A clan for the artists of MTG Salvation.
Welcome to the new thread! Note: our members/friends lists are undergoing major organizational shifts. Check back in a week and a half for final versions. If you want to be sure your name stays on our lists make sure you post here soon, preferably before I do final edits at the end of next week. If you don't see your name and you want it there, just post and remind me. Or let me know if you see it somewhere it shouldn't be. I'm llama-brained enough that I'm sure I've left someone out... must be the paint fumes

Planesjaywalker I left off the list on purpose. He vanished. Vanished from the art forum, vanished from here, vanished (as far as I know) from the forum. I'd be glad to return his name to the list, but he has to reappear first.
I think it'd be on-target to use the term "distract" as a keyword in the contest. And "Abrupt Shift in Leadership" as a card. And I want some enchantment that at the beginning of every player's upkeep phase makes them flip a coin for each creature they control. On a heads, you remove that creature from the game. If every flip is tails your creatures get +2/+2 'til end of turn. Return your creatures at the beginning of your next upkeep.

Yeah, I wasn't talking about his absence from the list, but rather from the forums. It's weird as hell, since he used to be very active back at news, and was even a mod here! I figured you guys would know. I still have his MSN, but haven't talked to him in ages.
the Sig/Avatar shoppe thing I´ve got going on...
Ah, tell me something... do you guys work on existing avatars there? Say, add something to an existing milkbox cartoon animated gif.
Hey Llama. sorry I've kept spelling your name wrong...
By the way, My name Is Trenton (Trent) if you want to call me that. I made a cool picture in my social textbook today, maybe i'll post is at a later date.
Also, wouldn't it be cool to have a little BIO under eacher member's name, then have an example of their art??? Cool stuff.
I'll link peoples names to pages of their art if they want, but I'm reluctant to clutter the first post with too much biographical information. If you all decide you want it there though, well, I'll change it to whatever you want.

@llama; Lovin the christmas pic
@peter; Nice, nice definately no Ogre-ish-ness happening anymore!!!
@Kris; I find you post ironic for some reason.
There was stuff I wanted to say make comments about in the last thread, but I'm to lazy right now to go and look it up and do all that typing.
So I guess thats all for me right now.
LoL, why bring it up? That like calling sommeone and telling them you'll call them later (true story)
Peter, yeah, at one point I had the other 11 days... at this point I can only find the sketches of 1-6 and 11-12. It's "Two llama friends" "Three little sheds" "Four scoops of sand" "Five hired hands" "Six rolls of fencing" "Eleven show invites" and "Twelve blue ribbons." 7-10 were llama supplies, feed and hay and things.
Anyone who wants there name linked to something, could you please let me know what you want it linked to? Thanks.
*edit* http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=25400 Sooo tempted to rant... so aware of the fact that I don't post in the debate thread for a reason... The Llama isn't very good at logical construction of arguements and tends to get torn to shreds in debate... and any post I made would quickly turn into a rant about schools and modern American "morals..." *grits teeth and goes to lurk in art forum for a bit*
WHoa..........got lost in the last thread. Anywho's........
@Llama: Christmassy Llama! WAIIIIIIIIII! That's awesome. Lllamas rock my little world. It looks really good. Also, I'm jiggy with everything, including the bios or site links up there on the front page. It's cool.
@Peter: Looks good, looks good. You produce a lot of art with quite a bit of speed. It all looks good in general. The coloring seems to be working well out on the Ice Elf. Good luck with that.
@PurpleD: I remember sketching in class. My teachers in general hated me doing it, because I've got the wonderful ability to multitask. I never took notes, and yet seemed to still manage to answer questions and pull an "A" out of the class. All while drawing in my sketchbook. I think I filled something like 10 of them in a little under three years of high school. I've slowed since then, but still enjoy it.
@Everyone: I don't know if you've seen this, but obviously Llama and Peter have. The next clan contest is up (and since I've now subscribed to the clan council, I'll remember to check it), and we've got to get our stuff together and make some mechanics. Llama's posted some ideas, and I'll just collect them and make them available in a .txt download every once in a while just to review. Give me suggestions and we'll discuss.
Here's what we need, as posted by votan:
You must create 2 Mechanics that personify your clan. One of these mechanics should be comic (designed for a set like Unglued) and the other one should be a serious mechanic that will be judged by power level, etc.
You have to create a Block name (main set + 2 expansions) and using that mechanic, you have to create 6 cards (1 of each mechanic for each set) using those mechanics.
I like Llama's ideas for the cards, and I think that Peter was on to something in the last thread. I think overall, however, we should definitely design a mechanic in the Unglued Vein that has to do with the artists (obviously), and something that has to do with Chaos (as we are kinda chaotic) for the regular mechanic. I think this is a fun and difficult contest, and we need to get to work 'cause I have to post it no later than Christmas day.

