https://artemsomnia.substack.com/p/20221214irangov01 I came back to this series and decided to do a reading on the Government of Iran. I say in my videos and will also write down, that to get “on the ground” facts and updates about what is going on, please go see trusted and independent journalistic sources. I will warn people that those supported by NGOs are secretly funded by both domestic and foreign governments and security forces. Currently, many journalists who release uncensored information are under threat and facing legal reprimanding from governments that want to silence them. This is happening virtually all “Western Democracies”, and not just the countries that have been made fun of and labeled as “tyrannical”. I can not tell you what to do and who to watch, I can only advise people to use their own discernment and intuition. And regardless of what we do, the wheel of time turns and the Universe continues to flow, with or without us. Timestamps: 05:07 Review and Summary of Reading Signifier Cards’ Message: Not wanting to move forward recklessly while also being very defensive, is preventing the development of new skills. This is related to skills that would help the civilians and country in general grow. Current Situation: They have a sense of harmony within the international stage and many things have come into light and they are able to start development of new projects and plans. However, they must come to terms with karmic fall out from many events. Energy in Development: The harmony within the International Stage is helping them overcome a sense of failure. They can not change what has happened and are faced with the resultant karmic fallout and all the worries that arise from it. It may also make it difficult for them to focus on the new projects they are working on. Challenges and Supports: They are faced with a lack of optimism with all the fast-moving events. It feels like there is a sense of dread with events that fall like attacks. What can help them is trying to not drown in the cultural tidal wave of events that is crashing through and destroying things. The changes that are happening are so harsh and fast that it may feel like things are falling apart, but this type of change can clear out a lot of what no longer serves both the people and the government. Of course, the challenge for the government is to still be able to swim with the cultural tide and oversee everything (without drowning). Expected Future Results They will be able to move to a better position from the new development on the international stage. Working through the karmic fallout while also developing new projects will make them less severe and perhaps also more reserved. After coming to terms and facing the fallout of events while bearing their worries. They will find a sense of inner guidance from deep introspection. Message from Grounding & Crowning Cards: If they are able to not trap themselves in a corner, frozen with despair, and reticence, then they will be able to move forward by working through everything. There is a lot of work to be done and being trapped or frozen does not help it. Thank you for reading my post, I hope it was helpful.

How will you come to terms with it all? Can you find a way to stop the fighting? Can you deal with internal conflict and dissonance. What will happen now? The Judgement card shows that now is a time to move carefully, taking into account all that has happened and all the destruction that has be made. Important decisions are to be made. One of the challenges they face is resolving any and all internal conflict because the external Western Hegemony is going through a process of breakdown (from my other readings). Current Situation: A sense of Justice pervades as they feel like they are finally getting the results they feel like they deserve for all the work they have done. The confirmation/affirmation, recognition and respect they feel like they deserve is there. However, it came at a time when their decision-making energy is unstable, and they have not organized or established concrete goals to work towards. And they also stopped putting time & energy into fake friends and backstabbers. Energy in Development: The Fool card has come up in many of my readings for Energy in Development or Expected outcome because with the collapse of the Western Hegemony, we are moving into a new world order. It is a time for New Beginnings, new challenges, and new experiences. They may feel naive and inexperienced in this new arena but so does everyone else. We can be lucky fools, unfortunate fools, or many things in between. We may feel like we are guessing as we wander forward according to our whims, wants and intuitive pulls. The Russian government will be trying to not act recklessly, it will move carefully as things are gradually revealed. It is a game of political chess where they watch the other players carefully and only make calculated movements based on what is revealed about their opponents’ actions. The secrets that were kept from them, are gradually being revealed, and with each revelation, they conserve their judgement and plan. However, they will be moving in a new playing field of which they lack experience. Expected Outcome: When dreams and illusions flood their head and ideals rise up to inspire them, are they able to work with the flow of information or will they be entrapped by them? The challenge shown by the Devil card denotes that the power that binds can both bring strength and also corruption. I feel like there is a Karmic Trial ahead of them, one that questions how they will wield the power bequeathed to them. They are being warned that a fool can easily fall for a trap. Grounding & Crowning Cards’ Message: What grounds them is developing new skill sets. I will interpret this as starting new infrastructure projects and builds that can improve upon what they are capable of doing. When guides them forward is planning and working with others (reliable allies and not the backstabbers they quit spending time on) as they build. Thoughts & Feelings: They think that they should emotionally withdraw from the international political drama and focus on taking care of their own: their people and their country. The Queen of Bones/Coins shows affection, and a benevolent caring for family. They feel like relations with the broken international family are hopeless. So they turn inward and work towards hopeful goals of improving domestic community. Break-up Recovery Analogy: After a bad breakup, they can be wary of getting into another bad relationship so they focus on taking care of themselves more. But it is still recommended to build positive connections to others that will help them recover from the hurtful betrayal. Can they move forward and work with new friends and connections or will they be trapped by dreams and ideals that do not allow them to embody the power of their potential?

