Anytime you have 5 items and you want to arrange them equidistant from each other it causes a pentagon to form, which of course can be turned into a pentagram. People are just crazy...how else should they have arranged the five colours? A straight line? That would suggest a hierarcy! Not what they wanted to go for...
Just looking at it, it's possible that it's due to a ink problem when printing? Notice the blue on the uncommon symbol is also kind of missing, and the grey in the split mana symbol doesn't look quite right either...
Like high resolution art for all the cards? No, not that I know of. Sometimes the art is posted on the artist's personal website, but usually they're pretty bad about keeping those things updated.
I like some of the other artwork on your site too, like Little Sun Titan.
BTW, nice to see this place hasn't changed much. I've been away far too long.
I thought it was great! I'm sure it'll look amazing when it's all done.
I'm guessing a lot of people will use Mirrodin, not sure why I'm guessing that. :-p
Keep up the good work!
Too bad about the unpaid custom job. Maybe you'll have to start asking for a deposit up front for customs?
Anyways, these are all great. If I ever want a mat, I'm definitely commissioning you.
BTW Chrome Kaldra, love your new avatar.
