1.0 & series Eva Tarot Card Icons
Inspired by a thread about the Eva Tarot Cards, I decided to go on a little artistic endeavor of my own - making tarot cards of my own! While they may or may not be of use here due to their size and they are of debatable quality, I figured they would be a nice thing to share. I'm not done with the entire set yet, but expect this to be what I spend my Thanksgiving Break on.
I've got most of the set figured out, but I still need some ideas for The Hanged Man, the Star, and the Sun. Any ideas guys?

Good job so far! Maybe Asuka could be the Sun? (And Shinji as Earth if there is a card of that.)
The Lovers should be either Gendo/Yui or Kaji/Misato. The Star: Eva-01flying in space. Hanged Man: Rei 1 being strangled ala Death.
Lilith with wings & the Black Moon should be Empress, 2I Adam Emprorer. EoE shot of Moon Sun & Earth as The World. Eva-01 at the start of Ep26'/EoE or Seele should be Devil.
That's all for now.

Ah. Then the sun needs to be 1.01's Fifth Angel (Shamshel), the Star should be the Sixth Angel while shapeshifting, and the Hanged Man should be the Second Angel.
Actually, here's a complete list of suggestions, in case there's anything else you aren't sure of:
The Fool: Shinji, head down
The Magician: Misato about to rescue Shinji from the Fourth Angel
The High Priestess: Rei on the gurney in Eva-01's Cage
The Empress: Ritsuko? Yui if possible
The Emperor: Gendo w/ hand pose
The Hierophant: Kiel
The Lovers: Shinji and Rei on the Hell Train
The Chariot: Eva-00
Strength: Toji punching Shinji
The Hermit: Fuyutsuki
Wheel of Fortune: The Fourth Angel and its AT Field
Justice: Toji punching Shinji
The Hanged Man: Lilith, stabbed
Death: N2 Mine explosion
Temperance: Shinji in the hospital wing before Yashima
The Devil: Berserk Eva-01
The Tower: Nerv Pyramid/Command Center
The Star: The Sixth Angel while shapeshifting
The Moon: Rei in front of the moon
The Sun: The Fifth Angel over the ocean
Judgement: Kaworu in front of the earth
The World: The line of tanks facing the red sea

Toji punching Shinji vs. Shinji punching Toji? I thought that the latter scene was off-screen? Anyway, both of them would be similar enough to cause confusion.
I think the positron rifle being fired upon Ramiel should be put for "Justice" or as an alternative for "Death" if the N2 explosion isn't good enough. Another excellent choice for "Justice" would be Eva-01 holding Sachiel's broken ribs and raising them as she prepares to bring them down on his core.

I almost have all of the cards done! Just two more to go.
I used this idea, but it barely looks like hands :/
Actually, my card for Justice is Sachiel's death. It's kind of weird, but I like the exploding crosses.

Hm... Maybe I should make a series version Tarot... >_>
Ooh, I would love to have one of those! I kind of collect Tarot decks (I also use it for meditation once in a while), and I've been hoping someone would design an Evangelion Tarot.

Ok, I'm done! I liked how these turned out, although there's not really a unifying visual theme between them. But, anyways:
0: THE FOOL - Shinji
BEGINNING/FOLLY/IDEALS/SEARCH OF MEANING
There's no need for explanation of why I chose Shinji for this "card."
I: THE MAGICIAN - Penpen
ACTION/POWER/SELF-CONFIDENCE/CREATIVITY
Penpen really doesn't fit, but I couldn't think of any more characters, and he makes a nice fit with the next card. But we all know Penpen is the embodiment of "power", right?
II: THE HIGH PREISTESS - Misato
LOVE/WISDOM/INTUITION/MYSTERY
See, it does fit, doesn't it? Despite being a main character, it took me a long time to find a good image of her.
III: THE EMPRESS - Ritsuko
MOTHERING/BEAUTY/POWER/NATURE
This was at the suggestion of Legendary. There were really no good shots of her in the movie at all.
IV: THE EMPEROR - Gendou
FATHERING/DISCIPLINE/ORDER/STABILITY
Like with Shinji, there's no need for an explanation for this one either. I really like the coloring.
V: THE HEIROPHANT - SEELE
EDUCATION/TRADITION/THE GROUP/DECEPTION
SEELE is a perfect fit, but I couldn't get a better shot of their monoliths.
VI: THE LOVERS - Rei and Shinji
RELATIONSHIPS/BONDING/VALUES/CONNECTION
This wonderful idea is from Sailor Star Dust. I don't really view Shinji and Rei as a couple, but the card has non-romantic implications.
VII: THE CHARIOT - Eva-01
WILLPOWER/BRAVERY/VICTORY/HONOR
Eva-01 is literally "the chariot" for Shinji's actions. The original picture was really dark (even more so than 1.01 already was), so it took me a long time to figure out how to lighten it correctly.
VIII: JUSTICE - Death of Sachiel
DECISION/RESPONSIBILITY/STRENGTH/JUSTICE (!!)
Objectively, it's not really "justice", but I love this shot.
IX: THE HERMIT - Fuyutsuki
INTROSPECTION/REASON/GUIDANCE/ISOLATION
The idea for this was also from Legendary.
X: WHEEL OF FORTUNE - Remiel
DESTINY/TURNING POINT/SURPRISE/OPPORTUNITY
I also liked how the coloring for this turned out. It looks really different from the original image.
XI - XXI are coming later.

Here are some 1.11 images for your Tarot set like I promised I'd upload. Huge images are huge so I spoiler-tagged 'em.
EDIT: I included some nice shots of Ritsuko from 1.11 once I noticed your post.
Good job with what you have, chaosakita. I like it.
MatrixRefugee: Really? I'll see what I can whip up this weekend then.
SPOILER: Show
