Mythical Creature Card Designs

These are four card designs that I intend to print using a silkscreen/serigraphy method, which require strong black and white contrast to transfer properly to the screen. Each card design represents what I consider the central elements of a mythical creature. The top left design represents the Kirin from China, a creature known for its carp scales, long lion's tail, connections to chinese dragons with the pearl of wisdom, and the single deer antler in the center of its forehead. The top right design represents the Pegasus, the famous flying horse of Greek myth with its large wings and capacity to soar through clouds. The bottom left design represents the Unicorn, the beloved medieval beast of purity who is known for its long lion-like tail, cloven goat hooves, and its single long spiral horn. The horn's design is based on the original unicorn horns, narwhal tusks. The bottom right design represents the Kelpie of Scotland and Ireland, a malevolent river beast that usually took the form of a beautiful black horse. This aspect is represented by the black simplified river ring. As a horse, the only sign of its devious nature is its dripping wet mane, which is part of the inner circle. The Kelpie can also take other forms, the more common ones being that of an old man or a young woman, which is also part of the inner circle. The fish eye in the center is to reinforce the Kelpie's underwater nature and need to eat its prey in the river.
