The World is the final card of the Major Arcana and stands for, surprise, completion and accomplishment!

Every ending means a new beginning, so I thought that an animal doing some kind of annual migration might be fitting. This deck features too many cats and hoofers, so I tried to put in some really rare species (in furry terms), too. Glad I managed to get some other non-mammal in: a sockeye salmon in full migration mode (the other non-mammals being a praying mantis, a cobra and an arachnid).

I started the Major Arcana when I had a purely home-office job where I could draw while working. Then I got (and still have) a neat office job with 9 hours a day plus commuting, so… this project took way too long. I don't think anyone cared, lol. Might be a general thing, I'm getting almost no resonance to my art at all anymore… ¯_(ツ)_/¯

That's all for the tarot. I won't draw any of the four suits. Because if I have to draw the card border one more time, someone will perish.
