Description
Part of three card deck designs I did for my class, "Monster". We had to come up with something that interprets the concept of beauty and repulsion.

I based mine on how the east and west view certain animals or mythological creatures in completely opposite ways.

The bat, the pig, and the dragon (they sound really random together, I know XD) are examples that are often viewed as negative in western european culture but positive in asian cultures (besides for the dragon, I mostly base that off what I know of chinese culture, I'm not completely sure about other asian countries lol *shot* )

Here's the pig as the jack of clubs. Pigs usually have somewhat of a connotation to laziness, filth, and/or greed in western culture when they're used as a symbol. In chinese culture though, they're known to represent wealth, prosperity, and good fortune.

Paint Tool SAI and Photoshop CS
Image was printed on glossy paper and cut out to look like real 2.5 x 5 playing cards.
