My Ludovic and [VenenumTea](https://twitter.com/VenenumTea)'s Astolfo, as the union of the 5-5 Major Arcana my Marseille Tarot deck gave me as their mirror image. I took elements from the 5-5 Major Arcana I got for them to create their images. The Arcana my deck gave me were the High Priestess, the Hierophant, the Lovers, Judgment, and the Star for Ludovic, becoming the Gates of Heaven, and the Chariot, Strength, the Devil, the Sun, and the Tower for Astolfo, becoming the Conquest of the Underworld.
As for the style of this piece I wanted to honour my Marseille Tarot deck as it has been my faithful guide and a great source of inspiration. My deck is from Le Tarot Pas à Pas by Marianne Costa, and is a reproduction of the deck Pierre Madenie made in 1709.
On many of my cards the traces of the black outline of a different Arcanum can be seen, and I wanted to keep this: you can see the lineart of the other dimly in the background.
I got most of my Tarot knowledge from Costa's Le Tarot Pas à Pas, Jodorowsky's The Way of the Tarot, and Anonymus's Meditations on the Tarot, the latter imparting knowledge on the Major Arcana from the point of view of Christian hermeticism, treating them as spiritual exercises. These books all deal with the Marseille Tarot deck. The Rider-Waite-Smith deck, which is more popular, is different in many points, and reads differently.
