| Back of Loteria Card |
This tessellation pattern was created for the back of the Loteria cards. I wanted to do something that would capture the intricate nature of an M.C. Escher print. Actually, when designing the cards I was originally thinking of having lots more Escher-like patterns, but there is a catch that wasn't obvious at first. Patterns that repeat themselves make for great card backs, but hard to format as acard FRONT! For the face cards, a single, large image is preferable.
But the back of the cards are a different story.
This figure in this painting was based off of Shimbo of Darktree Tower, the avatar of Francis Sandow. The painting is different only in the fact that it doesn't include the greenish cast to the skin which is a staple of temple images of Shimbo.
