Not a lot of time for edits lately, but here’s a quickie from the Ravnica art preview for Allegiance.

Unfortunately I’m not sure who the original artist is for this one; I’ll update that when more info comes out.

Just a quick and dirty edit of the SDCC 2018 Liliana promo.

The original artwork is absolutely stunning, provided by the legendary artist Terese Nielson: http://tnielsen.com/

Another dumb boob edit of the M19 planeswalker Vivien Reid.

Original art by the absolutely incredible Anna Steinbauer: https://www.artstation.com/depingo

A ridiculously busty edit of Samut, the Tested from Hour of Devastation.

The original artist is the extremely elegant Aleksi Briclot: https://www.artstation.com/aleksi

Have you considered doing any of the following: Garna, Tatyova, Warlord Radha, Queen Marchesa?

I looked at Radha back when she was spoiled, but I wasn’t confident with an edit at the time, plus she’s pretty thicc and already has a considerable amount of shock factor.

Tatyova is WAY up there on the “I’m a fish” scale (fish scale...) and her pose with the orb kind obscures things. While I enjoy the designs of the Dominaria merfolk, I’d rather work with the Zendikar subjects.

I haven’t considered Queen Marchesa, but the latest Conspiracy art looks inviting.

To be honest, I didn’t even know Garna was a woman until I read the biography insert, I have to update my risqué report draft with that information.

A mildly short WIP video featuring a time lapse of some of the typical durdling that takes place when trying to work with an image. This is the first 45 minutes crunched down to about 5 minutes, the whole edit took about 2.5 hours.

Adeliz was originally portrayed by the incredible Zezhou Chen: https://www.artstation.com/zezhou

No, I’m not trained with the software; no, I don’t know what I’m doing regardless; no, this is in no shape or form a “tutorial”, so proceed at your own risk.

I decided to try something a little different with this edit; the dynamic pose on Adeliz in combination with my lack of true artistic influence makes is difficult to interpret the perspective of the piece and where to properly place and angle the anatomy.

A subtle edit of Adeliz, the Cinder Wind. The original artist is the incredible Zezhou Chen: https://www.artstation.com/zezhou

No, I don’t think the shirt works.

Do the impossible. Do Samut.

It sounds like the plausible thing to do, but for some reason I think the end result will be terrifying- with that said, I will most definitely consider it.

It’s Interesting that both ZEN 2009 and BFZ 2015 have 28 cards that show any of the given tags using this system, but ZEN has to cram 108 tags on 28 cards while BFZ only has to work with 69; both sets are not too far apart in size either, (269 vs 299)

I don’t know what to with sphinxes most of the time, sometimes they are just cats with heads, other times they literally have giant boobs and I don’t know whether to just give them the boob tag or simply coat it with the implied form tag since it’s not exactly humanoid.

Rivals must be one of lowest scoring sets that contain over 200 cards. I guess I’ll see after most of the sets are compiled.

A busty WIP edit of Cabal Evangel from Dominaria. The original artist is the very talented Luis Lasahido: https://www.artstation.com/lasahido

When I think “demon worshipping cultists”, I also think “impractical, yet provocative armor to please our demon god”. This one was Inspired by Blood Cultist from Shards of Alara.
