Story is as follows.
Recently, I was on vacation in a relatively remote location in Canada, a cabin on a lake far from any real roads, serviced by a crappy access 'road'. I fell down and injured my head (I'm okay now). My family called 911 and an ambulance actually made it out there and picked me up. I was really impressed with the paramedics. On the (lengthy) ride to the hospital, I got to talking with the young woman who was helping me out, and among other things, talked about my hobby of making cards. I suspect she was just keeping me talking to keep me conscious.
Anyway, I was kept in hospital overnight, brain scanned, sewed up, etc. and released to my family the next day. I thought it may be a nice gesture to draw a card for the paramedics, a one-off. So I did - the one below.
Then, I posted it on Reddit, on a sub dedicated to EMS. There it got lots of attention, with many comments along the line of "please make this a real deck I can buy". Apparently there is a big thirst for EMS themed art. One person even PM'd me asking permission to get this card tattooed on their body! (I said sure).
Anyway, the upshot is that I am thinking of doing a "first responders" themed deck - EMS, Fire, Police, Medical and Social Workers. The upsides: all the other cards I've done have been fan art, which always made me somewhat uneasy - its someone else's intellectual property. These won't have that issue. There is a built-in interest base, as there are lots and lots of first responders who will want them, apparently, in addition to card collectors. It's an interesting topic to me with lots of potential for interesting art.
Anyway, here's the card:
