The High Priestess

This is for *Rosiana's OC tarot card project. 8D

It's been a long while since I've done any drawings of Iraira, so I thought I'd use her in the project.

I was going to work Clover and Kalare into the pillar designs, but I decided not to do that, since I knew the pomegranate tree was going to take forever. XD They would have been good symbolism, though. They keep Iraira standing, for the most part. The rest of the time, they can be a pain.

Why Iraira, you ask? The card fits her quite nicely character-wise, if this site's info is accurate: [link]

Iraira keeps to herself most of the time. Her "inner voice" could be Clover or Kalare. XD She's also not in a hurry to get stronger/learn more about her magic, since she's an REG and has bigger problems to deal with.
I suppose the "acknowledging the Shadow" part could be related to Kalare as well.
Iraira's also aware that not everything is what it seems, which goes with the whole mystery theme.
The pomegranate tree symbolizes mercy. Iraira's more merciful than her demon buddies.

Yes, the tree is growing out of the tiles. I wanted it that way.

The bricks killed my hand. D8

Yes, I know the letters are too close together. XD That's my fault. I fail at feet/anatomy, too. >:
