The Teal Limited edition features smoother linework inspired by Oriental tiles and stained glass. The color teal signifies water droplets creating ripples on the smooth surface of a pond, while the silver represents the shimmer of the merging ripples. With enough imagination, one can see the back design of the Teal edition as a scene of a gentle afternoon rain shower on a serene pond nestled in the heart of a forest. The foil only makes this daydream easier.
Back design
Court Cards
Following the tradition of my creations, I use simple lines to sketch the characters. With a subtle variation of thick and thin strokes, they come to life with more personality. The clothing is not shabby, and the use of blocky color patches and gradients gives the traditional courts a classy and contemporary appearance. Although the courts maintain a traditional frame, each character has an item, a weapon, or a sleeve that extends beyond the borders. After all, margins are made for trespassing, aren't they?
