Can someone please direct me to a post/forum that specifically teaches how to do alt. art cards? Paints? Markers? Brushes? Pens? How to start it, how to make it last... things like that.
I've looked a bit through this forum for it, but it's mostly people showing their work. And it's hard to get through all the pages to find this info. Thanks.
@ Dr. Teeth - That Tezzeret/Urza alter is unbelievable. Maybe I just missed it, but I didnt notice a signature on it. That thing is far too awesome not to sign.
@CardKitty - As a animated Clerks fan myself, those alters are bad@$$.
Me neither for the exact same reasons. If I were a known commodity it might be different, but nobody is buying my work for the brand name (yet... mwaaa ha ha ha).
Anyway, I've had 2 sick kids at home with me and have been high on NyQuil for the last week, so it's been a little slow with the cards. I have managed to start about a dozen cards and finished this one though:
Excellent. I love the old pulp feeling from your leviathans. The look cosmic and ancient. Ever consider giving a Marit Lage token the same treatment?
I just looked and those damn tokens are $10! If I can get ahold of one though, I'd be all over that. Marit Lage is really Cthulu like and I have always thought that Dark Depths was one of the most evocative and beautiful cards and the Token is pretty amazing too.
{edit: Nevermind. The token only comes in foil, and I can't draw on foil. I guess I'll have to Proxy one, but that might look good too}

WHAT?! I picked mine up for £2 half a year back. Wish I still had it now...
Im looking forward to see that because when you look at any card you will see that blue cards are in blue tones and same for red, black, green and white.
if you ever get a pen that looks right for white, please do let me know.
So it's been a while since I had time to post anything. Here's all the stuff that happened in the meantime (note: the colors on the monitor where I was scanning these in were (I hope) horribly adjusted; Kamahl, for example, had bright orange legs. They look better on my monitor and in person, but now I'm uneasy):
Cloudstone Curio #2
I do love me some Curios. Maybe I'll make the third one pink.
Bloodbraid Elf #2
I think this one turned out much better than the first, except the skin tone is a bit dark.
Whiplash Trap
Someone (Galspanic?) said that we were too good for this.
He was wrong.
I did this from memory, though, and it's been a while, so I think I'll have to make another.
Kamahl, Fist of Krosa
My new EDH general. Nothing like beating down with some 10/10 tramply lands.
The next four are part of a trade (hopefully).
Darksteel Ingot
In retrospect, I should have made the colored stone sphere things much smaller, but I guess it's all right.
You left a pawprint/sig off Silent Bob. (Or maybe I'm just not seeing it.)
Those are awesome btw..really nice set, thematically/stylistically. Tight.

I hadn't really thought about it. I do have blue pens, so maybe I'll give that a shot.

I really like your lands, the style is different. The paint is a little too thick every now and then, try to improve that.
Other than that, very cool
@Vendetta: Top notch as always!
