There Will Always Be Trials And Tribulations, The Storms Of Doubt And Sky's Of Doom. But Weather It Out

More Digital Watercolor testing, use a mixture of painting with it so it's not quite "Pure". Still experimenting with things...

"The amber liquid swirled with a forgotten magic as the dull light danced around the infuser. Even now, the power of the lotuses' remains is self evident."

More "Realistic" paintings for Portfolio, The hands are messed up for a reason other than I'm bat at doing hands. On the battlefield you’ll be lucky if you loose just a finger or get a minor infection.

"You ever just ever stop and take a moment to listen to the wind rushing threw the grass & trees? That melodic whistling sound, sort of weird ain't it?"

More Landscape painting.

"The path ahead isn't always obvious, subtle signs to point you on the right path. And some times it very blanketly is, shining like a star in the sky for all the world to see, Even then, there are those who will spend all there life with there head in the dirt refusing to see."

MTG Ramblings Spellshapers

Expanding on Spellshapers that have effects besides creating a certain spell or create certain token creatures. Such as creating certain Enchantment or Artifact tokens.

Spellshapers, a odd sort of Class type among MTG's creature types, as it implies with both it's name & Mechanics to specialize in changing spells. Mechanically how it works is you pay minimal amount of Mana, or Mana equal to the Original Spell that the card is refencing, Discard a card, and then have an effect of a card that already exists. Such as "Jolrael, Empress of Beasts" referencing & being a slightly better "Natural Affinity". Of course Time Spiral block does what it does & introduced a new cycle that can create Creature tokens that reference creatures that exist, Example being "Sarkspitter" creating "Spark Elemental" tokens.

And again my mind went "This could have gone further", and low and behold I did it again, this time with others, that being enchantments & artifacts. Of course there already exists cards that create Enchantment & Artifact tokens, the Roll Tokens from Eldrin come to mind, and the few that make equipment tokens that exist, or the myriad of 'Create Treasure Token' cards out there. But I want something else, actively referencing older cards other than Modern Horizon Sets, and giving some indication of what it means to be a Spellshaper instead of just another Magically inclined class (Such as Wizard, Druid, Shaman, or etc.)

So some examples:

"Traveler/Venturing Mage" {3} 1/1 Creature -Human Spellshaper (w) - {1},{T},Discard a Card: Create a Artifact token named Traveler's Amulet, it has {1}, Sacrifice Traveler’s Amulet: Search your library for a basic land card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle. (If you want to get rid of the additional cost then maybe have this creature just do the Artifact's effect.)

"Growth Mage" {2}{G} 1/2 Creature - Plant Spellshaper (w) - {G}, {T}, Discard a Card; Create a Aura Enchantment token with Whenever enchanted land is tapped for mana, its controller adds an additional {G}{G} & attach it to target land. (Powerful, Yes, especially when you can do this multiple times, so may need to have two cards discarded.)

"Do not drink deeply, you greed may be greater than most, by the ocean is endless" Wow, 7 pictures in 7 days, And with one being a color swap with additional details would that make it my "Eventful Eight" ?

Two pieces of fan-art:

1st - JayLee2014 (On DevantArt), I don't know what came over me but seeing one of pics got me to draft and finish sketching this Anthro version of there character in less than 2 hours. Something about it was just appealing character design, and I can't imagine what his workload is to get so many artworks out regularly. (He says hes unemployed and has a lot of free time)

2nt -  @grimmtheautisticcryptid here on Tumblr/ AutisticWerewolf on DevantArt. One of her characters, King Phobais. She has a interesting RWBY AU (The gist of it is that there is a 5th kingdom of Mythical beings hidden away from the world, the king sends his children to Beacon after a incident in hopes they can heal) I was able to get this from sketch to Ink/Color/Shaded in about 3 house last night.

A Ink sketchs I did years ago when I was experimenting using the Brush pen. I always wondered the in story Origin for some of the bosses, was spider queen one of Orochi's previous sacrifices from Kamiki Village? or was she always in this form, or I know its technically Gold-Fang who is the real demon but i can't help but Blight's armor is another demon, maybe the armor of the original wielder?
