This is some amazing stuff PBG. The ebay auction u refered to earlier in the thread is something you should REALLY think about. If it's something you like doing AND you can make some money you should give it a shot, even if you just do one or two to see how it goes.
I do something similar but instead of drawing I take the card images and edit them in photoshop to blend together as well as give it a personal touch. I guess its not really that similar....except that I put it on playmats as well. I've only done one so far, but it turned out pretty nice, I'll try to get some scans up.
I don't have the artists touch like you do when it comes to drawing and sketching so I have to stick to the less artistic way, but it works.
Thanks for sharing this with us, it's a brilliant idea.
Thank you FalseProphet. I'm working on a new playmat soon for a member of this site. If he approves, then I'll post the final results if I can when I'm finished or get him to do so, since I no longer have a good digital camera.
I am very interested in having one of these done, If anyone can draw solknar fairly well let me know, and see if we can work out something. I could also provide the blank mat
I bought some blank white playmats off ebay, 3.99 there for yugio but there just blank white so they can be used in magic. Anyway i brought this up because if you had a white playmat you could add color right? So if i were to do this would prismacolor markers work or should i use my good old colored sharpies?
Can anyone think of anything god to combine with one of the commands? My personal favorites of the commands are the red and green ones. Can anyone think of anything that goes with those on a playmat?
Wow that's amazing. The Spawn looks wicked amazing. I wish I had one of these custom playmats...
Anyone here willing to do some custom playmats for some sort of monetary compensation?

No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now!
Nice work everyone.
Elficidium, I like your work, it's very well done. The one thing I might suggest is that the edges goblins seem awkward. I think you should finish the bodies of the goblins all the way to the edges of the borders, and the center. Otherwise, it is awesome.
Keep it up, everyone.
Apparently underline is being weird and not wanting to turn off. Oh well.
Love everyone's artwork. I am going to try to do this myself, though im not that good.
Quick question for Darjarri: is that playmat tournament legal? I mean the pay upkeep part. Is it considered outside notes or something?
Here's a pair of playmats I've made, showing my love for Magnivore. (I played U/R Wildfire for a good amount of the time 9th was in standard)
I'm not really sure how the "Give me a hug" thing came about, I think I made some joke about the 'Vore just wanting to hug my opponent, as he kept blocking it. No love... If anyone was at the Sacramento Regionals of '07, you may have seen this one. I wasn't using it myself because I didn't want people to know I was playing Vore as soon as they sat down.
I did a drawing of myself with the basics of the wildfire deck around me, and a friend suggested I put it on a playmat, so I did.
edit: not sure how to get the links to work, and the files are too large to upload to the thread. I don't know how to decrease their size either.... :/ Can anyone help me out?
edit2: Fixed.

This is my new playmat I did today in about an hour or so.

That akuma is drawn well but i think it loses its pop value because the colors are muted and its paired with the spawn that is popping like crazy.
Did you use white out or paint for those wings?
but the whole thing probably looks better in person than in a picture anyways. =/

Man those are really nice. I really like the Black-suit Spidey one.
If I didn't have my Serra Angel playmat(s) already, I would definitely have to find someone to draw something for me.
We need to see more of these custom art playmats.

If it looks distorted, that's because I had it over my keyboard and so it wasn't flat when I took the photo.
Looks really good.
A card game about Presidents. Stabbing each other. With knives.
