Note the rank of the card ... the "A" isn't an "Ace", but an "alpha" ... matched by an "omega" on the other side.

Also, under each rank letter is a flower - for the angelic side, blooming; for the devilish side, wilting. Not specifically Christian, though. Same with the heart and spade, representing life and (spiritual) death.

Ah.  I completely missed the Alpha-Omega!  I generally saw the light/dark, angellic/demonic dichotomy but had figured you meant something more explicit (which you did).

To be fair, it is kinda hidden in plain sight - when you see an A, you reasonably expect that the "A" is standing for "Ace".

Nice work Malthus. Are they getting made into a regular deck of playing cards (or did this happen already)?

I would like to print actual decks (there are companies that specialize in this), but because they are fan art, I would want to secure the permission of the creators of the show before I did so.

Yup - I post all my art stuff on Instagram, under "Malthusarts".

No problem. I'm happy to get new followers there, even if it is rather meaningless - my aim to to get up to 6K over the next day or so. 😉 Though I'm only in the planning stages for a new card, so it may take longer than that.

Went over 6K followers today - let cash and fame rain down upon me!

:crickets:

😉

But seriously - it is fun to see so many positive comments, upvotes and followers. One thing I did not anticipate was that people would download my fan art and use it for other things - with my permission or not. Some factory in China was selling merch with my stuff printed on it for awhile, and at least four people have asked permission to get my pics tattooed on themselves. Seeing one of those in the street would be beyond weird. 😄

A friend of mine quite seriously suggested I approach the makers of the paint pen I use. 😄

I compromised by mentioning them and adding them to the tags. I simply don't have the gall to commit e-beggary for sponsorships.
