Because conservative bias is a far, far worse thing. Liberal bias doesn't, statistically speaking, make people stupid. Conservative bias (or at least Fox's version of it) does.
May be because butterflies are silent insects while flying, and transmit a peaceful feeling?
I agree, that one looks gorgeous.
EDIT: I didn't felt inspired enough this month to paint (damn depression), but I think I'll do something this week. May be an entry for the contest, or the Crystal Ball I've sketched... Let's see.
The concept of using butterflies was presented to me by the client. I paired that with an appropriate color scheme. I also wanted it to exude a sort of "water ripple" feel to it, echoing the mechanic of the card (that's why there are three butterflies in the picture).
The April altered card contest's deadline was extended one more week! C'mon, give it a try... This month's theme is to change a card art from day to night or viceversa, or to change the season depicted in the art.

Ugh, can I ask a related but tangential question to the artists amongst you?
I'm trying to find two METAL templates... One for circles and one for rectangles. The only thing even close I can find is these stupid "panel scribing" templates from LionRoar in China... I ordered one for $10 and the blasted thing is razor thin and not at all "X-Acto Proof". If anyone knows of a good source, I'd like a template with at least a range of 20mm through 25mm (it would be great to have a template with every iteration from 5mm through 30mm though).
I don't want to completely ruin my plastic template by trying to cut the inner diameter with my X-Acto. If anyone has access to a CNA/Router and wants to drill me one, I'm willing to pay up to $15 shipped for it... Hopefully that's not considered against the rules here - it's not an art commission - it's a plea for a custom tool.
Fairly clean alter that you have there.
Nice work
however, I feel that with the availability of the full art of Tam, in addition to her text box clearly showing the rocks/sea beneath her feet, that the 'fade to black' renders it somewhat ineffective.
I'd love to see it redone incorperating this-a challange, yes; but one that I shall also be taking up.

Man, I feel like its been forever since I posted. I've been CRAZY busy lately and am just finally getting settled into my new home. Anyway, here's a few of my latest commissions
Does anyone have a template for the large planechase or commander foils? I'm making a momir cube and I'd like to have some physical proxies of the momir avatar printed up and put them on those. Not sure if one exists, thought this would be the best place to ask for one though.
Don't think this is the right place to ask for that. Try in the Digital altered subforum.
EDIT: Now I'm taking measurements and actually reduced the image to fit the art box, it would be a hell of smallness to paint and even if I make it, the piece will be overdetailed... I think I'm going to use it partially, or I'll do a new different sketch (or perhaps I'll alter a different card... :/)

This is beautiful. Just gorgeous. Was there any particular inspiration for it?
