Malenia, Goddess of Rot - Tarot Card Illustration

Malenia, Blade of Miquella.

A custom, Tarot-inspired illustration of Malenia from Elden Ring. For this piece, I wanted to blend the devastating beauty of the Scarlet Rot with the esoteric and structured composition of Arcana Major cards.

The central composition highlights the duality of her character: the divine golden armor clashing with the organic, blooming decay of her wings. Elements like the celestial bodies, the piercing blade, and the chalice were integrated to frame her tragic yet commanding presence.

Designed with a focus on clean linework, symbolic framing, and a muted, atmospheric color palette suitable for physical card printing or editorial illustration.
