No, I don't mean Ice Age. I don't even mean Alpha. This week, we're going to do something a bit crazy: do something totally unrelated to magic. The medium is a banner and an avatar. The rule: you may only use artwork that was created prior to the 20th century (meaning 1900 CE back).

Bleh... I'm getting tired of themes that are based on restricting our choices of artwork. Only Phelddagriffs, Pitch Cards, Shades, and now Old Art? I'd prefer to see more themes like Guilds, Cuteness, Your Favorite Mechanic, or even a "Pick your Favorite Artist" week where we choose one artist's artwork and use it to create our submissions. Let us make our own choice on what artwork is acceptable, then let the voters decide if our submission fits the theme.
Anyway, here's my submission for the week.
BTW, he did cut his left ear, but his self-portraits are inverted... Probably because he used a mirror.

When I do that, people start yelling at me because the theme is ill-defined :p. I like those kind as well, though, so I think I'll brave the storm soon and try something like that again.

What about magic art from before 2000?
Sure, as long as it's also from before 1900. Which kind of rules out MTG art :p.
Old Art
Now, hop to it!
I think that you mean back, right?

Just so everyone knows, I had a cool animated avvy of the Vitruvian man spinning around, but the filesize was too big. :mad1:

Sig and Avvy by Mr. Stuff
Looking for people to test T2 with me on MWS, Pacific or Mountain time preffered
I don't think that's really the same at all.
Hmm, well I'll either have to think of something else or let mine stand next to Topher's, and that really doesn't seem like a good idea. Heh.

The accursed stock for my avvy was so aged as it came that I couldn't really get the colors to match... Ah, well. I tried.

Sorry about that! I knew that I'd need to hurry on that one!
Van Gogh is one of my favorite artists, but I'm not really into alot of classical art.
