Description

"This card often carries the meaning of emotional dejection, disappointment and sorrow over past events. There may be a tendency to "cry over spilt milk". It can also represent the failure to see the good in a given situation. Although the figure represented on the card has lost three of his cups, two still stand, yet he fails to appreciate what he has left." - Quoted from Wikipedia

This is my second and last Tarot card, based on Sagittarius' costume of Five of Cups.

It's easier to make a card than a costume, I feel. His costume's pretty much a hood (black to show mourning or something) and simply brown trousers. Where are the cups? No idea >D

However, in the card, there are cups. Here's what they show:

The three cups that are spilled are on top. They show a higher position, a dominance. The right cup (our left) has some poison spilling from it. If you look carefully, it takes the shape of a dagger. This was inspired by Romeo and Juliet. Thus the poison and the dagger. The sort of lives they lead could have been great, but due to not wanting any more than each other, they ended their lives too early.

The left cup (our right) is pouring mercury out. Mercury, as you all know, is highly poisonous as well. The first emperor of China was mesmerized by the substance and injested it in the hopes it would grant him eternal life. The vain need for immortality was his undoing. There is a clock under the mercury to show the time factor... thing... <<

The third cup looks empty, but I tried to make it look like the rain was coming from it. I tried to make it come from the tip of the chalice, but it looked too awkward.

The two cups behind Sage are placed behind him to show he is not looking at them, not thinking of them. They, obviously, show love and money, but despite them being there, he takes them for granted and mourns over the three spilled cups of bad thoughts and possibly slander. Their glows are much smaller than the other cups' glows to show their lack of importance to him.
