Leaf it to them. #Pokemon

Prevail.

Happy people.

Be there; or...?

The Darkness Kitty.

For #FlashbackFriday, it's #MTGinktober 100, "Misfit," starring nerdy Tamiyo, the Moon Sage & the popular kids: Vendilion Clique plus Will & Rowan Kenrith! It's nice that our hundredth illustration is another original #MTG extrapolation of the characters. Triple digits...& only about a third done.

For #TBT, it's #MTGinktober 99, "Ornament," starring Silumgar & Tasigur, the Golden Fang! This is definitely a bit out there, but this was just my #MTG version of those tacky, digital stickers people would put on their videos to show swag and such. Might not be quite as in fashion as it once was.

Sorry, Hannes.

Enjoying the rain, at least.

Classic headache.

Sorta there.

Took five to draw.

For #FlashbackFriday, it's #MTGinktober 98, "Wild," starring Domri Rade & Vivien Reid! This is one of my least favorite slang words lately. It was amusing when Bill Nye the Science Guy would say it, but now it's used for everything, always. Anyway, neat, little #MTG x Jhonen Vasquez mash-up here.

For #TBT, it's #MTGinktober 97, "Legend," starring Jon Finkel and Crossbow Steve from the Battle for Zendikar Octopus token! The background is from Shadowmage Infiltrator, of course. This was back when I more readily drew real-world #MTG people. Enjoyable drawing a nice, quiet one every so often.

Now, I don't want to seem unkind.

Mourning survey.

Off to Ono?

I know, right?

They say it'll rain soon...

For #FlashbackFriday, it's #MTGinktober 96, "Overgrown," starring Isperia, Supreme Judge and Assassin's Trophy! Usually just looking at these old #MTG drawings triggers a bunch of memories, down to the feeling of physically drawing them, but I'm kinda drawing a blank here. The branches were tough.

For #TBT, it's #MTGinktober 95, "Ash," starring Chandra, Acolyte of Flame & an Elemental! I was pleased to have completed ~300 #MTG illustrations w/scarce few ink spills--& most smudges were neatly incorporated into the final, plus I usually caught errors in pencils, like forgetting Chandra's hair!

Testing out a marker brush set little by little--just the round brushes here, since those seemed to be closest to my dear, old Copics. I noticed this old photo of an old sketch from an old sketchbook that had pretty crisp, straightforward lines and that seemed like a good spot to try these markers.

Not much.

I wanna feel that same sense of calm I wanna feel that same sense of peace ...

Be optimistic.

Just the instrumental.

For #FlashbackFriday, it's #MTGinktober 94, "Dragon," starring Sorin, Nahiri, & Ugin! I'm not super up on #MTG lore, but drawing these canonically linked PWs in Toriyama's style was a joy. Man, Toriyama had been the last notable person whose death really stung, but Kai Budde's has been tough, too.

For #TBT, it's #MTGinktober 93, "Snow," starring Alexander The Great Hayne of Canada! I have generally stepped away from drawing real-life #MTG people these days, but this was right after he'd published his incredibly moving and personal article, and I wanted to salute his efforts. Hope he's well.

I guess.

The gist of it.

My favorite performance of one of my favorite songs from my favorite band, Motion City Soundtrack. Hopeful. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DY5G...

A kind of emptiness.

Drawing a blank.

Can't focus.

For #FlashbackFriday, it's #MTGinktober 92, "Pattern," starring Pattern Matcher! Def. one of the oddest fan arts I've ever drawn--a salute to various patterns that have special significance in #MTG. For all the splashy stuff in MTG, there are also so many incidental things that make Magic so neat.

For #TBT, it's #MTGinktober 91, "Swing," starring Mu Yanling, Sky Dancer & her Elemental Bird token! This may seem like quite a random #MTG illustration, but it was in support of the Hearthstone guy who'd just gotten banned & lost his winnings, especially after I'd just seen the Joshua documentary.

Seeing double.

I tried the wall-drawing feature on someone's Strawpoll(?) page. It took me back to when I'd draw on my classmates' walls, both online & in person, as our dorms each had little dry-erase boards near their entrances, so I'd just doodle for random people at 3am. Those were the days. Oh, to go back.

Just a collection of old studies...every day we get one line closer to getting better or just wasting more paper, I guess. I really don't know.

Can't get up for falling down.

Uphill, but at least there's some muscle memory.

For #FlashbackFriday, it's #MTGinktober 90, "Frail," starring the Aetherborn from Die Young & a Thopter token! I've drawn so many of these #MTG illustrations, some I flat-out can't even remember drawing, and this is one such illustration. It is neat how little chains of memories come back, though.

For #TBT, here's #MTGinktober 89, "Enchanted," starring Slippery Bogle and Angelic Destiny! The head beams are from Daybreak Coronet and the X from Curious Obsession. For Algenpflan-art I always include a "swooshy B" (ß), so that's in there, too. I love when I can make functional #MTG depictions.

How it feels.

Just learned what a "lagniappe" is again.

@gdekker.io Sorry to bother, but just wanted to let you know the Power9 puzzle still distinguishes between "enters" & "enters the battlefield," which it erroneously says is still ETB abilities' oText on Alchemy cards. Checking this card in Arena, & it's simply "enters." scryfall.com/card/ysnc/29...

Like snowfall.

As usual.

Man...missing Christmastime already...
