Description

Dedication to a cause, particularly one that is extremely difficult or hopeless. Fighting for others.
Inverse: A realistic approach. Compromise or middle ground. Sueing for peace.

Model: Amarinthia Torres

I was surprised to learn that off all the knights cards, this one is the most actively violent or aggressive. I would have thought the swords, but not so in my deck, it seems. The meaning is very appropriate for the model who works at the Sexual Assault center as a devoted advocate of victims of rape and incest. She's out there on the front lines, seeing more nasty shit than you'd like to imagine, and i don't think she's seen it improve in her tenure. I am very pleased she consented to working with me on this.

More and more ammonites creeping into the deck... "I'm just a Knight, ca-ra-coling around, turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn turn! Yeah!' -Courtesy 'The Knife Song', Space Ghost Coast to Coast.

Update Oct 20, 2005

I uploaded a newer version with some small changes. Thanks to everyone who pointed out problems.

I really like the symbolism behind this card. I love how the bottom looks like you've scratched away at the darkness to reveal the light. I agree with *Kth-dragon on integrating the ammonites into her forehead, as it would make the image seem more finished, and the ammonites seem less of an after thought. If you played with the colouring on the ammonites, you could get them to match her skin-tones, and that qould be really cool.