https://artemsomnia.substack.com/p/20221208russianmilitary01 Another series of reading on BRICS because I feel like I should do an update of my reading from August 2022. And, back in September, I randomly shuffled and out of curiosity asked if there might be Full Mobilization in Russia. I got a yes and did not publish the result. I am mentioning this now because journalists are now talking about it and Western government seem keen on making Russia their enemy by calling it a ‘state sponsor of terrorism’. I will say that I think that LOGICALLY it does not make sense for Major Governments to start an all out war with each other because EVERYONE should know about the negative consequences that would bring. Therefore, full mobilization is Unlikely to me in a Logical sense. I am not going to do a reading on this because, as with ANY prediction practice, we see Possibilities and nothing is 100% absolute (except that all mortals die), there can be freak accidents, and upsets that change things in very unexpected ways. Key Card: Pain. The pain and suffering of everyone and everything. Everything we have done to ourselves, to each other, to the world. Pain can drive people to madness. It can hurt them beyond repair. But it can also make us stronger, and more durable, it can propel us to help others, to speak out, and to change things as we seek a more positive outcome, something that does not look as bleak as what we are watching unfold. Pain can be an impetus to move forward. It can be a training tool to scare someone away from something, it can be used to manipulate and oppress others and prevent them from moving on. Key Card Message: Anything can happen but things are on the positive side (adding in all other cards in the reading) Current Situation: They are working with what they know instead of learning new skills, which may be a distraction if they allocate resources improperly. There is a lot of work to be done and that is what they are focused on. There is also a moving away from ideals or perhaps a reassessment of what they had thought they wanted or could achieve. In general, The workload they have will be processed with practicality instead of idealisms. Energy in Development: The system is already well organized from experience and tradition and will be working with the established hierarchy of command in the development and manifestation of their military ventures. There is a lot of stuff (military operations??) that will be coming to fruition. Resultant Developments from Energy: The plan they have will be expanded upon with more branches or pathways. This may move away from what they had intuitively sought. The simple plan they had is becoming more complicated. They are moving into a more active state of doing instead of the passivity of having things done to them. The planning may become more aggressive. Expected Outcome: Strength and Power. However, this power is binding with the dominance and fear that it brings. The sun shines on their military which basks in its nurturing light. There is a sense of harmony that allows it to flourish. Plants grow very well when the conditions are right. However, a garden must be carefully maintained lest the start to grow wild. And with the appearance of the Devil card, it reminds and warns us all to be wary of dealing with a military gone wild. (Grounding Card is the Emperor : the rule of Law & Order having Dominion over the military to keep it in line so that it does not go wild ie proper discipline) The Crown of Power is heavy and crushing but the Strength card shows that they are strong enough to handle it, but it does require work to do so. Variables of Change: Deep self-reflection from all parties involved. Reflecting beyond the self. The Hanged Man is upside-down, it asks “Can you see the other side? Can you look at the situation from a different perspective?” Reflecting on whether the work they are doing is giving them a sense of fulfillment and security. The Happy Squirrel shows us that this work must be done. But they can try and find or do work that makes them “happy” intrinsically. In regard to the military, it could be military projects or actions that bring fulfillment after reflecting on the situation. Message from Grounding & Crowning Cards: What pulls everything together is a Dominant System (Emperor : Law & Order) that strongly wields, controls, manages and directs the Power of Military Might. What helps them move forward is emotionally withdrawing from the external world to focus inward. This brings emotional perspective that helps to maneuver through the emotional tug of soft power and distractions. Extra cards’ message: They are showing the world what they are capable of and it brings recognition along with exposure from which they can not withdraw. A blossoming recognition can being many political benefits. Being so exposed prevents them from quietly deciding or moving without disturbances.

