Ready to Return to Ravnica! Prerelease Accessories!

Meatpie Token
Lil Meatpie
Ooze Token
 


 Filibuster Counters

With the prerelease happening in about 24 hours, I wanted to have some tokens and counters ready to use with the new cards coming out. I already had a saproling mascot, Shortstack, which is Selesnya style, so I decided to make a Golgari type. My newest design, Meatpie is essentially made from plants and leftover corpses. Quite adorable, I know. I made a token version and a mascot version because I liked him so much. Aside from odd little plants, I also did a quick ooze token. Very simple but I enjoy how his colors came out. Lastly, with the announcement of Filibuster counters, I was requested to have these ready for the weekend. Considering filibusters tend to ramble on and on, I figured a lengthy scroll would work nicely. I have a shorter one to fit on the card and a longer version to take up space and drag things out. Hopefully, I can finished another token or two before the events, such as wurms, assassins and/or knights. But for now, something is better than nothing.

Token Commission! Hellions!


 Hellion Art and Token



Azorius Detainment Marker

Finally tricked someone at my local game store to request my talents. Everyone's favorite dentist needed some hellions for his Hellion Crucible and  I answered the call. Went with the old style for these creatures, gummy maws and barbed tendrils instead of insect-like limbs. Overall, a fun design to work on. Aside from this piece, I worked on some amusing things for the Return to Ravnica prerelease. The Azorius Guild has a mechanic that locks down permanents, so I figured a marker for it be helpful. I plan on abusing these things that weekend.

Third Post! Star Wars Request!




These were a request by podcasting personality Jay Boosh. He asked to have Star Wars characters as common creature tokens, such as a jawa for a goblin. It was fun to work on these and I'm interested in doing more custom pieces.

Second Post! Token Swarm!

 Assembly-Worker Token

 Germ Token

 Pest Token


 Continued from the last post, here's a pile of tokens. These are mainly from my decks for EDH and standard. I've designed two different style of tokens; one being a traditional card with stats that resemble regular token cards, while the other is designed to be standing cut-outs. Sort of a pop-up token which adds a bit of dimension to this 2D game. I've used them for casual and FNM games and many people seem to like them.  Regardless, they amuse me so I'll continue pumping them out.

Shortstack the Saproling 

'ey there one and all, I'm Steve and this is my art blog. I tend to sketch an odd variety of things, but I've been on a token theme as of late. As a Magic player, I have decks that make tokens, some of which I do not own official token cards of. So, I decided to create some for my decks and what's popular right now. This first batch is of activation markers for certain cards and a Saproling by the name of Shortstack.
