There is a lot that could be said about the Nethik King, but very little that he will let me say tonight. Maybe the image can speak for itself.

It's powerful in a subtle way. A contrast not just in colours but line - so much of it is fluid and circular but the tongue kinda 'reads' as straight, even though it isn't actually perfectly straight. So there's predominantly greens but a splash of contrasting colours. Predominantly circular lines with a few straight lines.
So it leaves me wondering... It suggests someone powerful in a way that is predominantly in one style, but the flexibility to change styles when needed. Also it looks very much like 'The Green Man' or similar, with the vegetation style of stand for the bowl, the greens, and the horns are very snakelike and medusa-like. So if this was a card I had in a reading I'd be wanting to talk about the symbolism of medusa. Perhaps that given the rest of what I've said, they may be finding that when the way they usually approach things doesn't work, they're needing to - or finding they're able to, depending on context, adjust to a new way of doing things. Medusa-like. One head is cut off, so another can come to take it's place. Yeah I guess it's overall a sense of strength through both flexibility and tradition/sameness.
I didn't pick up on the fluid lines vs straight lines, though. That's a really interesting interpretation. I like it. Definitely there should be hints of the medusa, and the way you interpret that symbology. I put the spiral in there on purpose, and I was thinking too of Cthulhu and a bottomless well of... something.
