MTG Salvation

I've been working on my own single panel comic strip called 5Head© for about ten years. It's a simple concept about a girl with an extremely large forehead. hence the name.

Example:

Here recently, within the last few years, I've begun the work to properly draw and color them--as seen above. And over the course, I've been coming up with Magic: the Gathering ideas to incorporate into 5Head©.

Such as these:
One: my buddies and daughter
Two: BBD and CVM
Three: Patrick Chapin and the 2014 Worlds Cheating Incident

So with all of these Magic: the Gathering ideas tumbling in my head, I decided to make a dedicated single panel comic strip titled:
BIRDS OF PARODY


LOGO:

ONE: Gerard Fabiano's love of Ashiok, the Nightmare Weaver

I hope everyone enjoys and I'll be doing my best to have these posted in this thread weekly on Fridays. They will also be published at the same time on my Facebook page.

I really dig your art style as well as the color. They look like they are done on non-digital media, which I really like. Nice, clean artwork. Subscribed to this thread to be notified when you update. Can't wait to see where you go with this. (I'm also going through your 5Head panels)

thanks. it's all drawn in pencil and pen. then I use color pencil and sometimes other media like paint or marker. still a fan on the hands on media

I lost interest with the Anime/Emrakul one. It came across as a pretty inappropriate rape joke to me.

Hmmmm. Nothing is clearly stated there, but I see what you mean. Offtheropes5 will probably need to remove that images as it can be interpreted in such a way.

[edit]I decided to remove the image.

necro, didn't mean to offend and hope to see ya back.

Brian Braun-Duin is known for keeping some rough hands, but this may be one of the worst.

I like the art, but the jokes lack the wit and charm of Cardboard Crack. I think you can get there, but here's something to keep in mind (assuming you want to reach a larger audience):

Your jokes are a little too in-jokey and obscure. I'm a veteran Magic Player, who has been playing since Revised, but I don't get half of your jokes. Cardboard Crack keeps the jokes accessible to the average Magic Player.

Furthermore, a very tiny proportion of Magic players keep up with, or know about the exploits/adventures of Magic pros. If you want to make a joke about some Magic pro, try to give a little more context to the joke.

I hope this was helpful. I really do want you to succeed and become popular.

appreciate the input. always glad to hear it to better them.

for everyone: will be a while before I post anymore. been drawing nonstop for the last 3-4 months and am worn out. but stay tuned for some in the near future
