Artist's Comments

An entry in the Seventh Sanctum's Tarot Contest.

The Philosopher of Chains symbolizes the dangers of narrow-minded thinking, and the constraints of the human mind. When upright, it signifies a mental block of some sort on the part of the querent - an obstacle preventing his or her creativity from flourishing. This most commonly manifests as Writer's Block.

The card reversed signifies the opposite - an unfettered, open mind, possibly even chaotic in its lack of restraint. This can mean one of two things: a period of extremely vivid imagination, or a degeneration into madness.

Alternately, it could just be a small rectangle of paper with a chained-up sophist on it. :XD:

Theory: everyone on dA is either crazy or suffering from Writer's/Artist's Block, and most are both. Thus, this card can never be wrong.

Also, thanks. :XD:

Kira-L-showdown(aka. friend): See, he thinks you look like L!
Me: Maybe that's cause he's half blind.

I'm working on - The Angel of Chains. I like your colour scheme and the rendering of the image. Best of luck.
And to you as well! :D
