??!??
heing able to buy a banana in usd reliably at any time of the year is benefitting from imperalism. it is not a moral judgement or a statement on your class
“How bad could I possibly be?”
If you live in Australia you can get boba tea inspired by the planeswalkers in Dominaria United which is not what I thought I’d see when I woke up this morning.
Go wide, boy, go!
maybe i didn't "come back wrong" maybe you're just a bad necromancer. try taking a look at yourself before blaming others.

I think it's hilarious that hands down the worst way to learn magic is the actual rulebook. Please do not read that. It's just there for reference when something weird happens

Phyrexian Phollies Volume 3: Kold Times On Kaldheim
Took me a while to work on this one. Mostly because I was like in the middle of a million other things, and trying to remember the one wagner song from the end of That's Opera Doc, the primary inspiration for the background. (It's the Tannhauser Overture btw.)
Now I know that's a little 20 years ahead of the whole rubberhose hayday. With its more abstract backgrounds... And I was tempted to try and render Vorinclex more like a Loony Tunes big dog or boxer. But I'd already spent a decent amount of time on this version. What's a little historical inaccuracy? But you know what? Because I was wibbling between new style or not. I actually did do this in proper color as well.
I definitely drew some inspiration from Asterix and Obelix for a bit of Kaya's outfit, for the whole tiny guy(in this case gal) getting ready to pop somebody in the jaw (in this case with an axe). And totally borrowed Peacock's run for Kaya's funkly little dash. That's a good enough reference for like the ghost thing right?
Put together a couple proxies as well again. My initial thought was to do a 1-5 series with all the new versions of the Praetors on different planes. But A) I probably don't want to wait forever for that. B) I don't even know we'll get all the praetors on different planes. So I'm settling for just little miniseries with The Praetor in question, the object of their "mission", and I dunno, and a miscellaneous spot, for like something that wound up happening to them, or they wound up doing.
Like getting his arm Beowulfed (or would it be Grendel'd?). Felt appropriate to like use this as an opportunity to do the "Big Dust Cloud of Violence" thing. Teeth bones, and limbs flying. Two versions, one with reminder text, the other with more robust flavor text.
This might be a lot of fun. Jin Next?
I think we would have deserved an appril fool spoiler from Wotc, like a “Elspeth dies again” sorcery preview, and then they’d wait on monday to announce it was a prank.
Bace it's so weird, I haven't followed the MtG story since everything that went down with War of the Spark. But I really liked Neon Dynasty, and the realization that the Praetors are now definitely A Thing and I want to know what they're gonna do with compleat Tamiyo and everything and so. I read the New Capenna stories we have so far and I like them so much. It's just like how the story used to be and it's really good and I'm so happy it's back.
Neon Dynasty absolutely brought it with the story aspect- it helps that it got elevated by the fucking mountains of promotional material, but I feel we're really starting to see a return to form as of late.
There's not an underlying sour taste about it all anymore, and maybe that's just due to the passing of time, but I remember how fucking bitterly I followed the Zendikar 3 story. It was agonizing to try and show even a crumb of enthusiasm about it, and it was like spectating what I expected to be this horrible train wreck, helmed by people who didn't give a shit about fuck.
As it is right now, though, I feel I can enjoy it wholeheartedly- there's genuine worry, but it's focused purely on the narrative and not "how is WotC going to hurt me and lose my trust again?". It only took me until reading this ask, actually, to realize I'm engaging with the story like I used to be able to. It's nice- it's really fucking nice.
Oh no. I seemed to have fallen into some sort of rabbit hole. The next set is some 1930's sort of thing? Sort of got thinking about rubberhose animation and well... This is the weird thing that came out of that.
Basically I tried to redo the Phyrexian Praetors in old cartoon style.
The first one I did was Sheoldred, felt decently Betty Boop-y. Had a lot more trouble with the horrible spider butt with a very John Dillworth-y kind of smile.
Got into something of a groove and did Vorinclex next. And the big galoot felt very Bluto/Sinbad. The skull isn't as animalistic as his real face is, but I decided it was a good time to reference the Skeleton Dance.
The third one was Jin-Gitaxias, and he was just a delight. If a little odd to figure out. Won't lie mostly vibing off of "The Ghost of Stephen Foster" here. And maybe an old cartoon vulture or two. Went with an accordion spine leading into baggy pants.
Definitely the easiest one I wound up doing. Elesh Norn just wound up having some Olive Oyl proportions. Long limbs, offbalance noodly proportions to match her cumbersome headwear.
Urabrask was definitely the one I struggled the most with. Mostly because even in his main card art, its hard to tell what's going on with him. Plus there isn't exactly much that "looks" like him in old cartoons. Initially considered going a dragon route, before stumbling upon Andy the Anvil (Skullgirls) and just giving him weird boat smokestacks and a mouth that vaguely resembled a cow-catcher. Sort of get the industrial vibe.
And yes... there is a color version (of the characters at least). By the time I was working on the background I had thrown on Black & White filter, and was just trying to use more oil-painty brushes to keep it separate from the characters.
The background was meant to be an afterthought, I swear. Maybe I'll try and put a color version of that together too.
Anyways off I go... Doing my various other art projects.
