Walking Wake Gijinka, Design Belongs To @Lady_Nanaki (I Really Need To Work On Facial Expressions)

"Shure, ya can still find green out there, in the cracks & ridges between the mountains. Enjoy it while you can , it will be the last thing you see before the Long Ears turn you into a pincushion."

More Watercolor/Painted TTRPG Items, this time a Djinn’s Lamp...

"Despite what many would think, a Djinn's home is a sacred thing. The Rings of a Ruler, the Swords of the Generals, and yes even the Oil Lamps of the common. But be wared that some are better left not being let out, for the Ifrit only seeks revenge."

MTG Ramblings: Lands & Assumptions

I believe that both we the audience & the in universe Planeswalkers don't really know the true existent of magic or the lay lines that run through every Plane, so every Planeswalker will have there own theory's & names for mana, and where it comes from, its just that we were introduced through Alpha so we stick to what we know.

Personally I see it as all the potential energy of a location that could be collected/used in one amount of time/turn, Planes have the light & warmth of the sun and the growth fields of grains, grasses or other such that don't fall into Green's domain.

Islands have the flow of the water the pulling of the current from the moon & the creatures that swim within it.

Swamps have the decay fueling the growth of other plants or whatever dwells there.

Red... Yes the volcanos speak for themselves but also landslides & the movement of tectonic plates,

And Green's forests and the color's ability to grow out of control with the highest ramp of the colors should speak it for itself. (As well as Green's ability to produce mana of other colors)

It's the non-colored that are more interesting, they are cities, ruins or lands where not even the dead dwell (Bazaar of Baghdad, Scorched Ruins & Field of the Dead)... Or places so obscure that not even the colors have defined those places (Sheltered Valley, Winding Canyons & Rath's Edge) can produce mana that is ether so mixed together that cannot be separated into it's individual colors, or create a new type of mana.

With the Izzet mapping the multiverse threw the Omenpaths, I would like a character interviewing others plane by plane, each native explaining how they see each of the basic lands & what makes them so.

Is the land itself necessary, or just the Idea of the land? We have scene great & terrible things along our journey through the Blind Enteritis, so is there a land of pure blue mana? Mabey, but it would be so perfect that it would destroy us if we ever try and tap into it.. But Tolarian Academy is dame close, no wonder it keeps getting attacked.

Some fanart of TheLoadingCrew's character "Kabby/Kabriela"'s True Form from there "Pathfinder: Rise of the Runelords" campaign.

Spicy fanart for @AxtionBastrd42's character "Ranrua from TheLoadingCrew's "Pathfinder: Rise of the Runelords" campaign.

A bunch of non-series specific pics because I realized that I need more practice drawing than just people.

Mtg Dreamcast Cards Ramble

As a follow up to my last ramblings, why don't we have the rest of the Magic: the Gathering Dreamcast Game's Cards? We probably will with Velukan Dragon's printing in Mystery Booster 2, and Arden Angel in a Secret Lair Drop they will probably be chase cards in seclusive and elusive ways, only time will tell. They were turned into using D6's instead of D4's, but still.

I don't know how the Random Basic land selection of Camato Scout and Lydari Druid would work, may have to make them Acorn/Silver Boarder in a similar vain to Erza's Head, but the rest?

Tornellan Protector would need to be bumped up to a D4, even then it's underpowered?

Saji's Torrent needs to be bumped down to a D4, Imagen tapping at Instant speed up to 6 creatures for two mana.

Hapato's Might need to be a D6, No one would play a card where you pay 3 mana for a chance at getting +4/+0

Murgish Cemetery is already over costed, so D6 +1 to get it descent.

Ashuza's Breath should be a coin flip in order to do at least 1 damage to every creature, including your own.

I don't know how you would even do Lydari Elephant with it's choose effect, 2D6 +1 where the roll cannot be under 3?

MTG Ramblings Snow Mana & Hybrid Costs

Snow Permanents, first introduced in Ice age with Snow Lands but Snow Creatures & Enchantments in Cold Snap, are a unusual type of super type. Snow Permanents care about there own special type of mana, usually designated with the {S}, it is not a mana type on its own but can only be generated by Snow Lands. For most of its life it has been only used for activation of abilities, as having cards that required Snow Mana as a casting cost and not having any in a draft would suck, but as per usual in Modern Horizens they experimented having two cards that have Snow Mana as there costs, those being Arcum's Astrolabe & Icehide Golem.

This is interesting due to it implying that it is a mana type on its own that requires very specific circumstances to use in creation/summoning of artifacts. The two other 2/2 Artifact Creatures that require 1 Mana are "Reinforced Ronin" while having hast must go back to the hand at the end of your turn, and "Thraben Gargoyle" has Defender that has a high transform cost.

I wonder if that Snow Mana is so obscure among the Plains & so hard to work with that unless you are a true expert that its nearly impossible to work with. That the Mana it's self is so slow & ridged that most magic users carve away the 'Snow' aspect of it to get to the mana they are use to working with underneath, but that if you have the patience that you can create something form the 'Other'. The Existence of the variety of Snow Permanents implies by its timeline that anything can become/be shaped into a Snow card, with Lands being the first to change as they do with the seasons, then the Creatures & the Enchantments they use follow as they adapt to the new environment, then after a time people adapt so now Instant & Sorceries are also now snow as they cold is something to be wielded, and finally Artifacts as one truly understands how Snow Mana works.

But I have to wonder if there is a way to cheat the system, that a thought came to me when panning threw my collection, could snow have hybrid mana? What brought this on was Shadowmore's "Advice from the Fae" & the rest of the Monocolor hybrid cycle, That if you don't have the right colors of mana that you can pump in more mana to make up for that. That forcing a Snow Perinates to be created but causing it to become excused/come out wrong, such as a Artifact that enters the Battlefield tapped unless you payed snow mana to cast it, or Instants that cannot be cast at instant speed or are less powerful unless you pay snow mana for them.

Still missing Snow Enchantment creatures WOTC….

Some Pokemon sketches, First is just a idea that for a Crustle acting as a home for there Dwebble and other small Pokemon. Second is ,A while ago I did a ask of @lyinginbedmon‘s Poke!Lying about is it ok to putt grass type Pokemon in pots, and I drew this as a reference.

Mega Man Mermaid May (Man that's a Mouth full) , Fairy Leviathan's' Boss form isn't very mermaid like so I fused elements of Splashwoman's design to get this hybrid. #megamanzero #mermay2022
