Beautiful entries everyone. Keep them coming too! We have just under NINE days left in the contest, so I hope to see some more entries from some of you all.:D

And to finish...Catherine mentioned to me that she's been playing a lot of Super Mario Galaxy recently...I love any artist who draws inspiration from Nintendo!

My oh my Catherine! Look at you getting all absolutely amazing on us with that Crucible. Excellent work and VERY creative too. Definitely one of my favorites from you FOR sure. Keep up the excellent work!:)

The isamaru reminds me of PBG's, but they were rushed (no offense.)

It looks like my Isamaru head combined with the Shiv volcano in the background from the Teferi playmat I did.

I think the biggest critique that I can offer to anyone who is asking is this.

Tighten up your borders. Look at the works of the best alterers in this thread and you'll notice one consistent thing about all of their works. They always keep their lines clean. The key is to make the cards look and feel as though they were designed in the way that you've altered them. If a card was designed in this way you definitely wouldn't see random markings in the text box area or title bars.

I mention this, because it's the one glaring thing that arises whenever I see an altered piece. Well, that and color blending.

With that said, keep the art coming. i love seeing new alters and I love to see who's willing to take the next step up and raise the bar for everyone!:)

I also feel the art should be extended art. It should be the majority of the card in my opinion.

*sighs* we've already discussed these mats in 3 seperate topis, why do people keep making new topics about these when they're old news?

These are not made by ultrapro. GTS produces them through someone, I don't know who but the mat I have from them from another set has no mention of ultrapro on it. These were only made available as retailer incentives by a distributor when they ordered or preordered a certain amount of product. Thus, only some stores will have them and choose to go through the effort to get them and sell them then to players through their psychical or online stores.

For like, the third time i'll post this:

It's going to be okay:rolleyes:. It's just a news post and not the end of the world. If it has been posted elsewhere prior to this, then obviously it didn't gain much attention where it was at. In addition, when I posted this thread, I clearly stated that I "believe" they were made by Ultra-Pro and in no way, shape, or form, clearly say that they were indeed a 100% "for sure" Ultra-Pro product.

The first post on them was titled Prerelease Playmats on March 27th. Within that thread there was a link posted to a site that offered the mats. Nowhere was there an image attachment or spoilered images for people to view outside of the links of THESE mats. On top of that, it was IN the Rumor Mill section and in the middle of a thread about the Shadowmoor prerelease playmats. Obviously they're not rumored.

I appreciate you adding extra information to the thread about the nature and origin of this product, as I'm sure the many individuals who were previously unaware of this product, appreciate it too.

Wow! THAT was just amazing! Can you please tell me the name of that opening track of music that plays and/or send it to me. That was just stunning! Excellent work and welcome to the boards!

Do you do requests? lol

I decided to try my hand at foils again

Yawg! That Skullclamp is DOPE! I love it and I love the fact you created it on a foil too. Excellent placement with the art and everything. Great job!

i like the island and forest. where can u get them from?

I'm usre they'll be available soon. I know of one location that has them here. I would assume Star City and other such places will have them soon enough. As for the size of them, I'm not sure. They claim to be "extra large" play mats, so I would assume at least as large as the past play mats, based on that alone.

If I come across a definite size, I'll post back here and update this post if there are no new posts.

I'm listening to Bram Van 3000 - Drinking In LA. I have about 100 songs on my play list on MySpace if anyone wants to check it out. You can PM me your thoughts or hit up my Helpdesk.

All links are in my signature.

I think the card is very well designed. I tried to think of other ways in which they could achieve the same goal without breaking the card and it proved rather difficult. Kudos to whoever designed that one. Extra turns can always be a tricky thing to work with.

These should become available anytime. I believe they're made by Ultra-Pro.







There you go! What do you guys and gals think?

I am simply amazed that people honestly think that Darth Maul > Wolverine. Wow.:no:
