My artist for this feature is

:iconhewhowalkswithtigers:

It's time I featured some photography again, and so would like to introduce a fabulous animal photographer. As his name says his main work focuses on big cats, and he does an awesome job capturing them, not just their appearance, but their inner soul, and to me that's what makes the difference between a good and a great animal photographer.





Well, I finished all my Tarot court cards, and before I proceed with posting my Majors I wanted to share my final allocation of cards as there were a few changes along the way:

0 The Fool --- Colin Creevy with the basilisk behind him
1 The Magician --- Harry with the horcruxes
2 The High Priestess --- Minerva McGonagle
3 The Empress --- Lily Evans holding baby Harry
4 The Emperor --- James Potter and his animagus stag
5 The Hierophant --- Albus Dumbledore
6 The Lovers --- Lupin and pregnant Tonks with the moon
7 The Chariot --- The Hogwarts Express
8 Justice --- Umbridge with her feather
9 The Hermit --- Severus Snape
10 Fortune --- The Sorting Hat in front of the jars of the 4 houses
11 Strength --- Hermione and Buckbeak
12 The Hanged Man --- Snape’s worst memory
13 Death --- The veiled gate at the Department of Mysteries
14 Temperance --- The Weasley Twins with a box of bad and curative sweets
15 The Devil --- Voldemort with Wormtail and Bella chained
16 The Tower --- Dumbledore falling off the Astronomy tower
17 The Star --- Hogwarts under a starry sky
18 The Moon --- Sirius and Lupin as wolf and dog howling at the moon
19 The Sun --- Fawkes taking flight
20 Judgment --- The wizengamot in session
21 The World --- Harry with the Deathly Hallows

In other news :iconartisticaunjuli: has asked some of her mates to support a move to have DA not just sell prints but start a store for original artwork as well. All of you crafters out there, this should be important. No one buys a print of a necklace or a pair of earrings to hang on their wall, so the only way you can really make some money off your stuff is to hawk the actual piece!

If this is your cup of tea, check out this site and vote. [link]

That is one great photographer you have managed to find! I love photographs of big cats. I have always found them to be very majestic and elegant in their movements. I especially like lions!

I just love your take on the Harry Potter novels/movies to make a Tarot deck. I have full confidence in you when making the rest of the cards. They will be just as wonderful as the court cards. Have you given any thoughts to what you want to do with the pip cards? You said you didn't plan on making any characters for those cards.

It surely sounds like a good idea with the store. Then the artists would be able to sell their original artworks as well. I hope something will come out of it. There are so many talented artists here at DA, they deserve being able to make a little money out of their beautiful deviations.

I hope everything is well with you and your family. Is work doing okay or is it still very busy?

All the best, Linda!

I simply cant wait to see Snape and McGonagal mostly. All the others too by the way!

I hope you plan on marketing this deck, I want a signed set! Perhaps a couple as I have avid wican HP fan friends, and these will make incredible gifts...I am not sure that it will be available by August for sale, or I would use them for wedding party gifts!

Lovely photographer - thanks for sharing some of his images. I have voted on the DA sales thing - I (personally) think it would be wonderful. And I TOTALLY love whom you have chosen for the cards! WOW! I can't wait to see the completed deck series! You have done some fabulous drawings for them so far. :excited:

That's a great idea for Deviant Art to support original work, and I'll certainly vote. :D
Your tarot deck is shaping up very nicely, and your recent jewellery is stunning.
Also, if you like wildlife photography and film, I must point you at Kim Wolhuter's work [link] his wildlife diaries are well worth reading. Unfortunately, he's not on Deviant Art, as far as I know.
