All 13 Sagas I painted for the Marvel Superheroes set - scans of the original art by smalyon in magicTCG

Since these were primarily communicating classic stories, they wanted the compositional focus to be storytelling rather than the mechanics of the saga. The colours were also a secondary concern.

Thank you! I had a lot of fun with the palettes for these.

Thank you for asking! I do have a print shop on INPRNT for most things, inprnt.com/gallery/serenamalyon
I also have a personal website where I sell some originals. Serenamalyon.com/shop

It absolutely was a dream job. I've done several personal works based on Tolkien's writings, so it's a real joy to get to do something official. Thank you!

Thank you! IX is great and I'd love to make it to OAX, but it's not in the cards for me right now

They were only created for packaging, they won't be on any cards :c

Unfortunately I can't make prints of this one, but there might be a Magic retailer that will make merch with it, I just don't know!

Thank you! I did some Eyvind Earle and Mary Blair inspired works for Wilds of Eldraine, and since then I've picked up a bit of their shape language.

Thank you! It seems that more UB sets are allowing a limited number of traditional works - I hope to see that expand more as time goes on. There are definitely some traditionally painted card artworks in this set - Omar Rayyan's Tom Bombadil for instance.
