I included the amulet she gives to Yawgmoth to summon her as well. I designed that as an adornment on her forehead, to symbolically represent the vulnerability she has in giving it to him and trusting him. It sits in the very place that he wounds her in his brutal betrayal later in the book.

In the foreground, as a bit of foreshadowing, is his schematic of the world within a world sphere he theorized was possible - having guessed the nature of Phyrexia before ever knowing it existed.

She holds in her hands a powerstone and the schematic of Glacian's breakthrough in the present moment. Inspired by the way a crumpled piece of paper can hold more rain, he determined the nature of the multiverse as being a world of energy folded in upon itself within the stone.

On the drafting table is Glacian's past - his previous schematics of the now mundane items of the Thran. Sedan cars, weaponry, and the schematic for the four stone illusory torc in the story. Paper takes up space on his drafting chair, now in disuse as he is confined to his mobility chair.

"Dyfed, the Guiding Hand" - 16"x20" Oil on Cradled Board AD: Deborah Garcia This was the first time I've read an entire book to really dial in on a Magic assignment, but I'm glad I did. There are a lot of narrative details woven in throughout her design and the scene itself. #mtg #mtgmbc

Queen Forfallen, for the D&D Forgotten Realms books. 18x24 Oil on Board The Queen of the Rusting affected Norlanders. This was a fun one to tackle, I had worked on the concept side of things for this book as well and it felt nice to come full circle on a finished interior. AD: Emi Tanji #dnd

Secrets of the Dead - 14x18 Oil on Cradled Board This one was for the bonus card in Gale's Ambition Secret Lair Drop. I've never given the tome to Gale in my games, I'll be honest I just save scummed that on my Tav, but it was fun to paint him with it for this scene. AD: Mari Hall #mtg #dnd #bg3

Lluwen, Exchange Student - 14x18 Oil on Board I had a lot of fun with this one, the character is just so charming and the idea of him tenderly feeding his little pest friends was just adorable and wholesome, especially considering how pests are normally treated. AD: Deborah Garcia #mtg #mtgsos

Emeritus of Conflict - 18x24 Oil on Cradled Board This was a fun one for the Secrets of Strixhaven set, my tiniest brushes got a bit of a workout on all the costume details. AD: Ovidio Cartagena #mtg #mtgsos #strixhaven

Chorale of the Void, for MTG Edge of Eternities. When I saw the Monoists in the style guide I was hoping to get an assignment that tackled that faction, so I was stoked to get to do this one. 18"x24" Oil on Board AD: Taylor Ingvarsson #MTGEternities

Teval's Judgment, my one piece in Tarkir. This one was a fun challenge to get across the more abstract concept of preparing to be judged to receive either pain or a benefit. 14x18 Oil on Board AD: Forrest Schehl #MTGTarkir

Just got back from a very fun MagicCon Chicago where it was great to see everyone, chat with con goers, and sign cards all weekend. While I was away, @amico.bsky.social shared his fantastic article with the Waterhouse master study I made for him on an artist proof, I'm happy to finally show it off!

Also coming along to MagicCon this year, my newly designed leather dice bags that come with a handy life counter pocket and include a life counter. They have a walnut or padauk accent on the front with a brass inlay, and come in a variety of hand stitched leathers.

Marauding Mako, my one card for Aetherdrift. This was a goofy assignment, but I had fun with it. The brief asked for a female shark folk and that took some push and pull, I chose mako anatomy for the head shape before the card was named. 14x18 Oil on Board AD: Deborah Garcia #MTG #MTGAetherdrift

I've moved away from the remains of Twitter and what a better time to start posting over here than when I have some new art to share. Bohn, Beguiling Balladeer - for the MTG D&D Honor Among Thieves Universes Within. 16x20 Oil on Cradled Board AD: Forrest Schehl #MTG #D&D
