How to pimp proxy magic cards ?

[monSt4r]

This is kinda a short and understandable question...thing is I have an artist in family that does amazing pictures, and I would like to know if possible how she can picture cards that they look cooler then original, so I don't feel bad with my bad photocopy of moxen...

So, what style of painting stick to cards, how to erase some cards parts so she can paint on it etc.

For example I would like to have Time Walk proxied, how to do it ?


Tnx

You should totally peep the uber proxy thread on Star City's Vintage forums. It's like a million pages long and can answer all of your proxy needs.

You should also have a look at the work of Nerea Iturgaiz and Ron Spencer to have a look at uber pimp art on cards........ you might be able to deduce techniques from it.

The pimp thread on SCG (same sub-forum as the Proxy thread), I believe p. 18 has Nerea's work and 19 has Spencer's work. But Ron Spencer is pretty famous (for a Magic artist) and you can Google his name.

Any style that doesn't include watercolours. Acrylics and obv Oils are fine.

Pure Acetone and cotton wool

I will probably try to do it in 2 weeks minimally, cause I'm still tied up to colledge...she finished academy and had allready 3 solo galleries in the first year she had finished the colledge. So I think if the "project" comes to realization, it would be pretty nice as a substitue to real power...
