In tarot, the King of Rods (or Wands) is loyal and trustworthy. He also shows up as a natural leader, a great listener and a creative visionary, in short – he seems like a nice guy :) The new playing cards I’m currently illustrating don’t have an official link to tarot, however, the two systems meet and greet so often that some personality traits appear almost subconsciously when depicting the different characters …
The King of Clubs
He watches and listens, while mentally preparing his next move. Will he join his Queen and Jack on a quest for the Royal Flush? Or, will he seek to join forces with the other Kings while exercising his diplomatic powers?
Thank you for visiting and take care!

I like the idea that he is ‘a nice guy’, and someone who is a good listener and diplomatic in his relationship with others has to be someone worth knowing. He looks thoughtful and kind, and I do like his hair…
Thank you for your lovely feedback :) I’m glad he’s coming across as a nice guy – and I’m glad you like his hair … he will have slightly more of it in the next update :)
