Animar, Soul of Elements
Hey everyone! I’m back again showing off my next commission I was asked for. They wanted animar and we decided to go with an Emrakul feel this time around. I had so much fun with this one. I can’t thank them enough for coming to me.
Getting these requests has really helped with being able to actually call these pieces finished. I have 1 more commission in the works and after that I’ll start sharing my own personal art again as the single image posts.
Adeliz, the Cinder Wind
Another commish I’d like to share! People really want the eldrazi stuff it seems…
This was neat for me because it was a commander I would never have done for myself personally. It’s not even for an eldrazi themed commander deck if I understood the request right. Just that they really like the eldrazi lol.
I got more I can show soon too. Plus I’m really trying to finish some of my own stuff. I have a kaladesh Sensei’s Divining top coming up and an azorius consecrated sphinx.
Also I’m super close to having 1000 followers! That means a lot to me. Maybe I’ll do something special like a free alt art for someone.. anywho have a good one!
Vial Smasher the Feirce and Thrasios, Triton Hero
Hey guys, sorry for the long absence. I haven’t gotten around to finishing any personal card arts this year so far.
This was actually a commission. The first one I’ve ever excepted. These two partner commanders where what they used for an eldrazi commander deck and wanted them to fit the eldrazi flavour. I had so much fun with the vial smasher but didn’t feel I got thrasios to the same level, but still enough to call complete
I don’t know if this means I’m going to start opening up to commissions or not.. anyone’s more then welcome to ask. But I have to feel confident enough in task and excited enough in the content in order to feel ok doing such a thing.
Now that we’ve gotten to see some of the new creatures and mechanics for Battle for Zendikar, I have a prediction to make.
I think one of the sets in the block will have a new legendary Ulamog creature that will be colorless (because it will have Devoid) but it will require between 3-5 colors in its casting cost. (Maybe G/R/B)
I’m also guessing it will give a major boost to other colorless creatures on its side.
Thoughts? Plausible at all?
While I’m sure we are going to get a new Ulamog, I don’t think it will have a color identity.
Simply put, all the Devoid cards revealed (all two of them) have been drones, Eldrazi made from Zendikar’s mana. That’s why they cost colored mana, but are themselves colorless. If a non-drone Eldrazi is revealed that has Devoid, sure, but I doubt that Ulamog will cost colored mana.
Those are some really good points, especially about the Drone class. And revelerzeal made a similar statement about Ulamog’s flavor not feeling right with a colored mana cost. (Which I agree with.)
However, to get REALLY baseless and wild with my speculation, I think it could be made to work flavorfully in the second set under the right circumstances. For example, imagine that the first set of the block is focused on taking out Ulamog and his brood, and the climax of that set’s story culminates with “killing” Ulamog.
…only they didn’t. Because killing an Eldrazi’s physical projection doesn’t actually kill the Eldrazi itself, all of Ulamog’s brood melt and combine together (including the new drones) to be reborn as an even bigger and scarier Ulamog. And this one’s mana cost has colors from its drones.
I’m not saying I would WANT that to happen (for Zendikar’s sake.) But you have to admit, I would be flavorful.