Yes, I agree with Mel, Trent. Give it some more time, and you'll find you'll get better and better. Keep at it, and it'll come eventually. Also, by going and finding tutorials, you can learn how to really harness the power of Photoshop, which is one of the most incredible and versatile artistic programs on the planet. Just Google up a tutorial on whatever you want, as there's usually hundreds of them. Try looking for one on how to do metal and wood for the sword. ^_~

@ Mel, I have a strange question to ask you. I'm writing this short story and my main character needs a name. Since I'm horrible at coming up with good names I was wondering if I could use yours?
Lol, just thought I'd mention I used the names of my fellow Greek clanmates for characters/Legends at the Palouranos block (namely Konstantinos, Kreon, and soon Poulidis).
I´m wondering how would you guys pronounce it... My name I mean... It being oh-so-very-wierd and all :D)
Well, if I'm thinking in Portuguese, I'll pronouce it "MEH-lees". But the English-speaking me thinks of it as "MEEH-lis". How do your fellow Estonians pronounce it?
@Meelis: May-EL-lis, quite possibly MEE-lis. Not quite sure. I don't normally speak Estonian (albeit wouldn't mind learning). Comes generally from loving learning languages.

Hey guys, thanks for the comments on my sword. Indeed i will continue to play with it. and yes, I tried to incorporate as much Dimir as I could, as someone asked.
Any more ideas for the new clan contest (mechanic)?
@Mel: Just 32 letters? Hey, that's doing pretty good. In addition to German (mostly fluent, albeit haven't spoken in a looooooooong time, so I'd be a bit rusty), I also know Mandarin and some Japanese. Learning just 32 letter wouldn't be too tough, as learning enough symbols to read Mandarin is proving to be interesting. The reading isn't the hard part, so much as the writing. It's a lot of repetition to remember. My goal in life is to eventually be able to travel to anywhere in the world and be able to speak at least one language that'll get me around (or close there to). It's slow going, but hey, I'm still young.
@Everyone: Does anyone speak any other languages?
@Warchild: Ach ja, das Arbitur......Viel Spaß..... I had a friend who finished with his a year ago. Hardly talked to him, he was so busy. What type of school are you in? And yes, The Art of War sounds like a wonderful set name.
@Kris: Wow.....the longest I've ever slept is 40 of 48 hours. I was pretty damn sick to do that. Blegh. It seems difficult for me to even get 8 hours on a consistent basis. When one works at 4:30 in the morning, it throws the sleep schedule out the window. Anyway, glad you're feeling better.
@QA: Her shirt looks like it is plastered to her skin, but just on the torso. I'm not quite sure how you'd fix it, as it obviously needs to look tight enough to keep her warm.....hmmm....coloring's good overall. Might I suggest that on some of the ice (if possible) try giving it a more translucent look? That might help a bit.

Well, I was thinking about doing something clever with it for the new year, but I'm yet to decide what. I'll need some brainstormin', I reckon.

As for the mechanic How about;
Master Illusionist 2UU
creature-Wizard illusion
(name) 2U; Discard this card, copy target creature with CMC equal to this card
Not sure if the wording is right, but I think it reflect your ability to create things. For names, I was thinking "craft", "conjure", etc.
