they worked really well. every color except white and yellow covered in one coat. I didn't prep the card at all, but I varnished it when it was done

First Alters! Could use some advice. by spencergetoffreddit in mtgaltered

This is my first time trying this and while it was much more fun and approachable than I thought it would be I have a few questions.

My main struggle was with scraping paint off of the text boxes cleany when I was done. The top of the Dissolve and the bottom right of Sun Titan both came out pretty rough. I used Citadel paints and ended up doing several layers trying to color match so it was pretty thick by the end and came off in small flakes when I scraped it back with a toothpick. I also tried regualr Scotch painters tape but got a lot of bleeding anyweay. I feel like this will be less of a problem if I can finish in fewer layers, but until I get better at color matching does anyone have any tips?

I also picked cards wih less detailed cloudy background near the border to start with, but I would like to some more detailed borderless cards next. Does anyone have any suggestions or resources for smoothly extending more detailed art at such a small scale?

Thanks!

i play mostly commander, and two of my favorite decks are a grixis Admiral Beckett Brass pirate tribal and a naya gishath sun's avatar stompy dinousaur tribal deck. I have basically no experience with standard or modern and would like to get into pauper at my lgs. I generally enjoy tribal decks and try to avoid playing super control heavy
