#custom magic card

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 Once you thaw out that turkey, do you prefer roast or deep fry? 🍗 And then pumpkin pie for dessert!

I've been making my own custom Magic the Gathering cards for a while now, but I started really getting into it this week and thought I'd post some!

Sorry for the blurry pictures, I really tried to get nice ones, but I have very shaky hands :_:

These are in chronological order, and the first three are ones I made earlier in the year, all the ones after are the ones I made this week

Hope you guys like them! I'll post more as I make them, but this is all I have as of now

This is a commission I made for my cousin! He wanted me to make custom art of a Magic card he had called “Karametra, God of Harvest.” I don’t know anything about Magic but I was told that she was similar to the goddess Demeter so I went with it lolol.😅😅 I made two versions of this piece, but the only difference is one has color dodge and the other doesn’t lmaooo. My cousin is the one that added the boarder to the cards in the last two images and I think it turned out very good! I hope you guys like it to!🧡🧡🧡

I made a Magic The Gathering mockup card for my friend Draco and here's the result! We did a secret santa this year and I just KNEW what I wanted to make for him. I also commissioned the physical print with the right size and back of the card. It looked nice :)

Lyrical Miracles

What's the word? Several words. Maybe I've been a little down on outside sources in MTG as of late, but there are opportunities to use one's love for source material as inspiration. Inspiration leads to creativity, and with however many songs are out in the world, I hope there's a lot to be inspired by this week. I'm keeping the preamble short because honestly—I've never designed a card in the way I'm about to challenge y'all with. Whatever you come up with is going to be uniquely yours. That also means you're going to have to find a strong basis for your presentation! So—

Design a card that uses a song lyric of your choice in either its name or flavor text.

When submitting, please tell me what song it is! Part of this is curiosity, and part is just verification that we're quoting correctly. It'll be tempting to change the lyrics to fit grammar or context, but I want you to adhere to the exact words.

It doesn't matter where you get the lyric from as long as it's from a song that someone would be able to look up and listen to. If you yourself are a songwriter, that's a wonderful vocation; I'm also gonna ask that you use a song that you yourself did not write this week as an additional challenge. Honestly this is a really niche requirement unless Bob Dylan has a secret Magic-themed Tumblr or whatever.

Obviously, you don't have to use a whole line if it goes too far beyond the name bar or stretches the FT box. As long as it's long enough to be recognizable.

If it helps the world of the card, you can attribute the quote in flavor text to a Magic character and/or the subject in the card, etc.

Sometimes song titles are also in the lyrics, that's understandable. If you're going to choose a quote that includes the song title, I wanna stress: I don't want to see card names that are just song titles, 'cause that's a whole different contest that I think we've also done before and defeats the purpose of this being its own thing. Yknow?

Branch out! This one's not a requirement, but these cards don't have to be music-themed at all. I use the Prismari campus just 'cause that one happens to hit the inspirational theme. Let the lyrics guide you towards feeling, and put that feeling towards a card!

Most importantly: have fun <3 I think we've done this one before but it's been a long time and I don't...think it was me running it? Eh, either way, I'm a poet, so let's go nuts.

A winning card will be an impactful and/or transformative work that uses the flavor text in ways that elevate the emotions, situation and context of the work at hand.

I'm looking to see cards that either lean heavily into the heart of a song lyric or skillfully subvert the lyric to emphasize a card's presentation.

Alright, trying again without a typo. Had this idea for a proxy and I didn't remember seeing one of them around, so rendered it quickly. A while since my last proxy

More custom cards! After someone pointed out to me that the solid color mana was hard for colorblind people, I've started trying to add the little symbols into the color costs. They're hard to make look right, since it's very small, but I'm doing my best

I really like the idea of melded creatures and I wanted to include some in my cube of made up magic cards. But in a draft it's not very probable that you'll find both halves of the melded creature.

So I thought, what if it was more flexible? So I designed a melded creature that you can build out of 2 fortifications and 2 creatures. But which fortification you combine with which creature is kind of up to you.

I'm really proud how this turned out!

Makes me think I'm kind of a good illustrator, you know?
