This artworks is one of three I made for Eid al-Adha cards of a Khaliji concept store.

(Khaleejirefers to the countries of the Arabian Peninsula, especially those associated with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states. Eid al-Adha is the last of the two Islamic holidays celebrated worldwide each year.)

The traditional Eid cards in GCC countries have banknotes attached to them and they’re used as gifts for children on the fest days. In these designs, the banknotes are placed over the floating hearts.

This cartoon was painted digitally in Procreate.
