I think you should take a Homelands Merchant Scroll and draw an Ancestral Recall/Force of WIll/Mana Drain on the scroll. There isn't enough room on the new art to draw something directly on the scroll, I don't think, maybe you can figure out a way to do it.

If you're looking for ideas a merchant scroll with Force of Will artwork would be hilarious.
It would be funny for 2 seconds. Then I would find it extremely enoying/confusing. I hate alterations that make cards confusing, or in anyway refference other cards that a deck runs, b/c it can be distracting and again... confusing as hell. Kyle L. |

I altered an orb of dreams to look like a trinisphere. I played this card in many tournaments w no problem, but once, even though I clearly stated it was dreamball, opponent thought it was really trisphere, and played accordingly for at least several turns. when the confusion was revealed, I suddenly realized this was not cool. thus even if I were to play dreamball in my sideboard again, I wouldnt use that particular card. in future I will avoid altering cards to look suspiciously like others of the same type, if I intend for them to be played in actual tournament decks. nonetheless I like the idea for merchant scroll and will come up with something in that theme, which is not misleading. |

I wasn't asking for a change in the artwork completely.
The Homelands Merchant Scroll is rolled out and has a space on the scroll maybe large enough to draw a small card or something. I figured since the Ancestral art can be pretty simple, it would be a good idea, or draw a mana drain squid or something.
Ever tried putting a picture of someone on a card? LIke, maybe Mindslaver or something you could draw in their head and shoulders and make it a full card-size art. Or Ichorid/Ashen Ghoul, you could draw someone in place of the art.
I"m really interested in what good alterations could be made to invitational cards. YOu already did a Solemn Simulacrum, so I'm very interested in Bob, Meddling Mage, and Dimir Cutpurse (yeah yeah).

my technique for that situation is to just take a pencil eraser and be careful. Ive gotten really good at knowing just how to rub the card to erase thin areas. serum visions is expendable practice material. taniquetil - is dimir cutpurse an invitational? I have on my long queue of proxies to be done, a dark confidant with the big fat guy erased and Bob haggling with a Bazaar shop owner in Baghdad. basicaly because I love the confidant+bazaar interaction in Dawn of the Dead |

I've got to admit Vroman, that Swords to Plowshares is definitely awesome.
I always enjoy the art that you do where you interpose different Magic Cards onto other ones (Note: Goblin Welder with Uba Mask), this one, etc.
You should do more of them. I also enjoy real-life references, particularly your WWI Tangle Wire, and your Guerrilla Shaman. Excellent work.

Vroman,
How do you do your alterations? I am an artist myself and have huge 6ft Paintings and charcoal drawings in my house. I would like to make some alterations too, but what are you using for a medium on these cards?
I'm guessing you just use a gum eraser on the parts you removed off the card face.

Spellbook makes a pretty damn good Mox Ruby, or if done correctly, a different looking Black Lotus. (the 7th, 8th, and 9th edition ones only.) I want to try making a Sapphire out of the Exodus version, but the framing is so dark you cant erase very much without making it look dumb. i made a few good proxies in like five minutes out of my wide variety of Sharpies. I made a foil Mox Jet from a Mercadian Masque Swamp, a Mox Emerald from a Crown of Convergence, a Mox Ruby from an IA Mountain, a Sapphire from a miscut Beta Island, I am working on a Revised Mox Pearl with colored in borders, and a Time Walk made out of a Vizzerdrix. I am pro at pimping proxies.  EDIT: i just finished an Ancestral out of an Early Frost, an Underground Sea out of a Salt Marsh, and another Ancestral out of an IA Brainstorm for a friend of mine. oh and Froz3nn, you have the worst handwriting i have ever seen in my life. lol |

I like how naturally the Dark Ritual becomes a Jet. Especially the gate behind the guy turning into the Jet, and the archway becoming the jewlery itself. On the other hand, a Rubik's Cube will never have 2 center pieces of the same color. Minor nitpick.
