@THFM, That Arbok is HOT! How do you get the cards to scan so cleanly so you can see the color and detail like that? My scanner seems to hate magic cards, believe it or not I actually used the color purple when I was painting :-/...
@gogogosammy, I like the lightning bolt pikachus too, but this is the best pokemon ----------->
EVOLVE YOUR PIKACHUS!
Everyone knows the best pikachu was def Ash's. And his never evolved. And he beat Team Rocket with pikachu alone how many times? Exactly. Pikachu=best. Raichu < Pikachu

So ONE Pikachu in the entire pokemon world counts for them all? Ash's Pikachu is super special, and that's about it, but it's not even shiny! Besides, Ash's Pikachu lost the first time it battled any Raichu that appeared in the show, and only one the rematch because of Ash's strategy. That proves that a Raichu's raw power is superior to Pikachu's even when being trained by a idiot... it also proves that Ash is pretty good at using psychological warfare to beat an opponent that can easily overpower him.
And as for Team Rocket, they could be beaten by a wild Pidgey that has a broken wing and is recovering from a night of heavy drinking, and only knows sand attack! Thus it all adds up to prove this equation true! x >= y (With "x" and "y" serving as an unknown variable.)
I thought wizards was going to stop the "real world" feel. Thats why Grizzly Bears was changed to Runeclaw Bear. Diminsh is awsome but quoting Alice's Adventures in Wonderland....what? Oh well.
I think alters like this (with just a random picture of something covering some of the card) are best done to foreign cards.
thank you =D
it like it alot. I'm gonna put it up for trade/sale I guess, but I dunno how much. fourhorsemen did help me out though, but I dunno how much to value them at =P;;
@ CardKitty: That Sol Ring alter is amazing. The detail on that Juzam is unreal.
@ Sysel: That Abyssal Persecutor alter is really sick. Simple and clean.
@ thefourhorsemen: The detail in the Joker Brainstorm is really stunning. How you get your alters to look so clean is, well... it's a real talent. Cheers!
Wow! I really really like that Enchantress.
It looks like your painting is getting smoother and smoother, the bottoms don't have as much texture as before.
ALL PAINTED CARDS should look similar to the bottom of the Enchantress, maybe a tad less shiny.
Also, expect my late pokémon entry soon.
I'm still pissed I thought the wrong date

they do. Its the camera flash that creates that effect (take a look at the scans in my gallery and compare to the photos. You wouldn't notice the difference in real life).
I use a brush on varnish that leaves minor brush strokes that are visible in strong light or at certain angles, and I am forced to take pics at an angle to avoid glare off of said varnish. I want to pick up a spray on varnish to see if it brightens the colors up just as much as the one I'm using now. The shine fades a bit as the varnish cures.
For example: a photo of a thrax I did a while back.
And the scan of the very same card: I'm linking because its a ridiculously big pic:
The photo does is not truly indicative of what the card looks like in real life... the scan is. Which is why I weep every night for lack of a scanner...
The Jhessian Infiltrator is mad! I don't like the Bayou, I don't like how there's only part of the name line left, although I'd still play it over a normal one.
I'm sure you can reduce the large peaks in the brush on varnish.
I don't even bother to varnish cards, personally. I have friends who have been playing with my stuff for years and it has never damaged or faded.
And the finish of Golden Acrylics is almost the same eggshell finish of a magic card.
You can make paint perfectly (95%+ tolerance) flat, I would think keeping the varnish super thin could do the same.
it can be offensive for several people, especially religion oriented ones... If this is as restricted as any other "R" rated material, please remove, anyways:

yay, I love the Brainstorm, looks awesome! just the letering on the back of the magic cards look a little off, other than that, I love the colors and the idea!

That's a really nice Elspeth alter. Smooth work.
