Alter 15 - Skithiryx, The Blight Dragon

Always loved me some Blighty. (I hate his other nickname and refuse to use it) The thing I like most about him is that even though he has infect, he can be a wincon by himself. And a really fast clock at that. Also, the art is awesome. He is a Dragon *and* a Skeleton. I'm not sure what that means, but I do know it's awesome. I really like his wings too, all bony and such. Apparently this doesn't stop him from flying however.

Alter 14 - Inkmoth Nexus

Another card that I just really like as a card, which happens to have great artwork, and is playable in many formats. Side story with this one: I finished it a few days ago, but only got around to taking a photo of it yesterday. I set it down on the counter to take the picture, and noticed the side looked weird. I went to pick it up and realized that there was some water on the counter and it had soaked into the card :( (you can see it sorta on the right side) It's drying now, hopefully it will recover to a sleevable state, otherwise I will have to do this one again I think.. bleh.

Alter13 - Green Sun's Zenith

I really like this card in general, and even though the art is kind of weird (what the hell is actually going on here?) it is also awesome. I figure I can sell this one or it can go in an Commander deck or something.

Alter12 - Caged Sun

This one is a step outside of my comfort zone. I redid the whole background and stuff, which I haven't done before this. This isn't the cleanest alter ever, but I found it encouraging and it gave me a bit more confidence to try out more ambitious stuff. I wanted it to look like it was more night time btw, not sure if that cane across.

Alter11 - Spine of Ish Sah

I tried to do an extension on a Spine for my Legacy deck, but failed so I tried another. Much happier with this one. I learned patience with this one. Getting the colors close is really tough sometimes (I need more paint colors to make it easier I think, I am currently using 6 colors total). But if you just keep making small adjustments to your colors it will eventually work. Sometimes it takes 3 different mixes for me to get it close enough, but you just have to keep doing it until it's right. The picture is actually kinda crappy too and it looks better in real life I think.

Alter10 - Gitaxian Probe

I did this one because of 3 reasons. 1. I wanted to practice getting my water/paint ratios good, so the paint can be thin and flat. 2. I really like this card, and the art on it. 3. I wanted to do something simpler after attempting a couple of harder ones.

Mission accomplished.

Alter9 - Phyrexian Metamorph

Another frustrating one. I am not happy with how this came out overall. I didn't really have a plan ahead of time for what I wanted, and my blending skills were put to the test for this one, and they came up a bit short. The card looks fine overall, but I only see the bad parts.. :)