Current Situation They are now making things (that they want) happen as what was planned by the system has fallen apart and the civilians are no longer going to give into the system anymore. Energy in Development The end of the old world order, that is, the ‘Western Liberal Hegemony’ (as online journalists call it) that the USA Government and military had with its 800 foreign military bases and USD dominated market is finalizing. This is causing the civilians of the USA to wake up to the situation where their country is no long Number 1 and they will now begin a new phase of which they do not have much experience in. They think that they should push onwards full force with what is driven by their inspiration while also feeling the new projects they are starting may seem reckless because they are dashing into the unknown. They don’t really know much about what they are doing, as symbolized by the fool card. But they have a strong driving force to keep going. Future Expectation The fall of the old world order is something that has been set and can not be changed. However, as the civilians awaken and begin to interact and work within the new environment they have woken into, they will see results which allow them to feel like they have received what they deserve for all the work they put into the making. They will also be less judgmental and also unable to judge situations accurately due to lack of experience with this new era. Grounding and Crowning Cards’ Message What pulls this all together is a delay in movements that were meant to happen fast. Some things will have to be put on hold now as the system they are accustomed to has fallen apart and they are at the cusp of a new era. What can help guide them forward is love and harmony. Harmonizing the self with the community, and the rest of the world. Thank you for reading my post, I hope it was helpful.

https://artemsomnia.substack.com/p/20221119usamilitary01 This time I put a lot more contextual and historical information in there that I kept out of the write-up because I am trying to keep the written version based more on what I read from the cards instead of what I personally know about history, military actions and politics. Video Timestamps: 00:57 Laying out the cards 02:30 Current Situation 03:07 Energy in Development 05:16 Expected Future Developments 07:42 Grounding 09:18 What changes & what stays the same 10:42 References to the USA Military & CIA working with extremist organizations 12:27 Future Challenges Current Situation: They are coming to terms with what they’ve done and trying to make better judgements from the acknowledging of their past. They are making wiser decisions based off of what they see, ones that take into account the destruction that has occurred in the past. But they are not seeing things clearly. What they see does not give them a hopeful view of the future and thus they are unable to be optimistic. They do not think things will go well for them. Energy in Development: As they work on future plans they will gradually restructure the skillset that is taught within the military itself, the objective review of the information shows that they have been lacking. They will be developing and gathering new resources that they may use in the future. When I try to read into what the resources are, I sense liquid capital, water, and electricity. The water & electricity I sense are symbolic of something. I am not sure of what they symbolize. In general, their future plans will be involving new resources and new skillsets. (While typing I thought of Oil for the water symbolism. What do you guys think?) Expected Future Results: What has been set into motion is not changeable at this point. Their hegemony over the world is ending, and they will feel like they are suffering from misfortune. However, they will be able to have a better logistical grounding. Note: I keep getting the Death Card in my readings, it signifies the end of the Unipolar World Order. Grounding: What pulls everything together is working with an understanding of and connection to the past; especially the people who have lived through it and learned valuable lessons that can help guide the current military through the situation it is in. What Changes & What stays the Same: They will overcome their upsets and will build up a strong foundation of resources that they can work with. But they will still ditch situations that aren’t working for them. They will leave conflicts unresolved and not truly help the party they were working with. So they will be giving “fake help”. This fake help leaves governments unstable and civilian situations in disarray. They like isolating themselves so they don’t have to worry about things or try to portray some idealistic military image to the world. They only portray an idealistic image of miliary life to the civilians within the USA and also worry about how they interact with the military. But they don’t want to worry about or get close to Foreign elements. Future Challenges: As the Unipolar World Order collapses, they will feel like they no longer have a good grasp on the world. In a sense “their world” which was the Western Hegemony, has fallen apart. Key Cards’ Message: But they are still happily working towards something and making things happen. I feel like this is the has to do with amassing liquid resources that will nourish their projects.

