always liked her, even though I imagined her a bit younger than Maggie Smith... then again, this is the sort of actress that is above age and other not important things, always fabulous
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
