The Sun Never Sets on the Loteria Empire

"The Sun" Loteria Card
"The Sun"
This loteria card shows an arctic sun shining on an ice cliff.  Encased in the walls of the ice a shadowy figure can be seen.  The colors of the sky indicate that while the sun is shining, it is bitterly cold and the figure is in no danger of being freed from the icy prison.
One of the things I noticed while studying icebergs for this image was how stark the shadows were.  Inky shadows cling to every rock and crevasse giving even the most mundane vista an otherworldly view.
