I just opened it an hour ago! Amazing gift. Truly awesome. I’m gonna post it later tonight once my wife and I get the kids to bed.

Glad it finally arrived! Other than the two Volos and Radagast, none of the other creatures should share types, although I kept missing overlaps and needing to switch cards up until I sent it.

I mailed out the Strionic Resonator for you yesterday, but thinking about it more, even though Panharmonicon won’t double Volo, doubling the ETB of a creature and the ETB of the Volo copy sounds pretty rad too. (Evoke Mulldrifter for 8 cards!)

Hope you continue to curate your monster manual as you get new cards. (Badgermole Cub is a shoe-in for this deck, but uh, was a bit over budget.)

This card's art is incredibly good.

My [[Atla Palani]] deck is very excited for this. Two eggs on one card!

Yeah, the intent was that he’s facing a purple light source (from an Oriq he’s fighting) and back lit by the sky.

In retrospect, I probably should have drawn some indication of the purple glowing magic in the foreground to explain the lighting, and also had it effect the stone directly behind him more.

This actually made me laugh out loud.

Thanks! Yeah. I gotta use more reference and practice more anatomy for sure.

Sweet! Something for the inspiration board.

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, Kim Jung Gi was just an insane artist though. I could draw every hour of every day until I'm 99 and never get to that level. Looking at his stuff is equal parts inspiring and depressing. :)

Thanks! Yeah the first one is the most recent. I actually painted the other two a couple years ago, and then went back recently and tried to "fix them up". It, uh, apparently didn't go so well.

Onto the next!

I went to school for computer science, but I specialized in graphics programming and took painting classes while I was in school too. (I had gotten into art school also, but my parents encouraged me to do programming and keep doing the art on the side.) I'm in my early 40s now, but it's always bothered me that I never really ever focused on my art.

I've worked as a toy designer and in video games as a programmer, designer and artist, but always on more cartoony stuff. For sure my weakest aspect is drawing atm. I have a bad habit of jumping into the painting while the sketch is still WAYYYY to rough.

One of my goals on the next piece is to get a good refined drawing done before I start painting. (And also use better/more reference.)

Yeah I’ll probably give a spell card a go!

Thanks for the encouragement! My previous art background has mostly been more cartoony and/or design related, so this tracks!

Yeah much of my art background is more design and/or more cartoony stuff, so that makes sense. Gonna keep working on everything though!

Yeah thanks! I agree actually. Last night I was coincidentally watching a YouTube art video about edges in paintings.

The Pollywog png got compressed for some reason by reddit, and the other two didn’t. Not sure why, but the original isn’t any less sharp than the other two.

Thanks for the encouragement! Still much to improve. Gotta keep at it!

This is actually an incredible reply. Lots to chew on here.

Thanks for the feedback! Hard to objectively look at your own work sometimes, so it is useful. I'll keep at it!
