I’ve spent the last two weeks painting for a commission of the seven wonders of the ancient world on seven iconic lands that are particularly good for Commander.
So, it seems like a good time to take some time to do some altering to a theme close to my heart, Tolkien’s ‘Lord of the Rings’.
I know it’s cliched but I’ve always wanted to do it. The four seasons have been done on many cards before, after all there is four to a playset, so it makes sense.
I like the summer, there are holidays and apparently also my first ever UK nationals to attend.
If there was one card from new Phyrexia which really made a splash for my Captain Sisay deck it was Elesh Norn.
When one finds oneself collecting power nine like I am, it apparently doesn’t take too long before One begins to wonder what to do with it.
Yep, it happens to everyone, it’s happened to me many times before in my artistic career, so waddya know, it’s happened again.
In the last couple of weeks I’ve taken a brief status hiatus and spend some time working on my quest for power!
So before I go any further I should correct a grevious oversight – I promised a picture of me with my new piece of power, and I didn’t stump it up.
I’m painting my way to the power nine. I’m altering cards (many of them) for people, and taking cash or trades for it.
What’s this? No ‘Altering Commander’ column article this week?
One of the things that happened for me across the Easter break was attending the London GP. What a fantastic experience!
Oh yes, and I’ve also had to trade for the contents of the deck to boot!
