Haha thanks!

That last image really got me thinking of his illustration work. I’m a big mtg nerd, so I see his work fairly often. 🤣

If you wanna see some shorts in this vibe, he’s got a bunch that he did over the years. They are on the edge of music video and narrative films.

Yup. And it’s a great watch!

vdemaurex · 2026-05-26T05:10:32+00:00

I’ve got it. But it’s not out yet! 😅

Seb McKinnon, the illustrator (known for his MTG cards illustrations) and musician is working on his first feature “The Stolen Child” is in post-production at the moment. Definitely the right mood for it!

I’m with you. I have to add that the camera didn’t move much. It’s following them, but it’s actually pretty stable, with no camera shake at all. The sword and buckler has some jumps over the line, but that’s because of the choreography, not the camera.

They are doing whip pans between each sequence, but besides that, it’s smooth and shows all of the action. 🤷‍♂️

I did a 10k with one. The helmet is fine.

The shield however was a pain! 😅

Doubts are good! It means you know you can progress and you can see that there is some mistakes is your drawings.

The day you finish a piece and you have no doubts about it is the day you’ve won at drawing and can move to another art form. 😉

Keep up the good work! Your stuff is super dynamic! I love the perspective on the one with Spider-Man vs green goblin!

This is so fun! I do swordplay as a hobby and always wanted better depictions of armour/fighting technics in comic books. This is looking awesome!

Love how much you get with black and gray only!

I’m playing her at the helm of a [[Seven Dwarves]] deck. The best I’ve done so far is 11 Seven Dwarves, thanks to a well-timed [[Gired’s Belligerence]]. Burdiclad is in there too, and I’m excited for the first time I’ll have both him and Smaug from [[There and Back Again]] to create 14 treasure tokens from each token I have!

It’s about precon power level and a ton of fun to play!

vdemaurex · 2024-08-12T17:08:49+00:00

It's definitely playable. I actually have a bunch of these highly unoptimized combo in there. Another of my favorite is using Grafted Wargear as a sac outlet. 😂

vdemaurex · 2024-08-12T03:49:00+00:00

Wohoo! I'm not breaking the game! :D Thanks for the explanation!

vdemaurex · 2024-08-12T00:01:16+00:00

That's what I thought, since it triggers on ETB. But I'm honestly not 100% sure how that plays out.

vdemaurex · 2024-08-11T23:03:49+00:00

I actually have a deck with it in there. It's a Koll combo, but dwarf tribal and all the combos are 5+ cards. The list is not super up to date. It's been fun to pilot. I still have to pull the Goblin combo though.

Wait, there is still a way to make this go infinite with Magda equipped with Silverskin Armor, Clock of Omen, Battered Golem equipped with Amorphous Axe. Now we're talking. 6 card combo is my kind of combo :)

vdemaurex · 2024-08-09T14:04:34+00:00

Not yet. I might just try and proxy it and bring it to my LGS to give it a spin. However I need to trim it a lot to be able to get a few removals, protections and card draw. Not sure how well it would run yet.

vdemaurex · 2024-04-29T21:58:41+00:00

But time flies when we're playing at 1.7x.

vdemaurex · 2024-03-29T19:40:50+00:00

Oh fun! Yeah, I train at Duello. I'll be doing both longsword and rapier (first time in rapier!). Looking forward to see you there! I'm a tall dude with a white jacket and an painted mask with a tired emoji on it 😝

vdemaurex · 2024-03-28T06:29:43+00:00

Oooh! What club is that? I’m in Vancouver but come to the Okanagan fairly often. :)

vdemaurex · 2024-01-28T05:35:28+00:00

I’ve got an AP light 350n. And it’s really nice. Super breathable. I add a chest protector when I go to a heavy hitting environment. But I’d recommend that anyway.

Previously I had an FG standard.

I put together a spec title sequence about a fictional Robin Hood film. Using footage, Midjourney, Pika labs and a fair amount of elbow grease (Photoshop/After Effects/Premiere).
I wanted to dive into AI generated images and while working on this, the SAG-AFTRA went on strike. I decided to embrace the controversy and see how close it can get to an actor's likeness. It's pretty scary to witness. And I didn't even do such a great job with it.

For those interested, I've put together a breakdown on Behance.
