The Pieces Are Coming Together

Magic the Gathering; Archenemy
Acrylic. Approx 14" x 19.5"
Original Artwork for sale: £500
© Wizards of the Coast

This would be his finest creation, a machine of vast and unstoppable power, before which his mightiest foes would be humbled - if only he could maintain control of the energy that flowed forth from him...

This artwork was created for an unusual Magic card. It is larger sized, and the image fills the whole card space, with a semi-opaque text box covering the bottom portion. This explains why the emphasis of the composition is in the upper portion.

I enjoyed working with the electrical lighting effect, and tackling the challenges of making the machinery large and threatening.

Details of the cards and set can be found here:

I remember thinking how awesome this art was when I flipped to it in a game of Archenemy.

Incredibly well done, and kudos to you for doing it traditionally! I hope it's a good feeling that your art is still being noticed and appreciated years after its conception.

Your artwork is always stunning and really stands out in the larger size Archenemy, I end up spending more time staring at the cards than anything :D
I really love your choice of colours and your attention for details. Thanks for sharing your inspiring art and keep them coming ;)

Amazing, especially for traditional work. I actually have this card set. I especially like the razor-like wings.
