I had some technical difficulties last minute (a corrupt file, RIP), so I'll probably be posting a more thorough version Soon™.The Unattended Cracker wrote:This Secret Santa comes in two parts; the art, and the explanation.
In a tarot reading, The Hermit typically is an indicator distancing oneself from their surroundings and taking time for some introspection. It's a signal for one to be alone to seek truth, and to sort out whatever quandary they may have without the numerous opinions of others clogging the process.
Personally, it's one of my favorite cards in the deck and one that I felt related to Kelson the most out of all other options.
However, I have turned this particular card upside down. In tarot readings, cards in 'reversed' positions often take more negative connotations. In the case of a reversed Hermit, it can mean that one has isolated themselves to an unhealthy degree or that on the path to seeking answers one has lost their way.
This definition felt more accurate to me, since the last time I had interacted with Kelson he was very much over his head in pursuit of truth. He saw things no one should, and felt alone in the suffering resulting from prophetic visions of eldritch horrors. He closed himself off from most of his friends, and very much became a Hermit.
I'm sure he's grown past this since then (after all, it's been some months), but I felt that it would be more meaningful to draw him as I remember.
A few notable pieces of symbolism include;
A crystal ball containing a six-pointed star. On a traditional card, the Hermit would be carrying a dim lantern to light his way (often depicted with the star within). As my first interaction with Kelson was to gift him a crystal ball that depicted the night sky when not in use, I felt this to be an appropriate Divination replacement.
A glaive cradled in the crook of his arm. The Hermit is often shown with a walking stick to support him on the hard path ahead. I have never seen Kelson use a staff, let alone an edged weapon, but I know a good friend of his does. And so to resemble his support system, I've used hers.
A visible path in the distance behind him. The road the Hermit walks is often long and arduous. Normally Hermits are seen climbing up a hill, or standing at the ledge of a cliff (the end of their journey). For Kelson, I've decided to show parts of his path as he trudges onward.
