@nprofile1q... It's a rather... interesting experience, to say the least. It's basically "Star Fox 1.5" - I actually wouldn't be surprised if this sprang from a rough draft for 2 given how much they share in common.

VorteX shares a great deal more in common with Star Fox 2 than I had initially thought, it seems...

It's easy to forget that there were other Super FX chip games besides Star Fox (and its sequel).

I'm... just gonna pretend this hasn't been happening and hope for the best...

It's a blessing that people are still bothering to make things like this.

[III. L'Imperatrice]

The Empress... if you recall the P3&4 deck, there's not much new to say here, though I do find it interesting that this version of the card preserves the historical element in which the Empress keeps the Holy Roman Emperor's coat of arms by her side - I'd question the decorum of sitting on the imperial throne with her legs spread like that, but I don't think I want to risk getting beat over the head with her scepter.

Girlfriend told me to look out the window... and, as it turns out, winter wasn't done with us yet.

Here we go again!

[II. La Papesse]

The High Priestess... or just The Priestess in this instance (or The Popess, if translated literally). Some tarot decks replaces the priestess on the card with an image of the Roman goddess Juno, but that doesn't seem to be the case in P5 - I do wonder what religious order this priestess belongs to... must be a rather lax one if they let her look at naughty magazines.

*yawn*

[I. Le Bateleur]

The Magician... though, unlike other depictions of the card from earlier in the series, this one eschews the "spellcaster" mystique in favor of accurately reflecting the "street performer" of the real card - looking at some of the props on this illusionist's table, I have some serious questions about what his last magic act was ("What the FUCK did you do just now? Is that real blood on the knife?").

It dawned on me that I hadn't done anything with this model in quite a while, so took that opportunity while experimenting with Zoom Blur on background patterns...

...admittedly, very little progress has been made on her V3, so I used V2.5 again (though I DID accidentally turn V3 into an "overly curvaceous Dural" once while experimenting with environment maps (wish I had screencapped that)).

[Le Mat]

The Fool card of Tarot de Marseilles... they clearly got tired of the whole "0 or 22" thing, because they left the number out entirely (actually, The Fool is officially unnumbered in the real-world Marseilles deck and always has been). This poor fool got bit on the ass by his dog... is he a fool because he left himself open for it without putting much -if any- thought into what might happen, or did he antagonize the dog prior and is now reaping what's been sown? Either way, it's gonna take a while for that bite mark to heal... he'll probably be okay.
