I have started doing altered art for magic cards and have posted some of the first ones on my tumblr. Please check them out and any feedback is highly appreciated. I also plan on posting more and showing cards in the process so make sure and bookmark it!
Tried my first alter and I think it came out pretty well.
Its a cell phone picture so it didn't come out very well, but I would appreciate any feedback or tips you guys have!
I really like this. I like the 3 lines in blood, it's really visual and well done. The phyrexian logo in blood is also great.
I like the muted, water color look of this a lot. It's a great departure from the stronger acrylics. I just wish the art extended all the way to the borders.
I hope you do more stuff like this - it is a very good look.
Is that the best altered Jace I've ever seen? Could be, could be. . .
Lol, no it is not. Bigups Jaces with the word "Magic" floating between their hands takes the cake. Could anyone tell if the whole card was foil vs just the word?

It was just the word. he cut the foil layer from an EVT box and placed it on the card and painted around it
A really awesome thing to do! Really innovative.
I've never done anything related to art before, but after reading through these forums and the articles that people are writing on how to do it, I really wanted to give it a try. Here is what I've been working on. Some of it is original, but some, like the bolts, were inspired by works I've seen posted here, and I just wanted to try them out to work on my techniques.
Firstly, I would like to thank this community for continually inspiring me to paint. I have been a long time viewer but this is my first attempt to post art.
Secondly, please be critical. I am a competitive magic player. I do the ptq scene but it is becoming less and less fiscally responsible of me to play and travel for tournaments. My goal is to pay for my hobby by altering cards for my community. I have had moderate success with this goal but I feel I need and could improve. So, please be critical of my alters.
Thank you.
Here are a few samples of my recent favorites, both were commissions.

I'm sure the flavor accuracy is completely wrong or whatever, but the "new" flavor in this card is ridiculous and exciting. I love it, well done
Cigarettes are a lot like hamsters, perfectly harmless until you stick one in your mouth and light it on fire.
