i have never understood or played magic the gathering, but i have nothing but respect for it after seeing this tittieless snake woman

you could have gone the easy route. you could have given her titties. but you didn’t. cause she’s a reptile. thank you mtg. thank you.

She is feeling FreshandFabulous. 

SHE SURE IS because she is literally finishing up a shed there, look, you can see the last of it clinging to her tail

but she’s already dressed again, after peeling off the skin that would previously have been under that armor

the only logical conclusion here is that she wanted a picture of herself at her SHINIEST and PRETTIEST and hurried to get dressed once enough of her fresh and shiny new skin was uncovered

I bet her bestie took the picture and has been eagerly waiting with the magical fantasy camera for like, hours

“oh my GOD T’sissra your scales are SO VIBRANT this picture is going to be AMAZING”

Extra bonus points because she used that skin as part of her backdrop. Its like a banner behind her head.

‘Out with the old, in with the glam!’

I read “finishing up a shed” and for a few microseconds I was like “sexy AND an accomplished carpenter”

I love every addition to this post. :D especially the last one.

also, for those curious? the art is by James Ryman (you can KIND OF faintly see this printed in the watermark but not everybody has good vision, so it’s worth noting! that link on his name goes to Gatherer’s complete list of cards he’s done illustration for, which is quite a few turns out)

it was for the card “Naga Vitalist”, a card which is from the 2017 set called Amonkhet; she’s a Naga Druid  creature, with an ability that gives you access to extra mana! you can read more about the card, including rulings on the mechanics of it and the legality in various formats of the game, on WotC’s Gatherer database, here:   https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=426878  

and no, for the record, I didn’t know which card it was just off the top of my head - I only play MtG very VERY casually, and then only because the spouse plays avidly (and thus has a gazillion cards I can borrow and knows how to advise on deck construction lol).

but, BUT

I do LOVE this art, it’s fabulous and I don’t CARE that it’s not current for Standard or even that I barely even play I - kinda want it?? just for the art??

so - how to ID it? 

protip: I solved the dilemma in like literally 2 seconds when I “reverse image search”ed it (which you can do on Google with a mere right-click on the image from Chrome to get to the correct menu!) and this immediately provided the “closest match” (in this case the Correct Image!) and the Gatherer link above, because the image of course is on part of the page as well.

if any of you reading this ever need to find the artist behind an image (or in this case, identify a specific piece of media or item) when you only have the image, you can use Google’s Reverse Image Search for that, works quite well! :) 

use this knowledge well, my friends
