Hi #artistsontwitter !
I'm Julia, a fantasy artist who does some Magic and more :D
6. If possible, show that you can get different cultures and references right.
We all know the iconic planes of MtG - as one of the artists, you need to able to follow artistic guidelines to get their unique feelings across. Versatility is a good thing.
5b. This does not mean, everything needs to be rendered to death - but shape design should remain thoughtful and purposeful even where soft and lost edges are used
3. Be aware of the focus. If you have a magician with a staff, ask yourself if the card is about the staff(artifact), the mage (creature) or perhaps even the spell. The composition and focus of the illustration should shift accordingly! Clear action is important for readability
2. Be versatile about your topics and compositions. Zoom in, zoom out. Don't fall into the trap of your own comfort zone zoom level of showing things.
1. Always keep in mind: these are card illustrations, they have to be readable in super small. Strong silhouettes and value structures are a must have
for the lulz.
Better don't mention the whole painting is about illusions.
