PENEMUEL'S NEST -- SMALLVILLE TAROT

PENEMUEL'S NEST -- SMALLVILLE TAROT


Smallville Tarot Major Arcana Cards

Back when I was a newbie in Photoshop, I started a Farscape Tarot Card set. I may yet go back & re-do some of them -- not sure, since they seem to be holding up fairly well against my new photoshop stuff... Maybe just some colour adjusting and some minor filter work.

Anyway, now I've decided to do a Smallville one, too. After all, I am obsessed...

I'll be updating this page as cards are finished.
