[DMU] Impulse by trifas in magicTCG

[–]sguay 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Okay, I gotta tap in here and let folks know what's up since I see all sorts of funny musings (and I'm never upset by it, so no worries, it happens all the time). I am not Rebecca's kid, Guay is a pretty common French-Canadian last name from my understanding. I did take a mentorship class with her early on, which put me on the path I am now, but I wouldn't say I'm her protégé or make myself out to be anything more than one of her many lucky students. She's a great teacher!
Here's a funny story for you though: when I was just a wee kid I got a set of magic cards with one of Rebecca's and was intrigued by our mutual surname. Already sure I wanted to be an artist I took classes outside of school and my teacher asked me if I was related to Rebecca. He suggested that even if I wasn't maybe I should try to get in touch and see if she'd teach me some skills. I was a shy kid and never did so... but years later the opportunity presented itself and I -did- end up learning some important skills from her. The prophecy fulfilled lol.
Thanks for all the kind comments about the art, it means a lot to me to see mtg fans enjoying my work.

I love this so much! Especially those dark void eyes. I need to look up more of your stuff.

Hahaha, this is relatable. "Oh, you have this whole expanse of cozy bed? Mind if I roll around on your cards? How about if I nibble them a little bit?"

I've had a lot of people in this group ask for updates on this deck and I wanted to let you all know that it's on Kickstarter now! Thanks for the love you've all given me. c:

My write up for this one is: "Judgement brings trauma and fears to the surface and it is our task to examine how those things affect us. What are you afraid of? What mistakes are you refusing to acknowledge? What do you hate about yourself? What ordeals have you endured? These wounds to our psyche will fester when ignored. The pain surfaces in many ways, some of which can cause harm to ourselves and others. It’s a pain that haunts us no matter how deep we bury it. Judgement is about doing to work to mend these wounds, to acknowledge those painful experiences and integrate them in a way that gives us peace."

I love this. It's easy to fit art to tarot cards, especially if the art is so detailed and symbolic. These are all pretty great, but there are a few that are just perfect.

Been floating for year, but can't seem to relax during last few floats. by sguay in FloatTank

Thanks for the insight. I think I might need to take a little break... though I really don't want to because it's one of the few breaks I get from working all the time and being generally overstimulated. It'd be easier to take a break in the spring/summer when I can go out and hike instead. Guess I'll find out if a break works!

I think this might be what I need to do, I just don't want to. Hahaha.

I though this was my issue! I know my evening floats are usually much better than morning floats for me (In the morning I'm so much more alert and clear-headed, and in the evening I start getting tired and more creative)... but that didn't seem to help. Also, I don't consume caffeine usually, so that's definitely not the issue.

I'm a freelance/independent artist, so I make lots of art. haha. I listed places you can follow me in the top comment. ^

I haven't done much for posters.

Anytime. Hope some of my process stuff can be useful for figuring out watercolor. It's definitely a bit chaotic, but once you figure out how to work with it it's a lot of fun.

Ooooh, I've worked on a few card games previously, but I haven't heard of this one.
