🪼 All these years ago, I never imagined I'd get to revisit Kozilek at this scale! This playmat will be dropping on my Eldritch playmats Kickstarter campaign this fall. Follow along, I'll be sharing more of the process. 👁️ Link in bio, my friends! shorturl.at/4zN8P #MagicTheGathering #MTG #Kozilek

I loved drawing both of these illustrations. 😍 When Nahiri's unbreakable will meets the raw force of the Primeval Titan, the landscape tends to break apart!! Which playmat are you bringing to your next game? 🤩https://shorturl.at/4zN8P

You know I like my data and working with @aleksibriclot.bsky.social I had to make a little graph showing the popularity of each of the playmats design from the Kickstarter campaign. I expected the Sliver Hivelord to be popular, but not twice as much as the OG Vraska. cc @crowdfunding-agency.com
Pie chart graph showing the popularity of the different artworks:

Thoughtseize	                35%
Sliver Hivelord	        24%
Vraska the Unseen	12%
Angel of Serenity	        12%
Avenger of Zendikar	9%
Venser Shaper Savant	8%

In 2022, I worked with Aleksi Briclot on a Kickstarter campaign for Magic Playmats with his art. Seems like we might be doing another campaign this year (playmats, and token, like in 2022)... and he shared this video of one one the token illustration he is making.
