Q: If I was to use #Kickstarter to fund creating an original fantasy painting, available as a print ranging from letter size to 2' by 3', would you be interested in supporting it? What size would you want? It couldn't be Mtg, but what fantasy thing would you like to see? Prices (guesstimates here) would range from $15 to probably $120. With some super rare stuff in the $300 category. So what d'ya think?
Interesting picture... however Is it just me, or does he look like Tucan Sam?
I will say they should bring him back as a character, he was one of the more interesting figures in Magic, definitely deserving of his own legend card.

Well, I created Gix, so armed with a jpg of the original style guide page (which I drew) I'm pretty set for reference.
I will eventually try this with Gix but that's no small task and definitely something I will have to tackle when I'm much more experienced with ZBrush.
However, tomorrow on the blog there will be the start of another (but simpler than Gix) 3D project. Given my track record of Magic creatures, you may be able to guess what it's going to be.
Looks like a strong start as far as I can tell, Pete! I'm no artist, but I definitely see the potential in the program, and he still looks like a Pete Venters character!

Pete, I think I may just have had the most awesome idea in the history of the world.
If you did some 3D models of your famous characters, then ran them through a 3D printer, you could sell them as action figures.
Heck, I'd buy as many as I could afford!

Oh, I've been following the technical improvements of 3D printing for a few years now and I have some ideas on what I'd like to do. HOWEVER, I cannot do sculpts of my famous characters from Magic. They are copyright WotC which pretty much nixes any unlicensed creative endeavors.
Pete, that token is awesome!.
Also, can you tell us if we can expect some of your art in this block?.
I was kind of bummed to see none of your work in Innistrad. Good to see more of terese nielsen and gianacola though.

I've mentioned this before, but maybe not here... I'm not in the entire block. And I can assure you that when i found out the genre for the block I was really really unhappy that I wasn't included.
Frankly I have no idea if I'm being offered anything in the block for 2012 either.

Hilarious!
I love that duelist picture, it makes the avenger look like a character rather than just a really angry pointing tree.

It occurs to me (literally just now) that eventually I should do this with Gix too. Don't hold your breath. I've got a lot of learning to do.

I like the piece (though I'd have made the nose bigger!) but man, I would have liked to have been in that set. Looked like fun.

More art from you is always a good thing, fo shame that this FTV is a complete dud.

What's FTV? I suspect I should know, but I'm running on way less than normal amount of sleep.

From the Vaults - It's where they reprint 15 cards from magics past. Each has a theme (Dragons, artifacts, in this case Legends).

:thumbsup:. Do you have much art for Gix? I hope you do have the chance to get around to trying this with Gix.
They hate us cause they ain't us.
