"Broken Sprite" (CPTC #1)

The very Spirit of Nature has begun to develop anomalies (thanks to human interference in planetary workings.) And this poor little sprite came into being with a bum appendage and a lack of vision. He'll probably be okay, though, because the venerable Court of the Air hasn't become as heartless as those awful HUMAN governments are proving to be. Magical creatures tend to take care of their own, and some good-natured spirit will, undoubtedly, find him and fix him up (eventually!)

[This is the first card in a series of Crypto-Primitive Trading Cards that I've decided to produce. I love the idea of a virtual trading card series (weird little art cards swirling around as freakish digital data in some electronic art nexus field! Exciting!) Personally, I grew up loving the old "bubble-gum" cards, like Weird Wheels and Dinosaurs Attack and (of course) the various Star Wars sets, which my grandparents always used to buy for me. There were a TON of different trading card sets to collect when I was a kid, and the IDEA of opening those little packages and finding the hidden treasures inside still makes me feel all warm and happy today. Now, as a THING (I love THINGS) I'm making my own trading cards---one card at a time---and I'm loving the formatting and crafting of these little suckers. Hopefully, some-other-bodies out there will get as much of a kick out of them as I'm having in making them!!! If that person is YOU, then ENJOY!!!]
