Magic: Games Gathered Here

Alexi, Zephyr Mage

This gal is a magical "tail-gunner" in Urza's fleet of dirigibles. So it is said.

Avatar of Hope

This one of my favorite Magic cards I've done. I've given her anceint Near-East symbology; horns for many centuries evoked virility, power and plenty, which the Minotaur expressed in the Minoan and Mycenaean traditions. The Pegasus is fleet and unstoppable, and the Centaur posssessed great physical strength and connection with nature. For you taxonomers, she's a Pegaminocentaurasus. She wields a tool which is a variation of the Labrys, and incorporates both the universally-handy axe and a scythe for the harvest. Plus she's on another planet -- that's the hope part.

Aven Archer

Bureaucracy

Cabal Patriarch

Chalice

A.K.A. Chalice of the Void.

Chicken A La King

Cloud Sprite

Darigaaz

A.K.A. Darigaaz the Igniter.

Dark Supplicant

Druid

A.K.A. Druid Lyrist. In the world of Magic the Gathering the druid was a generic figure, but for this painting I tapped a very specific inspiration: The character Harper in Marion Zimmer Bradley's The Mists of Avalon.

Elvish Champion

Evincar Crovax

A.K.A. Ascendant Evincar.

Gaea's Cradle

Goddesshead

A.K.A. Godhead of Awe.

Heedless One

Honor Guard

Icy Manipulator

Takara's Torque

A.K.A. Jeweled Torque

Lay of the Land

Merlock

A.K.A. Inundate.

Pegasus Stampede

The very first Magic card I did -- as a trial, to see if I was good enough.

Rhox!

Rukh Egg

Serra

A.K.A. Serra Angel.

Sheath

A.K.A. Royal Assassin.

Sustainer of the Realm

Tainted Monkey

Done for the Unglued set, but not let loose until the Unhinged set. And by then he had been cleaned up, de-toxed you might say. Aint digital retouching grand? But here he is in his original and undigitated state of taint.

Tree Charge

A.K.A. Doran the Siege Tower.

Tsabo Tavoc

This is unpublished, because Wizards of the Coast opted for a different Tsabo, one done by my talented friend Mike Sutfin. My emphasis was on the sicklier aspects of spider-woman venom and bloodshed -- Mike's was just badass and way fun.
