Get Backers Tarot Cards
As the title says, here is a set of 22 homemade Get Backers tarot cards. Some images are from Dakkanya.net and some of the rest are by yours truly. Mwha.

^^ Enjoy...















What can I say? I got bored in Psychology class. ^^;

Oooooooh. Particularly pleased with the choices for the Hermit, the Devil, the Tower (even if it is mind of obvious... the image is fantastic for it, too), and the Moon. Also think the choice of Ban for Strength is fab, but would have used an image where the snake is winding around him.

(And, well, since I'm following the manga I'd feel compelled to put Amon in for Death, but working with the anime only Akabane is good.)

I was going to use a "snake" picture for Ban, but I wanted to use an image that showed that Ban's strength in from within.

><; Not sure if that makes sense.

Anyway, glad you liked them. ^^

You included Clayman. That means I must love you forever. (And the Magician has a special signifance only my second in command knows of, so double points.)

Clayman doesn't get the attention she deserves. Ah. What a wonderful character.

http://aliasclayman.puddleofgoo.com (I need dreamweaver so I can update it again.)

For some bizarre reason she's my favorite character. Subjectively, anyway. Objectively I will always say I wish I'd thought of a character like Himiko first.

What a wonderful site. *waves Clayman flag*

This is going to sounds weird, but I remember you from the Digimon fandom. ^^;

Don't get me started on Himiko. I adore her, and I dislike most female characters with a passion. Gah. On a random note, her shirt doesn't like being made. ><;

I am shopping for a Clayman raincoat for when I hide at the con I am supposed to be a guest at this summer. I can't even find one in the same basic shape that has a hood...

And it's not strange. No matter how hard I try to disassociate myself from that horrible time of my life where I commited every fanfiction sin, people are there ready to confront me on it. ^_^; (I don't really mind that much, as long as people don't ask me where those fics are.)

I'm quite fond of your choices for The Sun, The Fool and The Emperor (mostly because those are my favorite characters, especially The Fool, Emishi Harukinja! XD).

Anywayz, Pan, you're amazing. Much love, Missy. ^.^

If only I knew what tarot cards represent. >.>

And I could make those cards realistic...maybe they'll release Get Backers tarot cards one day in North America. *heh*

For a brief guide, check Becky's site *winks*

It would be cool if they made official tarot cards with new art and evrything. I'd buy them in a second. ^^

I'm not online where I am (library) for much longer, so I'll save my in-depth comment for when I get home. For now I'll just say that this is really well-done concept, and you clearly put a lot of time and thought into matching character relationships as well (or it may be some lucky coincidences) (i.e. The Hierophant and The High Priestess are considered a bonded pair, as are The Wheel of Fortune and The Star *tarot freak*) My only query is The Magician and The Hermit, they seem crossed. (The Hermit is actually a very mobile card, whereas it's The Magician that represents a stationary person.)

Emishi rules. Great shot, and he really does represent reversal of roles and motives. His personal experiences with Shido most notably.


^_^ And would you have any objections to me doing some crop and resize work to turn these into a set of icons, to go proudly in my new [info]terricons page? (As well as here in the community of course. ^_^v)

*returns, head hung low in frustration* Ok... what font did you use?
-_- Initial attempts to make these into icons have been less than productive. Namely, the font bcomes unreadable once the image is resized (Yes I know gif's are touchy about that, that's why I was working on bitmap copies). Emishi's came out fine, but once I tried Clayman, it meshed together into an unreadable blob.

Help? T_T

Very nifty. *thumbs up* Though I'm curious - why Yamato for The World? Seems an odd choice to me. Similarly, I'm curious why Himiko is the Empress; my first instinct would have been Sakura for the archetypal Mother, although she makes a lovely Star, too.

Ma na...makes me want to commission art for an actual deck! Ah, if only money wasn't such a problem. ~_^

I'm not sure why I made Yamato The World. It seemed to fit. I guess it what I see in him.
