PD: What are you doing posting THAT in my thread and making me look bad lol... only kidding. As for the mox, you could trying shopping something together from web pics, or you know, ask a real live girl to let you borrow her hands for a minute
Cali-- rest assured the mana effects will be in full effect on the critters legs. I actually am not at all down with the Ponder style meforlk... they look ugly to me. I will try to add a few select "merfolkish" things to try to get the feeling across more though - but i still want her to be attractive....
As for the floating sperm... Ill make sure it is less sperm like stat
lol i agree with you on the ponder merfolk.. i don't like that style merfolk at all, but mainly I was just referring to the art to point out the 'belt of bottles' that kinda give the merfolk more character...
Just an idea for the draining...maybe it's too late at this point, I don't know, but what about making her hand visible on the back of the creature, so we can actually see a focal point through which the mana is being drained?
Question with reagards to the white mana being drained from the creature, are you going to do it like in your sketch, a focal point on the creature's back with mana being drained?
How many Arts are you planing on doing and are these for your own enjoyment or use?
Must say I wished The proxys I used looked like those. Congrats on the great job and time your putting into these.
would anyone know where the other altered power cards are? i've searched high and low but i couldnt find:
ancestral recall
time walk
time twister
im looking for the card files of each so that i can make that proxy! and thank you mr. artist for the renedered mox emerald! just mox diamond to go and power 9 proxy pimpness for the win!
Im looking for the world champ power 9 cards that were given as oversized card prizes to the winner.
(M:tG) It's a hobby which costs money. You can't play golf without the right clubs and a membership for the golf court, you can't play paintball with a cardboard armor and a sling, you can't go to the movies without paying for a ticket and you can't play Magic without owning the cards. Simple as that.
The drain turned out a lot better than I thought it would! Love how she is now channelling the energy from the draining whelk. The focus of the piece is a lot more centered on the draining action which makes it true to the spirit of the card.

Ok, long time no post here. Well I finished another painting. Not really Vintage specific, but I'm sure you could use it on an Ancestral Recall proxy or something. Whispers of the Muse? Haha.....

At some point I'll make a high res psd regular card as well. As cool as the other render is, it is a pretty low quality image....
Yea it's Just a MSE render... when you get a high res one up I can edit my post to point to yours instead.

I don't know if the artist are still making them, but they are cool, and... yeah, if you have time, I want to see Yawgmoth's Will.
You guys will think of something
