Ashnod's Altar and Island

Custom token - Spider

I tried painting a Spider token since Ishkanah is pretty cool card in Standard right now.

Good bye, Lodestone Golem

Few more alters for Aggro Shops

I very slowly continue altering cards for Aggro Shops.

Zoo part 3

Zoo part 2

After painting Goyfs and Guides I moved on to other cards Umezawa's Jitte, Windswept Heaths and Taigas.

Tarmogoyf, Thoughtseize and Goblin Guide

I got a slightly different assignment...I'm supposed to alter cards for both Zoo deck and Workshop deck...so the Vintage deck alters will be mixed with some Zoo deck alters.

Aggro Shops - Sol Ring, Tormod's Crypt alter

Aggro Shops - Ancient Tomb alter

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.

Eldrazi Scion Token

Thopter Token

Wolf Token

I decided to paint another token. This time a Wolf token...because yesterday I was torturing some Burn players with my Huntmasters of the Fell.

Painted wolf...

Soldier Token

A friend of mine asked me if I could do some Soldier tokens. I did not really have time for that. Elspeth will see play only for few more months but here is the token anyway! I might draw/paint something else in the future (elemental did not go as planned).

Guru Island Sensei's Divining Top and Life from the Loam

Playmat - Jace Magic Origins

Saving Wasteland

Quite some time ago one local player was buying a heavily played Wasteland from someone online. When he got it he found out that the card was actually cut to pieces. There was quite a discussion (rather flame) about this. Some time later the card surfaced somewhere else and later it ended up in my hands. It was up to me to try to save it.

After altering few Wastelands already I decided not to alter another Wasteland in the future because it was hell to alter it. But when I got this Wasteland I decided to try to do something with it. At first I wanted to go for black and white one or a winter theme but in the end I ended up with 'simple' extension.

Tarmogoyf and Emrakul

Life from the Loam and Dark Ritual

my mood being really gloomy...I decided to alter at least something I could possibly sell.

Tundra

Mountain - landscape experiment

One day I'd like to be able to paint some custom basic lands. For that I need to learn how to paint some landscapes. I'm far from any good but I'm trying. In the future I might discover how to paint this or that and see if I can paint something looking good. So far I produced something someone commented as 'beta land'. Maybe later I'll be able to paint something less beta^^.
