I really like the art for DotP 2014 where her hair is not in flames, she looks gorgeous and natural. The gate art looks way too 3D, and Winona's art is way there in the "trying too hard to be badass" land of ridiculous layouts.

Yes sir, I take fantasy art and character design commissions, PM me for rates.
At first I didn't like the art, but then i looked at it from a distance. I realized that it has a really nice black/red contrast. The character's pose isn't my favorite but the overall effect is successful.

YMTC: We need a spikey red enchantment. My creations:

Whenever a player taps a nonbasic land, [Card] deals 2 damage to them.
-or-
R
Whenever a player would gain life, flip a coin. If heads, that player loses that much life instead. If tails sacrifice [card] and that player gains that life as per usual.
It's weird comparing it to the other card arts in that Winona Nelson gallery, since their faces are so much more expressive. Hired Torturer and Necropolis Regent (I was surprised by the detail in that card's face) especially.
It's not the worst Planeswalker art (It's not even the worst Chandra artwork; both Japanese duel deck Chandra and Chandra, the Firebrand are worse), but the pose and the plain face are disappointing.

The wedding is over. Now it's time for the honeymoon.
The only problem I have with the card art is she looks VERY young, like 10-14 young.
I hope her card is good, but there's only so much a hothead can do... Her art is so off I can't even make a crude joke without feeling sleezy... :Y

seriously, though... the heat is probably like a constant skin peel for her
keeps her youthful appearance intact
LOL, I am going to use this as head-canon at the moment as I know Chandra will be around for quite a long time and the head honcho's need another one of them handwave reasonings to explain why she's still around.
"You know, Chandra likes to summon Phoenixes and that sorta made her immortal? And the heaT does help to retain her youth!"

I'm I the ony one that thinks Chandra looks like two different people in her arts? I know they were trying to go a different direction with her (giant orb-boobs + odd-shaped flaming head on top of six and a half feet of legs), but why are we seeing both the old version and the new version simultaneously?

It's actually not beyond belief. lol The tagline of the set is "Ignite your spark." We could see versions of Chandra, Jace, and Garruk that have just ignited their sparks.
I didn't say Ajani and Lilly because they've only had one printing as Ajani, Caller of the Pride and Liliana of the Dark Realms, but there's really nothing that says they couldn't get new cards either (To my aknowledgement).

Dear god I hope not. You damn well know Jace would be even MORE of an emo-wannabe pompous ass, that guy that claims to hate his life yet still overachieves and rubs it in people's faces
Lol and Garruk the meat-headed quarterback, Chandra the hot loner that doesn't realize how hot she is, Liliana the whorish teacher/librarian/secretary/nurse something, and Ajani the school mascot.
CURSE YOU HATTEROFMAD!!! now I can't get a lolsy blend of Magic and Highschool of the Dead outta my head.

Has anyone pointed out that her head/hair isn't entirely engulfed in flames? Every other rendition of her doesn't really show hair(She's a brunette!), just fire. This could very well be a younger Chandra.
I like the new Chandra art. I don't think she looks radically different than any other rendition of her. Similar outfit, anyway. And yeah, all of the planeswalkers' faces seem to change with each artist's rendition (e.g., Jace). I think just about anything is an improvement over the "duckface" and "pissed off" faces.

What the hell is wrong with her left leg? It looks like she has a saucer hidden in her boot. Was the artist taking lessons from Rob Liefeld?

I'm pretty sure Jace doesn't overachieve at anything except running away from his problems.
New art on a booster. Seems we got the right one for the new card.
Yeah, I liked that artwork much better than the first one. Of course, I guess there is always a chance that art could be on some other card--like "Chandra's Fury" or something.

I've heard there's this thing called "underwear". Apparently it prevents the exact sort of situation you're describing from happening.