https://artemsomnia.substack.com/p/20221116saudiciv01 This reading was actually more challenging for me and I had to read the cards both vertical and horizontal to connect the sequence of events along with cause & effect. I hope my attempt to do a Tarot reading on the civilian situation in Saudi Arabi provides you with some helpful information. Video timestamps: 00:43 laying out the cards 01:32 staring the reading with current situation 03:07 Developing Energy 03:21 Expected Future 03:32 Grounding & Crowning Message 04:04 Putting it all together 07:51 How details on Developing Energy effects the situation 08:20 Going back to grounding & crowning cards’ message 09:23 more on challenges Current Situation: The current situation shows that they are withdrawing within themselves and not reaching out and emotionally connecting or helping others. There is either a lack of or distrust of inner wisdom as they follow the external world shows the or tells them to do. Society is in the process of leaving a situation and looking towards the future. Developing Energy: Things have been set in motion, and the results my be undesirable and there is a general sense of defenselessness as hidden secrets are being revealed. Expected Future: People will be sticking to tradition and what has been written for them to do, they may emotionally re-engage with the environment as they work on developing new skills. Grounding and Crowning Message: What grounds them is a lack of expected results for all the work they put in. What challenge they face in the future will be to be able to apply and show the skills that they have been developing. Putting it all together and linking it up the cards: Withdrawing and refusing to emotionally connect with or understand others can bring a sense of defenselessness due to a lack of understanding how to engage in or deal with others. That can cause someone to rely on tradition in how to they engage with others in society. Tradition or paths that have been laid out for them and decided on by authority figures. A withdrawal into intense self-care to the point of being unable to care for others will leave a really strong imprint on a person’s social sphere, like an undesirable reputation that leaves them out of certain things. Then the person must emotionally re-engage with the environment to understand what happened and deal with it somehow. When inner guidance is not available or rejected, a person will look outwards for truth and guidance. This constant looking towards others can cause hidden agendas and secrets to be revealed. Once a person learns of this, they can work on skills based on the information they found. The extra cards I pulled show that they left a situation that is no longer serving them and are now looking to the future. This brought about a sense of defenselessness and undesirable consequences, but it also revealed some useful secrets. Tradition still guides them as they seek to engage with others as they develop skills that are related to the information they uncovered. Revisiting Grounding & Crowning Cards + Details: There is a general lack of results shown in this reading and how people are very dissatisfied with what their work brings to them. They can still find a sense of balance with the flow of events despite of worries and lack of perception. But worries combined with a lack of perception is an undesirable combination and can lead people to bad judgement calls or overly aggressive judgementalism. Not being able to come to terms with the self and one’s personal history can blind a person to what they have done and how they can change their situation. Note: Overall, this was a difficult reading for me to do, it looked like a lot of things were held internally which blocked the showing of results in the external realm. Resolve is the word that came to mind. A lack of resolve and a leaning onto tradition. Thank you for watching my video. I hope it was helpful. Let me know if you have any questions or comments.

There is a cultural disconnect between the rule of the government and the cultural needs of the civilians. Like a lack of cultural unity or one that is not being nourished by the government. Current Situation: They are on alert as they’ve woken up from a restful mental break to realize that they are surrounded by [political] non-inspirational dead weight and fake friends. Energy & Plans in Development: They are working on new projects that will free them from whatever dead weight they have, so that they also won’t have to worry about the fake friends that are not protecting them. Expected Future Results: New projects are not looking successful. It seems like leaving the group of fake [political] friends has a penalty that makes it difficult for them to accumulate capital/resources/finances. But they will be able to work and or exist more harmoniously within their new political environment (due to not having to worry about lack of protection from fake friends). Changes & Holds: They are leaving the place they were at and moving to a better political situation where they will feel more intrinsic satisfaction with the work they do. It will be a lot of work but they will feel better about it. What stays the same is that they will still reign over the people/civilians, retaining the boundaries they currently have between politics & society, and they will not give in to the cultural waves & changes. Grounding Message: What pulls this all together and grounds them is the future and all the goals and dreams that they have. A challenge they may face is not over-focusing on one political path, and instead, looking at the various options and possibilities that are available to them. Thank you for watching my video.

