"Old" art post, that makes me sad I can call it old...

Spawn of Thraxes Promo! one of the first pieces of MTG art I ever created

@BenOakleyAuthor left was ~1k for a small publisher in 2015 right was 4k for a larger one. Left took 1 week right took 2 or more. Considering how specialized my skills and the value this adds, not enough IMO

If you expect to get paid fees to live on for your creative work, artists do too.

QRT with your improvement (I slowed down after 2014!)

Very old cover sketches. I miss doing weird things

Oh yeah I forgot:
the herb pouches have that etched leather detail, but each section having it's own design:
Overall design is of a tree, top to bottom, with the top area depicting and holding the "soft" herbs and foliage with the bottom depicting & holding the roots and such :)

Brief suggested showing the effects on non-related items, so magical levitation and freezing etc. First sketch though felt less powerful and awe inspiring tho, and we realized the COLOUR was a big unifying factor. This was too saturated compared to the rest.

Sorcerer iconic class
AD Kara Kenna
A tough one! a sorcerer has no real necessary "items" so it was more a presentation of their natural powers. A cosmic background hinted at the primal origins of their magic but how to keep it in line with the established presentation?

My final sketch addressed the armor colour but also at the ADs suggestion saw the items floating as if on invisible racks. It was here that the pattern of the whole series was set

My second sketch greatly abstracted the background (decided for some fun impressionism that mimicked dappled light), but a growing concern was that the grey leather would read as metal.

My first ranger sketch (no pencils, right to digi) followed the brief closely, but I hadn't abstracted the background nearly enough. The BG in all of these were only to hint at the possible location most of the time and let the equipment stand out
