Bohemian Gothic Tarot, The Devil - this is NOT the card itself!

Working on The Devil. (I ought to emphasise that this is not the card itself, it's an engraving on which the card will be based.) Now this has been a hard card. We've had three different versions. In the end, we decided to base it on this engraving (which I showed here some months back) - which all along I wanted. I know it's a shocking image, but doesn't it just sum up what this card is all about? We've recreated the scene as the deck is essentially photographically based, not based on engravings or graphics - one big difference from the Victorian Romantic. When the card is finished I'll post it here so that you can compare this original and our own version.