https://artemsomnia.substack.com/p/20221115nato01 Video timestamps: 00:37 Key Card Message 01:26 Laying out the rest of the cards 03:21 Current Situation 04:02 Developing Energy 05:46 Expected Future Results 07:17 Changes and Holds Key Card Message They have stopped recklessly dashing into situations since the projects they have worked on have not come to fruition and they are now trying to work more harmoniously with the flow of international politics. Current Situation There is a balance of resources/capital/finances and they are letting themselves be gently influenced by inspiration and the cultural yearnings of their members as they have slowed down their pace of external action. They may start to move faster inwardly … internal action and planning within the group that is not shown to the outside. Developing Energy External plans and actions start coming really fast as they prepare to strengthen themselves and work within their own safety net. They are working to strengthen themselves as they do not have external strength. Expected Future Results The adequate balance capital resources has allowed them to move really fast but this pace may push them out of bounds with what they are comfortable with. Fast movement often makes people act more impulsively as they are pushed to make decisions on the fly. The gentle inspiration and cultural yearnings of the group have led them to focus on inner strength and that propels them past their sense of limbo as they move forward. The state in which they had slowed down has allowed them to stay and develop themselves within their safety net and thus they will have and focus on retaining adequate defenses in the future. Changes and Holds They are moving past a period in which anything can happen and now more certain or concrete things will be set into motion. They are also going to not going to base movements upon cultural ideals. Instead, they will be much more severely focused on keeping logistics based on reality. Which brings a tendency to overthink or be stuck in a mental jail full of information overload and questionable possibilities. This results in difficulty with manifesting what they want from the world and also not being able to rest or trust that things will be ok. They will try to overcome their upsets and disappointments with past and upcoming lack of results and will try to new partnerships and they work to be in political harmony with their environment. But this just be a very heavy load and with all the work there is to do, they may have disagreements or arguments amongst themselves as to how to remain politically at peace with the rest of the world while retaining adequate defensive capabilities. Especially when they feel like their goals or strategies either are or might be attacked by circumstances or geopolitical situations that are not in their favor. Thank you for reading my post.

Current Situation: What they had been working on with others is falling apart, they see the failures and feel them deeply but they are trying to stick to their ideals. Upcoming Changes: A lack of stability as routines are being disrupted. It will be a time of changes. But they will start to overcome their emotional upset over things. What stays the same: Not coming to terms with what has happened and not judging the situation properly. Yet they are able to retain their cultural unity as to what their Government and Country means to them Politically. They strongly believe in and adhere to their ideals. Convalescent Energy: They will start to see the truth of things and have an intuitive understanding of how things are. Logic and reason will inspire them. But they will have a foundational lack of or issue with resources and financial capital. Grounding & Crowning Message: They are not happy with the work they did and what resulted with it. They worked really hard and did not attain the results they had hoped for. They will be facing a loss of control. The world is not giving them what they want, the Government of the UK feels injustice towards their lack of results. This is a subjective feeling of injustice because they had expectations, ideals and a routine that is not being upset and overturned. Their hold or political hierarchy within the world is ending (End/Death of the Old World Order). What grounds them in this situation is Creative Manifestation since they are able to understand the truth behind things, but they are challenged with being mentally locked in the pain, knowledge and focus of and on their failures. When everything seems to go the “wrong way” they can not think beyond the loss, it can overwhelm them. But if they can distance themselves from this, and disassociate themselves from expectations and demands, they can still manifest with the creative forces of the World. Thank you for reading my post.

https://artemsomnia.substack.com/p/20221113usgov01 Video timestamps: 02:05 Key card message 02:11 Current Situation 03:00 Upcoming Changes 03:53 What stays the same 04:16 Convalescent Energy 05:46 Grounding & Crowning message Message from key cards: New projects are afoot but there will be delays. Current Situation: Currently the government of the USA is working on projects abroad and looking at as many options as possible, they don’t want to get stuck on one thing. They also have several successfully completed projects, ie ones that are showing good results. What May Change: They will try to be more grounded in logic & reason and they work on their logistics. They will try to not be swayed by feelings and to focus on clear thinking (mental aptitude), but they will be disconnected from an intuitive understanding of things. What Stays the Same: They will keep focused on the goals at hand and be working on them through the use of power over others (force & manipulation). Convalescent Energy: They will be working together with other groups to improve their political defenses and also to seek knowledge and wisdom within the outside world (because they realized that what they had perceived was invalid). When working with others they currently have an imbalance of finances & resources but they are optimistic about how things are going. They are looking on the positive side of things and not getting bogged down by disappointments even when their plans and preparations are not as successful when dealing with others. They are unable to give what others want to receive but they have decided to not worry about the problems at hand. Grounding & Crowning Message: What pulls it all together is a general lack of perception, an inability to see the truth or even to be hopeful of what the truth may bring. (They want to manipulate things because they don’t like what they see) In the future they will be faced with harsh changes. It will hurt. It may seem that, politically, things are falling apart.

