Various Tokens! The Bug, the Bird and the Obscene

 Spawn Token

 Bird Token

Armada Wurm Token

Yet another token dump. I have been sitting on these guys for a bit now and finally finished them up. The spawn token is for Spawning Pits, which is a odd pick for my Garza Zol EDH deck, and since tokens aren't common for them, one needed to be made. The bird was just a leftover doodle for Ravnica tokens, mainly Seller of Songbirds. It is a Titmouse, which was chosen at random not because I'm an immature idiot......And lastly, because I am an immature idiot, the highly suggestive Armada Wurm companion token. So, I got the creepy, the cute and the tactless selection this time. God only knows what I'll make next......

Idols of Ill Fortune! Ravnican Rare Tokens!

A month or so later, I return! I've been a bit sluggish to get my update posted, but finally finished a few pieces. First, I just completed the logo I had been designing for local podcast host and judge, Dr Jeebus. The podcast Jinxed Idols is a live call in show featuring an infamous crew from around the Magic community. Primo stuff! After realizing they did not have a logo and the site that host them, MtGCast needed an image for all their programs, I volunteered my services. The statue is of the golden god of neckbeards, Durdleyotl, the essence of all negative stereotypes Magic players are known for. Aside from making up a false idol, the rest of the design is simple. He's a gross looking guy standing in front of a slab resembling the back of a card.
Second, it wouldn't be a post without a random token insert. I had fun with the last batch I made for the prerelease and decided to make some of the rarer ones. Pack Rat seemed like a card that would need multiple tokens since they can get out of hand quickly. Then, I decided Worldspine Wurm needed tokens since the official ones don't represent the creature correctly. I mainly enjoy drawing wurms (coming soon; awful Armada Wurm)....To each their own.

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!

 Wurm Token

 

 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.
