Some time ago I got a Facebook message asking if I would be willing to alter a deck. I said yes, but at that time I did not know what kind of deck it would be and what kind of alters it should be. Later I found out what the deck is...(it is not the actual decklist, but you get the idea)
Few days ago I was given the cards and a deadline (which is in Novemeber). This seems impossible to do since I have a fulltime job now but I will try to do my best in altering those cards and maybe few months from now or a year the cards might end up all altered. If by a chance this happens one day I'll try to take a photo of the whole deck.
The thing is I don't even know how they will end up looking. I'd like to produce some nice alters but with some cards I'm certain that to achieve a good result I will need to spent hours and hours on a single card. (for example Wasteland, where I took roughly 10 hours to make it look ok. After painting on three copies though it should take less time, I hope?). With some cards I would prefer painting on something else first and then on the actual card which would also take way more time than I actually have per card.
The money I get for this alters is about 50% of the lowest price I usually ask for. So the owner will have to accept what I paint and will have to let me do the job in my free time and feel like doing it.
So here's the very first little step to finishing those 75 cards - Ancient Tomb. The alters are not yet finished, I will need to tweak it more (add more light at some places and change the colors slightly). But that is something I'd like to do when more of the cards are more or less finished and add those finishing touches to all the cards then.
Here is the first step - Ancient Tomb
Hopefully more alters will follow soon.