https://artemsomnia.substack.com/p/20221109iranusagovts my substack has a written version of the reading as well as links to other readings in this series Timestamps: 02:35 Why the Game started up again 03:51 Reading on the USA’s Government 06:02 Talk about how a Government’s job is to manage the Civilians & their Communities 09:05 Reading about Iranian Government 12:17 How Groupwork enhances and empowers 14:48 How the rest of the world is going to re-engage Why has the Game started up again? After internally working through the emotional focus on failures of the past there is now a refocusing on what has worked out and what can be achieved in the future. They are moving out of isolation due to inability to accumulate capital/financial resources/goods and are overcoming the pain from previous political attacks. The reason why they are moving forward with this confrontation is because there is a sense of cultural unity that is pressing forward. They expect to move forward with engaging with the outside world and overcoming a sense of feeling broken. The USA’s Government: Currently they are unable to be optimistic about the results they foresee and are forcing themselves to focus on the work they need to do to get the future result they want. They are being more harsh and rigid because they do not see an optimistic future. They think that they can be attacked (politically) and have to keep preparing for this because they don’t see a plausible resolution that would help them attain logistical stability. Things don’t make sense and they aren’t seeing the whole truth because they are focused on preparing to be attacked. They USA’s government feels like they have protection from their community, supports them and their ideals and that things have stopped falling apart on the outside. There may be an internal crumbling of structure that is not in view but they are focused on their emotional connection with the ideals that protect and support them and their community for now. “supportive community” card is under the card for “thinking that they can be attacked at anytime”. “ideals are an important part of their identity, and that which they push forward with” card is right under the card for “inept mentality” and “inability to achieve mental fortitude” “everything has stopped falling apart” card is right under the card for “inability to see the truth” They plan to use the power of emotional pain and anguish to move the people. They are expecting to reach their goals but the future will show that the political defenses they have set up are adequate. The Iranian Government: They have a ideas and are actively working to put them in motion but they are having difficulty starting new projects and are having difficulty bringing plans and projects to fruition. They think that the understand and can work with the situation they have, there is a sense of harmony, but they are still have failures in mind and are unable to move forward with confidence. This lack of confidence can negatively affect the work that is done. They feel that anything can happen but are insecure of their ability to keep moving steadily forward and also of their ability to successfully complete financial/capital/resource plans. They feel like they are not as successful as they had planned for. “anything could happen” is under the “lack of self-confidence in movement” card “instability in drive and will” is under the “thinking over and still focused on failures” card “not being as successful as planned” is under the “understanding the situation and being in harmony with it” card They are planning to communicate (with who they need to for their plans) and move forward with a more focused, balanced and stable energy. The expected results is slow and cautious movement and the future they may face disharmony within. Grounding & Crowning Message There will be development between as they work together in a group. The Crowning Card is the World. In my video I said that hopefully this meant that they would be able to bring about some form of diplomatic stability. When I looked back at the reading I realized that this meant that what work is done will plant a seed that develops into a result that the rest of world will be involved in. I pulled more cards for clarity later and got that the rest of the world will step in and work on stabilizing the situation, they might not all get along but they will stay together and the past world order will end as we will transition into a new one.

In this video you can watch me paint as I explain the story behind my recent "la Luna" painting. A couple days ago I painted a digital image with a stag beetle holding a red eye. My original ideas was to have a red eye with a skull inside of it and the stag beetle was a random add on that I thought would look nice. I painted it red after thinking about how this image reminded me of the Moon Tarot Card with the red lobster underneath the moon. The final image looked ok ... I thought the skull looked silly inside of the eye but even though the whole thing looked better when it was just a normal red eye, I kept the skull layer visible because ... I had to have a skull in there lol. Then I thought "Why not just have the stag beetle holding the moon? And I can put a skull in the moon and it will look fine." So I started sketching this. While looking up images of stag beetles online I found out that there are over 1,000 different species of these, called Lucanids. The one I chose to paint is the Lucanus Elaphus. I also decided not to make it as red as a cooked lobster. The flashing red moon idea came at the end when I had finished the painting and wanted to add some animation before uploading. When I finished the painting I realized that the eyes and nose sockets were too small so I adjusted the whole thing digitally before making the animation. I am thinking of painting a Tarot deck based off of Entomology because I don't see one out there and I thought it would be neat. What do you guys think? But I had planned to finish a deck of black and white Lineart abstract cards for which I already have the thumbnails for. So the black & white Lineart deck has all minor arcana drawn out but no major arcana. This possible entomology deck has no thumbnails and nothing except this one la Luna card ... and I even have ideas for a pencil drawn tarot deck based off of macabre realism ... omg too many ideas What do you guys think?

