I'm sure many of us have seen alternate art versions of cards. Sometimes the original artist will redo the original artwork and create something quite different. Seeing as this IS the artwork section of the forums, I thought it might be nice to post some of these variants here and invite others to do the same. Even if it's your own work, please feel free to share.
@PBG: those arts are sick! the mind's desire and the terror are my faves of those. i seem to remember you having an altered morphling with optimus prime and megatron on it. something like that. i know it had optimus. why not post it? do you have any others?

I used to have that Morphling and I miss it so. I believe I traded it for two foil Masticores. Here's some more....
Here's some of my brother's altered cards he's picked up over time.
The Voltron 'Tog is done in acrylics, the rest is marker/sharpie, I think. He got that ebay guy to complete a playset of the Ponders for him.
My brother doesn't alter, just picks them up from ebay whenever he can.
I've got a question - HOW is it possible to write in sharpie like that? I assume that you need to erase the border beforehand, but how do you do that? Help anyone?

None of the cards posted where created by me. They are the creation of someone who is spoken about often by the name of Nevea (spl?) I believe. That Voltron Tog is amazing. I soooo WISH I owned that, as I LOVE me some Voltron.
Holy crap - those "popular auction site" cards by GB or whoever are awesome. I'm gonna have to start doing those. I'm gonna start trading custom cards again here in a couple of weeks - I've gotta get some colored sharpies I guess.

I've messed with paint markers before, and I have a question - how the hell can you make colors like that? I haven't been able to mix the colors b/c paint markers dry REALLY fast - anyone here know how to achive effects like on that incinerate with sharpie paints or decocolors? O_o

I propose a challenge to FPM and FKiH and Spiderboy and anyone else to make a template for cards like that... that is so sick looking... i practically cried at its beauty...

Man, after seeing the incredible works on this thread, I just had to go and try something for myself.
I was making my peasant deck and I found I was lacking 1 Momentary Blink, so I took a Leave no trace and I erased almost all of the card and used a ballpoint pen to draw that.
It is time consuming (mostly the erasing part), but I found this to be super cool. I mean, its like making your own card! Hopefully, I'm gonna show this to my clubmates tomorrow :D.
Edit: Oh man, I just realized that I didn't erase the expansion symbol, I guess I'll have to do that once the ink dries.

I'd love to give this a try, but what kind of markers do you use? Sharpies really dont seem like they're doing a good enough job for me. Its like I can write in black, then write over the black with a bright red (which for some reason sharpies done really come out bright like most of these examples).

Did you paint those? If so what are you using as a medium. I tried acrilics once, but they came out all cruddy.

He says that his medium is sharpie (colored, obv.)
And I now know what I can do with all of my white bordered stuff!
