Artist's Comments

Major Arcana VI: The Lovers - Tachikawa Mimi & Izumi Koushirou: The Lovers is an unusual card, being able to represent both pure love/partnership and also lust/desire. Since there were no official couples in the series which demonstrated this, I chose the characters based on the symbolism of the card. The traditional card is meant to represent the perfect unity of masculine and feminine images. When creating this card, I wanted to enhance that unity by choosing characters who exemplified characteristics that were opposite of their gender. I finally settled upon Mimi and Koushirou for just this reason. Mimi's purity struck me as suiting the card perfectly, along with her selfishness at the beginning of the series, she also suited the reversed meaning. I chose Koushirou over the other possible characters due to the feminine characteristics he displayed more clearly. In terms of their physical sides, Mimi obviously represents femininity while Koushirou is masculinity. On the basis of personality, Mimi is a more assertive and outgoing character, a masculine trait, while Koushirou is more submissive and shy, a traditionally female trait. Represented by their crests, Mimi is a more emotional creature - traditionally feminine trait, and Koushirou is a creature of logic - traditionally male trait. I tried to emphasize their opposing characters by making Koushirou appear shy and obviously shorter than a self-assured Mimi. The rose parallels Mimi's connection to plants, and the butterflies Koushirou's connection to insects, both of these symbols are in turn related to 'the birds and the bees' reproductive life metaphors.

Ah. I think this is a pretty interesting choice, and I do see your reason... What I think could use a bit of work is Koushirou's face and hair, but that's all. Mimi's expression is very nice. :D

I really like your tarot card designs. The descriptions are very indepth and all the characters chosen really work well with the different cards. I really like the design for this card and how it fits the characters and the description. I really love the birds and the bees idea ^^. Plus Koushirou x Mimi is cute ^.^.
