Someone who went to Worlds took these photos. We've seen the second (in a lower quality photo) but I don't think we've seen the first. It reminds me of an Escher sketch.
EDIT: This is TS promotional art, apparently. By John Avon.
The Avon pic looks like it has some familiar characters. The Avatar of Woe(bottom center) and Akroma(on the right), for sure. Who are the others, though?
Edit: Bah, too late...(Sephiroth_Owa beat me to it) Good to know who they are, though.
Avatar of Woe is walking near the base of the stairs
Nicol Bolas is storming through the top doors
Akroma comes to save the day on the far right...
The others I'm not sure.
It's to promote the "timeshifted" characters coming back.
the FS art looks intriguing. Judging by the way the art looks and feels, I'm getting a very positive feeling about it.
But does anyone know how Time Spiral and the block after it are going to tie in?

i see, sengir nosferatu, leige of the pit, akroma, avatar of woe, and serra avenger...
it seems to suggest a mix up, no?
more evidence for off color abilities?

I didn't even recognise the avatar of woe in the Escher-esque one, yet I have one that I love getting the bargain price of BB for. At least I recognised Akroma and Liege, yet I have neither.
Elspeth "we must fight to protect order and justice!"
Tezzeret "No! he will break all my artifacts and stomp my head!"
Vol "powerful dragon must be brought to heel!"
Ajani "**** this Im outta *planeswalks to lorwyn* wow what hell is this place?"
Little lorwyn goblin "this be the place of bad art and Tribes!!!"
All other Alara planeswalkers "hey where did ajani go???"
Jhoira looks a lot cooler in there than in any art I've seen her. This kinda rules out the idea that's a creature card, though.

EDIT: When I said 'not real art' I meant art not meant to be put on a Magic card.
Okay, thanks for letting us know. I'll leave it there for discussion.
I believe someone said that the character in the other photo is Jeska.

I guess everyone already knows that.

My Tamanoa decklist (RGW), infuriating my brother since it's so junky!
Or, it would make sense that the one in the back is Jeska, because it looks exactly like her.
I like that FS art. Briclot is a great artist.

You mean it's not an illustration (for a card). People seem to be bad about getting art and illustration confused.

Illustration could also mean the illustrated artwork on the inside of a magazine meant to illustrate an advertisement.
