I’ve been looking forward to sharing this one for almost a year and a half: Sauron, the Dark Lord. From Magic, the Gathering’s The Hobbit expansion. Oil on gessoed watercolor paper, about 18 inches by 21 inches. #magicthegathering #thehobbit

Bookending the last post with a Magic the Gathering piece I did several years ago: Consecrated Sphinx. Because it too, was a nod to a 1970’s album cover . A band named Rush, an artist named Eraldo Carugati. 😊

Fresh from the new Magic the Gathering set #Strixhaven: Silverquill, the Disputant. My age-old habits of staring into the depths of 1970's album covers shows in this one, too – inspiration from the art of Dave McMacken on the Leftoverture album cover.

A recently-delivered commission. My client wanted to see “Serra Angel” in battle, so I dove into Magic the Gathering lore and came up with the Terisiaran revolt against the Sheoltun empire for context. Also a possible clue as to why there are so few muskets employed in Dominaria… #SerraAngel

Another dainty from Magic the Gathering’s ‘Lorwyn Eclipsed’: Scuzzback Scrounger. I just make them, I don’t name them! Oil paint on gessoed watercolor paper, just sold. #LorwynEclipsed

21 years ago: The City of Towers was published—not only the first novel in The Dreaming Dark trilogy, but also the very first novel and fiction in the new Eberron setting. ✍️: @keith-baker.com 🎨: @markzug.bsky.social #Eberron #DungeonsAndDragons #ThrowbackThursday eberron.fandom.com/wiki/The_Cit...

Faeburrow Elder, also from #LorwynEcliped.

A couple of my pieces just released on #magicthegathering cards, from #lorwyneclipsed.

According to Scryfall, in all of Magic the Gathering card art, there are eight (8) which include opossums. I did two of them. And they weren’t even required. They’re optional possums! scryfall.com/search?q=art...

www.markzug.com/noble-gases/... Hey, Musk. You can’t take the sky from me.

youtu.be/eZb9ShrZHrQ?... Didn’t think my second ever post would be political. Musk has to represent the most profound disappointment to me of any public figure in recent memory. Space news enthusiast YouTuber Matt Lowne says it well.

I’m pleased as punch to inaugurate my presence on this here fine and fledgling social app with announcement of my newly re-vamped and re-designed website, the work having been done by my inestimable wife @janellebender.bsky.social. Long may we flit. www.markzug.com
