Tarot: Inara & Kat: Low-Res Early Access (Patreon)

"Don’t let the name fool you. Strength isn’t a model of brute force -- it’s a beacon of resilience. Strength reminds you that softness and courage are not opposites. You’ve survived worse. You’ll rise from this, too."

"When The Hermit appears, it’s time to retreat -- not to escape, but to reflect. Shut the laptop. Ignore the algorithm. Go inward and listen to the voice that’s not shouting. Solitude is sacred."

The client was very clear that he wanted to emphasize that Inara is not simply physically overpowering the lion. The emphasis is on her sympathetic and loving expression... although she's still so buff her clothes is tearing and her jewelry is cracking.

Kat, on the other hand, came together pretty much right away with barely any notes. I think the most intersting elements were the client's idea for her to be wearing a hood with holes cut out for her ear.
