Diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in January 2015, I spent a year sick and enduring chemotherapy and it's side effects. There were so many people supporting and helping me throughout. This card is dedicated to them. It depicts a few of Sanya/St Nicholas' European helpers, St Lucia, Krampus, Julenisse, and Zwarte Piet bringing gifts, mail and text messages. many of the items are actual gifts that were sent.
The characters used for the game were originally drawn up for another game a while ago and were posted then as Non Playing Characters (scroll down this page to find them). I transferred the original drawings to heavy watercolor paper and embellished them, sometimes adding more of the body, then I hand painted them with acrylics and detailed with colored pencil. Using Photoshop, I added the backgrounds and the text and numerals. I also created the card back in PhotoShop.
