Leading up to GenCon, I thought I'd chuck a Magic: The Gathering drawing up on the ol' drawblog. This drawing is for "Fauna Shaman" and the finished painting (which you can see over at ROTTFACE NEWS) is one of my favorite that I have done for Magic. Yeah, you can argue that maybe it isn't my best piece - but a lot of the feelings I have for my artwork comes from how much fun I had creating it. In the case of Fauna Shaman, I had loads of fun.
In fact, I knew going in that this would be a fun painting so I made it a much bigger image than necessary. The cropline for the actual card art is roughly through the middle of Mr. Toad.
Anyway, if you're wondering what my status is for GenCon, again, go on over to ROTTFACE NEWS and waste some more time reading my writings!
Love it! The final painting is superb too.
ReplyDeleteAn awesome drawing. It does look like it was a lot of fun to create, all the enjoyable details in the costume. The finished painting is great too; I really like the way the green of the mound plays with the intense blue of the magic/incense/smoke with the character in between. Thanks for sharing them with us.
ReplyDeleteGreat drawing - great painting - super job !
ReplyDeleteYeah beautiful drawing. I think you probably had fun with it because it's not to different from what you usually would draw for yourself. I'm thinking of the character on your Aggregate book, cool looking fantasy girl with tons of fun detail!
ReplyDeleteThe bear staff is cute.
ReplyDeleteVery cool Steve, I love how the smoke is turning into moths, and the wildlife staff is great. :)
