Tarot. For more information about the deck and the rest of the tarot images: [link]
Death - Closing the door to the past and opening a new one, going through transition, changing status, shedding the old and excess, inexorable forces and sweeping changes.
The Pheonix --
I had this concept in mind for the Death card for months now. Because this card is about the death of the old to make way for the new, the legend of the phoenix seemed to fit perfectly. Each day, the pheonix would sing the most beautiful song that even the sun would stop in the sky to hear. But after 1000 years, the phoenix builds up a next of sweet smelling herbs, and at sunrise would burst into flame to make way for the next newborn phoenix.
There is also a legend of the swan song -- that just before death, the swan also bursts out with the most heartrending melody.
It's a song of death and renewal....
Medium: Watercolor
Size: 8.5x14 inches

Powerful symbolism aside, the triumphant 13 - Death - Phoenix by *puimun is a breathtaking work of traditional art. Take a moment to bask in its volatility and kineticism, its range of colour and line, its dance from organic to ethereal. Full view is a must. (Featured by `frail)

I would never have thought of using a Phoenix as the Death card, but now that I saw it, it makes sense.
Whenever I get off my lazy ass and get a job, and after you've finished your deck, I'm definitely buying it. Your artwork is gorgeous
I think the phoenix is an excellent choice for that card, too ^^