Wishing everyone a Festive Day of the Dead 2022! Apologies for my late painting and tutorial. I have been sanitizing, cleaning and reorganizing my entire house which is taking up almost all of my time. Today I decided to take a break from cleaning so I have time to work on artwork and uploads. Here is a tutorial of the painting I did for Day of the Dead or Día de los Muertos. The video is longer than usual because the actual painting took me around an hour and a half to finish. My explanation is somewhat rushed in the video since I shortened it by a lot. I started off with a white underpainting under all main objects : three candles, sugar skull, pan de muerto. Then I painted some cream and white coats on the candle before moving onto the sugar skull. I painted another layer of white and then added some colorful frosting, and lights and shadows, then moved back to the candles. When I went back to the candles I had found a video on youtube of three candles that had three candles in this exact position (see video here https://youtu.be/tcQQbd_vIfc ) And since it was very orange and warm I repainted the candles accordingly. I was getting a little frustrated over the paint texture so I adjusted my painting to be a modified version of the source video. I painted on alternating layers of yellow cream, orange cream, orange, and warm gray shadow. I did not make this as dark as the source video because that would change the lighting of the other elements. Candle flames are two layers of creamy orange, on layer of creamy yellow, an orange rim and white center. I added the orange rim so that it would not blend in with the candle body. When I went back to the sugar skull I put another layer paint on some of the frosting to make it brighter and then added more light and shadow before painting in crinkled candy wrapper in the eye sockets because of the source photos I saw looked like there was candy stuffed in the sugar skulls. The bread was painted from a mix of the light and medium brown tones in my jelly gouache palette with a creamy yellow highlight on the topping and a dark brown shadow on the underside of the frosting and bread. The marigolds are orange and yellow blobs that were layered with creamy yellow or creamy orange and then highlighted with creamy yellow for the orange marigolds and white for the yellow marigolds.

Finally got around to painting an official Halloween image that wasn't part of any art challenge or prompts list. Pumpkin Head : I start with a watery Light orange base, then a watery orange overlay, and a less watery dark grey orange. Then I interchange between these three according to which color I think I need most. If I have too much of one tone, I paint over it with another and blend them. I keep the water content of my brush low so that there is more paint pigment that piles on top of the bottom layer without creating a puddle and or ruining the paper. Body: I tried covering the whole outfit in a straight blue and then added highlights and shadows but the blue was blending into the background so I made the entire outfit a lighter grey blue, then added dark grey blue for shadows and then added pale blue for highlights. Hands : Orange like the pumpkin Swords : creamy yellow base with creamy lavender highlights and a dark grey blue body line to contrast Feet : cream orange, flat orange, dark grey orange NInjas : creamy lavender Thank you for watching my video!

Part of a series of pieces I made for the #castlearts #halloweenprompts It has been a while since I've made an animation. This was fun. I haven't animated in a while because I was really sick but now I'm finally recovering.

I painted this still life "Samhain Blessings" on black paper and recorded the process. The original video is 40 minutes long but I shortened it to 4 minutes. I also took a photo of this and added animation in photoshop which you will see at the end. With this painting I went slower. I was actually sort of rushing when I painted the cauldron but I stopped trying to meet some imaginary deadline for now. I started with the skull and slowly added on the layers. You can see me start with a light more watery base layer of creamy orange, and then I add on thicker and less watery layers of warm creamy orange and towards the end I added on shadows which were grey + creamy orange or black + creamy orange. When the layers of paint are thick enough I can blend them together with a slightly moistened paintbrush. The lighting is determined by where the light source it and what parts of the object it will hit when it travels in a straight line towards it. Parts of the object that catch the light create a shadow for areas that are blocked by it. Then I move onto the selenite candle holder. This one has a lot of layers because selenite is semitransparent and there is a tea light candle inside of it. I happen to have this selenite candle holder at home so I use it as a reference often. It is something I can look at so much that I can memorize what it looks like. Once again I start with a base watery cream, then I add on alternating layers of very warm-orange-red and very creamy-white paint. At the end I add on highlights and darkest shadows. Selenite has lots of texture so the layering of many different colors creates the effect I am seeking. The tea candles are little cream circles with warm orange tones and a flame in the center. Then I just randomly paint in the metal casing of the tea candle and add a little arbitrary light and shadow according to what should be brightest and darkest in the still life. At the very end I add on some lighting on the floor with a light cream base and dark shadows. The photoshop animation was fun to make also :) Thank you for watching my video!
