I was browsing the artists' pages (thanks to MagicDeckVortex for listing many of them on one page) and found an interesting pic from an artist named Donald Hazeltine. I knew him, he did Ghitu Encampment and some other lands, but what attracted me was a pic named "Shuriken". It is listed in the section "Magic:the Gathering" so it has to be an alternative to Matt Cavotta's more "action" pic. Enough talk, enjoy:
So what do you think? I must admit that although it features the general picture that comes to mind to majority of people when they hear the word "Shuriken", ergo throwing "stars", I like Cavotta's version more. At least I learned that the shuriken had more types tham just stars.
It really lacks realism. The wooden bar is slanted, but the stars are in perfect angle... except for the one being thrown at the bar. The colors are suq when you look at the rest of the block art.

I don't really like this version at all, although it is interesting to see other takes on the card. This one is really blah - really dull and not composed very well.

"...because without beer, things do not seem to go as well."
not great, but better than the other imho. The printed one reminds me of mirrodin art. Maybe if shuriken is ever reprinted, this will be the art. Wizards has done similiar things before.

Let this great clan rest in peace (2001-2011)
The art doesn't convey enough motion, even the throwing star in flight just seems 'displaced' rather than spinning while moving.
