2024 06 14 — Ayy, I'm Makin' Magic (The Gathering) Over Here

Hello friends,

This month brings a new traditional piece and a couple exciting client projects. First, the traditional:

A three-winged, many-eyed angel resembling a crown of thorns hovers above a black tower. Near it, a Wormrōte sigil reads 'A Slow-Moving Tower of Babel'. Behind them, a faint collage of hymns can be seen in the background, and various details such as sigils are gilded in silver and gold leaf.
Sigil 5 (A Slow-Moving Tower of Babel)

I'm really pleased with how my traditional work is progressing, and I'm excited to see what the next month brings. Until then, I've got some client work to share. The first is for another Merveilles resident, Bad Diode.

An album cover for Bad Diode. A geometric, many-winged, angelic entity resembling Bad Diode's logo reaches down towards a monolith bearing Bad Diode's name in Wormrōte.

The second announcement is that I got to make a card for the Magic: The Gathering Regional Championships! The card will be available to all participants, and I'm so honored to have a small part in it.

The MtG card 'Sleight of Hand', which depicts two serpents — one rainbow and one black — intertwining over a geometric figure.

Finally, just for y’all, I have a couple extra things to share. The first is that the Oracle Deck is coming along wonderfully. I’ve got a first draft made of all 60 cards, and now I’m well into revisions. My hope is to have them ready for a Kickstarter campaign in the Fall! Until then, I’ll be sharing close-ups of some cards as I progress on Patreon.

A preview of 15 cards, all in primary colors.

The final announcement is that I’ve got a couple open slots remaining on my Patreon Collector’s Tier. I’m starting a new collector’s card set this month — the theme is Locations, and there will be three cards sent out from June through August. Here’s a preview of the first card:

I hope this month treats you well, and I'll see you soon!
