The Devil - created by rturnbow
The Devil is another of the popularly misunderstood cards of the Tarot, perhaps second only to Death in this category. In our modern world we do not like to think that there is a seed of negativity in everyone, so we assume that anything bad that happens must be the work of some outside Devil, who is to be feared and shunned. But really, people do not do bad things because a force outside them is controlling their actions. They do bad things because the negative part of their own personality is expressing itself. To deny this side of yourself is to give it power over you, and to give it free reign over your life will eventually destroy you.
The symbolic portrayal of the Devil in the Tarot is a clear mockery of two previous Major Arcana, the Lovers and the Hierophant. The former parody is perhaps the more obvious. Where the angel hovers on the Lovers, the Devil stands on his card, cursing the man and woman rather than blessing them. They who were once connected to each other by love are now attached to the Devil by their chains of lust and ignorance. The Devil's hand mimics the gesture of the Hierophant, but perverts it. The true Hierophant offers spiritual wisdom and beckons to us with an open hand. The Devil's gesture hides his true intentions of hurtful wisdom - not really wisdom at all.

Imaginative use of source, snake needs a better shadow (see snake source)...GL author.
author says:
I agree.. I knew it was missing something, thanks for the tip
rusvelt2000 says:
I strongly believe that it could be improved a lot. In my opinion, adding some shadows to blend the three elements together would be a nice start! I'll wait before voting.

Author, (Just a suggestion) there are some "Bluing" debris around the neck of the green parrot face. Fixing that will help you get a higher score from voters. You may want to explore using a super tiny/soft "Smudge" tool to make the edge of the neck "Fuzzy/Furry" instead of so sharply cut.
Little details help in the realism. This is a fun idea and I wish you luck.
