Assorted MetaZoo sketch card commissions: Gee-Gee Bird and Old Scratch, Kentucky Hellhound and Hoop Snake, baby Cumberland Dragon with little kid Rose Robinson, and the Headless Coal Miner.
Battle Angel Alita! A new watercolor painting I've done for @a_n_d_gallery 's 2022 Anime Art Exhibition!
Spirit Veil is one more spell card that was asked for at the end of the MetaZoo: Wilderness art production period. It was one that was going to be extra powerful, or extra rare, or something. Something extra.
Skeleton Token is a MetaZoo: Wilderness card that features the fiddle-playing accompanist to the Banshee of the Badlands. I kept it simple for this one, with a plain, abstract background instead of a full environment.
Another Wilderness spell card for MetaZoo: Jeering Rocks. Pretty straightforward in concept, having a large Earth-aura creature heckling a beastie of another type. Both the Stone Man and the Explosive Rabbit just seemed like the most natural cryptids to cast as bully and victim.
Transfiguration. Another Wilderness spell card that is a reissue of an earlier MetaZoo card.
Growth had been a card in previous MetaZoo sets, with imagery of newly-sprouting plants. I added a Jackalope to this Wilderness version, for variety and because it seemed like a good idea to add cryptids to any spell card that I could. I tried to make it as precious as possible😆
One environment card for MetaZoo: Wilderness. The desert card that Victor Larson did for the Cryptid Nation set looked to me like maybe the Mohave. The desert card I painted for Nightfall was the Sonoran. So for the Wilderness set I did a scene of the Painted Desert.
The Honey Island Swamp Monster is another character assignment for MetaZoo: Wilderness where I was like, "This one is mine. This one is for me." A kind of manic, feral swamp rapscallion who makes you feel you're gonna get an infection just by looking at them.
