Sweet! I'm glad my Halloween idea sounds good to you guys.

*hopes to see lots of Nightmare Before Christmas themed old-school cards for my cube*

I hope we do do a Halloween PnP, I started work on my first alter ever ^^
Quite inspiring!
Sadly, I'm not good enough to tackle a Nightmare Before Christmas theme...

I may even do an alter for Halloween (what? Oh my god, Matt can draw!)!

Yay!! We should do theme PnP's for each major American Holiday! And Canadian too, if your all feeling genorous enough!

No. Please god no. Some of us hate the Holidays and would rather not.

Halloween is a cool one, and maybe Christmas too... but not every holiday. There wouldn't be any non-holiday alters if that were the case.

Hey all. I know every few pages you have a random person come in and tell you how awesome your work is. I'm sure it gets very tiring seeing those posts as well. I have decided to go ahead and be that guy anyway. I really appreciate the time and effort you all put in to crafting these Altered Arts. I am continually impressed and jealous of the talent you guys have and really hope that you all are getting many commissions, because you deserve it. If I ever get myself out of "diaper" debt I will be sending some money your way.

Back to admiring your work from afar now

(oh I've only just recently registered for MTGS but have been a reader for a while. Thus the low post count)

even boxing day?

I finally overcame the inertia to buy acrylics and make cards again. here is my first acrylic card, just used for the background, and sharpie for the stencil portrait



photo is a little blurry. I'll post a scan when I get to office tomorow

vroman: It looks awesome, except your sig is way too big. Like... it actually kind of ruins it a bit. Otherwise, awesome.

His sig is always that large...Vroman was altering cards before this thread even existed, it's like a trademark.

Sehr gut, Herr Vroman.

Still too big...

Shouldn't we do the halloween ones nearer halloween?

I think we are.

Love that StP, though judging from my alters, I have a thing for alluring women as the centerpiece. T_T

I'd love to see alters for both holidays and will def try to participate

Unfortunatley I wont make it for BBE, too little time at the moment:rolleyes:

Nah, no misunderstanding Just wanted to make a side comment that scotch tape is probably not the best choice to mask your card with when painting with acrylics. However...

...interesting. I really dismissed scotch tape as useless because I had colours bleed under it. I used normal sticky tape for a while, before I moved on to painters tape which I am quite happy with. But maybe I am just to clumsy to use scotch tape the right way

Probably just depends on how you use it. I can definatly see the painters tape working well, just not the way I use it.

Also, I'd like to officially add my support for the Halloween PnP. Thought I agree that it makes more sense to post them closer to Halloween...

I suspect I too fall into the "wishing I had that skill" catagorey.

Tefari's Puzzle Box for the win!

Bigup's sig says October 2nd for halloween ones...
And given it is bi weekely, there will be a deadline that ends on the 30th, perfect for halloween the next day!

I'm so taking my alters to Zendikar game day!
In costume...

As for christmas, don't we already have the altered art card trade?
I first started this as a way to get free cards of that

EDIT: oh and here's my latest. it's not much ut it seemed like a good idea at the time and it should do wonders for the "deck" I have made from all my unused alters:

What costume??

The Christmas Card Exchange seemed a bit rigged last year... I don't think I'll participate this year... So a Christmas PnP sounds like a good idea.

Quote from Tyorl

What costume??

unfortunately I have yet to decide.
hopefully it'll be something that makes more sense than kimono and inflatable bat wings this year...

the point is, I get to play M:tG on halloween and therefore in costume and now I get to bring themed card alters too.

Quote from KriggY

HMmmm...Halloween you say? Hmmmm....We dont have that in Czech...But psychatog with pumpkin instead of head?

that sounds awesome but I'll be doing something from zendikar for format reasons.

if I decide to play vampires that is...

I tend to have some weird decks and none have been tribal since kamigawa lock.

@vroman: that is AWESOME. wicked cool idea.
