Hello everyone. I haven't created a tutorial in a while, so I thought i'd create a quick one while I wait for a new daylight bulb to arrive to photograph Belial.

The Emperor Tarot The Emanation of the Giant Appollyon's banner image is inspired by the Artwork of William Blake, and the Emperor Tarot Card. I believe the exact image I copied from was from the poem Jerusalem. If you haven't seen any of William Blake's work, please open another web browser and look right now. They are nightmarish...
