My first ever professional illustration job! Goblin SWAT Team. Back in 2003 I met a Magic art director at a #SDCC portfolio review and landed my first commission. I am sure I had heard of #magicthegathering from doing some industry research but had no clue what the game entailed.
Here is a shot of young Gideon—known as Kytheon Iora at the time—in a prison fight.

I had not planned on going this clean with the line art for the Weirdwood books but kept with it curious to see what would happen. I hoped the extra time put in would save me time elsewhere, and it did.

Tireless Tracker. I’d like to say I go all out and buy numerous expensive props when shooting references for an illustration, but I don’t. A Wiffle ball bat is my favorite prop of choice!
In the reference you can see a sketch printout in the grass in front of me.

I don’t think I have shown these oldies before. Not exactly sure where they are from but I know they were created for Privateer Press. Most likely their No Quarter magazine.
FABLEHAVEN Book 3 - GRIP OF THE SHADOW PLAGUE repackaging, featuring Kendra and Seth on the back of the centaur Broadfoot. Plus, a couple of alternate ideas and the chosen sketch.
