So, recently I decided I would transition from acrylic paints to prismacolor/micron pens and try my hand at inks. I find myself liking it a lot more and being able to emulate some of the artists who have a style that I had really been aiming for (Bristol, Galspanic). What I wanted to know was if I try to copy one of their alters, or do an alter similar to another artists, can I post it here? I REALLY want feedback on my alters but at the same time, I don't want to steal another artists thunder...

To be honest, I don't see why you can't come up with something original... Even though "imitation is the most sincerest form of flattery", to be quite honest, I'd be pretty pissed if someone was directly copying my alters. 2 cents.
You'd better to ask Bristol and Gal directly to see if you can do that.

What a fantastic Idea!
That looks great, I started a borderpost mural right after Alara Reborn came out but didn't get very far on it unfortunately be fore I lost interest...

not going to lie, i played jund during standard and played it during the ptq today. thats y i have been trying to alter those. will try to match the colours more.
Hmm, nowhere near the ability as others on here. But practice makes perfect, so here are a pair that I just completed. The Bolt is just for fun, but the Hellkite is for me.
Its great to see that there are more people getting into creating alters. Keep up the awesome work all.
same as the guys who enjoy comic charakters on their cards.
speaking of socialy retarded in a nerds game forum is the dumbest thing you could ever post.
Don't use the worded "retarded" in that manner.
This is totally off-topic, will not be surprised if I get a warning, but this is totally an appropriate use of the word "retarded". I'm all for not using retarded to describe ideas or people I disagree with, but come on. Let's not ban a word because that word, in a different context, can be associated with negativity.
NightmareAffair: I really like the brainstorm as well...maybe because pink is my fav colour <3
Everyone always stares at me funny when I take out my deck with fluro pink deck protectors
Here's a couple of alters I did recently;
Not very happy with it...there's something wrong with the composition I think but I've never actually studied art so have no idea O.o
Even though there seem to be some anime girl hate on this forum...I just love drawing them...I find the female form so aesthetically pleasing to draw!
And also my bf promised to buy me a booster pack for each anime girl I draw him
That scepter is sweet, but you make these things so fast! I can barely keep up with adding them to the site with as many as you make.

Yeah I did two yesterday and two today. The semester starts tomorrow and with it my practicum. So I will work 60 hours a week plus classes so I finished up some stuff. I won't have much tIme tO paint the next few months which stinks because I just started altering.

Thanks for everyone's feedback! Here's a new one up for grabs:
This seems strikingly familiar for some reason, but I can't place it. I know it's the Guru symbol over the top, but did you do anything to the group below to make it look different than the original? Maybe it's a slight color shift or something!

No changes. There is a slight color shift, but that's just the variation that comes from Wizards printing a few hundred-thousand copies. Just added the spectrum that's on Terese Nielsen's original.
I love how the design surrounding the amulet is just a liiiitle too big for the box. It really looks like it's trying to bust out of the frame. That really works well with your usual level of detail and style.
I really like the way you approached the cards you did recently - escpecially the Mind Stone, SDT, and this Coalition Relic. I hope someone from WOTC takes notice, too. I would be ecstatic to open a pack and see a card which looks like this.

Yes, it was off-topic, and also spam.
