MTG Salvation

Galspanic, that is very impressive, I would love to see that in person. Great work dude

Muffin Man: Thanks
Slatts: Very clever
NightmareAffair: Great work
Klug: Unglued lands are sweet, I look forward to the finished product

Nothing too crazy, some recent commissions I worked on

Petal Collector: Thanks, I am pretty happy with it.
Nuvo: Great work, I especially like the Wheel of Fortune
demonium: Beautiful work
Impose.Fate: The swords look great
Fiz: I think it is nice overall, although I agree that his hands look tiny
DreadWaffle: I like the effect on the Think Twice
Sandreline: Fantastic playset
Slatts: Cool stuff
Kit_Katters: Nice work
YuriuS: Awesome work
Dewil: Haha, that's great


Here is something I did for fun, based on some other art. I've seen this idea in this thread before, but here is my attempt

@demonium: Is that Enlightened Tutor based on a photo of someone's wife? It looks pretty nice.
@poxy: Thanks. The Entomb and Vampiric Tutor are sweet
@Nuvo: Thank you
@YuriuS: Thanks. That Liliana is beautiful
@bigup: That Brainspoil is siiiick.
@Dewil: Nice work. I especially like the Winter Orb
@Oliver W: Those Hymns look great, the texture is very nice.
@Galspanic: Awesome, keep it up
@Sophie: I Lol'd. Nice work.
@7H0R: A good beginning. Although, your brushstrokes seem very thick, might want to keep an eye on that.
@Bristol: Soooo sexy. I love how much drawing is done on your paintings. You are still one of my favorites.
@iplaythisgame: Oh snap indeed. Nice job
@petal collector: Fantastic work, I think the Coiling Oracle and Gaea's Cradle are especially nice.

My two cents about painting around letters: I usually do my best to paint around them, and then just clean them up as I go with a dull x-acto blade, being very careful of course. Sometimes, if I am painting in thin layers, I will just paint right over letters, then pick them out after each pass, but that is very tedious, so I try not to do that too often.

Here is something I did for fun, although I may trade it away, not sure. Anyways, I feel like this may have been done before, but it was quite a while ago, so I can't remember

Fantastic site, very useful

@YuuriS: Thank you
@demonium: The Grim lavamancer is beautiful
@Nuvo: That Vendilion Clique and Sol Ring are fantastic
@klug: Awesome work. I feel better that I'm not the only one who leaves fingerprints in the paint
@Galspanic: Your deck is shaping up nicely
@rabbit: I appreciate what you are trying to do. However, I think that the tarmogoyf on forest is the most difficult to recognize, the other ones I could guess straight away
@bigup: Teddy bear dismember is the best ever
@sandreline: Darth Vader looks sad, hehe, but great work.
@petite-nuit: Very clever ideas, all three of them actually. The dark ritual effect is very convincing.
@yawg: Much improved over the original fishes


Some more mario themed commissions for a friend of mine, although these don't fit the theme of their respective cards quite as well as the others I did
Here is a card I painted for my EDH deck a while ago (inspired by something yawg posted a long time ago, if I remember correctly). I think I need to totally redo all of the lettering. I used some rub-on letters for this, and I don't really like them anymore, I will probably just write them out by hand

@TTTF: Fantastic work. That ninja reminds me of The Foot Clan from TMNT, very cool.

Painting cards slowed down for a while, I feel like I've really been missing out, but I'm getting back to doing it more often.
Also, I still love you guys and appreciate all of the awesome work and inspiration that I find around here.
Anyways, here are a couple things I don't think I've posted before, a few recent cards, and a few from many months ago

I just wanted to chime in and say that I would love to participate in a site sponsored competition. Also, the quality of work on here is really going up, and you guys totally inspire me, and I'm glad this little community is thriving, and I love you all

Definitely fake, you can tell by the fact the all of the text is white, and not black like a real one, as well and a very thin gap between the loyalty and the edge of the card

I will suggest the following changes
Innocent Blood out, Fleshbag Marauder in - you get Volrath's Stronghold Recursion, also, it means never having a better creature
You might also cut a swamp for Maze of Ith

Font of Mythos is not an acceptable replacement for Howling Mine, since both cards rotate out of Standard at the same time.

EDIT: It is possible, and likely I think, that another variant will come along, something that does not have the "if it is untapped" clause, since that is outdated, and possibly confusing to some people

I also have a Korlash deck, it's definitely a great fun deck. I have a few suggestions

Maze of Ith replaces Reliquary Tower
Sol Ring Replaces Vampire Hexmage
Beseech the Queen replaces Royal Assassin

Also, good call on Cabal Conditioning. I've never seen that card, it's crazy! Pestilence Demon has also been good for me
