Shelties are cute; though wish the card had a corgi on it; I would want 20 of the card xP
Didn't you know? Magic the gathering is banning "racist" cards form decks. Like ones saying "destroy all black creatures on the board" xD
They did and I fully support their decision. The cards they chose to remove had either blatantly racist implications, or subtle ones, or could be misconstrued as such, and all of those are valid reasons for removal. If anything it was disappointing that it took a massive global movement for them to take a stand on the matter.
You are free to disagree, and you would be wrong, but that's your prerogative. I'm not going to discuss the issue further.

Would I though, cause "destroy all white creatures" is still all up and good. Perfectly acceptable isn't it?
i think you're either missing or ignoring the part where the card that destroyed all black creatures was called "Cleanse"
id ignore the dude, considering he brought it up on an art piece depicting a dog in armor.
I also support the ban and I've been playing the game since it came out. Banning these cards means we can ban players who'd build "LOL racism" decks. We don't need toxic jerks chasing off actually fun players.
They're more for the context of the cards, not the ability, my dude. Considering "Invoke Prejudice" is pretty self explanatory on title alone, it depicts KKK looking hooded figures and affects cards of a specific color. "Imprison" being a card of a dark skinned person with a black face being detained. I don't know how this isn't obvious to you.
There's more to "Invoke Prejudice" than simply... look, that card has so much so wrong it's a surprise that didn't get something sooner. I'd say it was a surprise it got made but... before MTG hit it off and proved to be sticking around, it was kinda "almost anything goes".
There was an actual card called "Torture" for instance. (Stuck in a set nobody wants to really acknowledge for anything but a single blue card, but it was there.) An entire set had a subplot running through the cards about a rogue army general pillaging and burning towards genocide.
We're not even going into the lovely original "Unholy Strength" artwork. Which I still like, but ... damn.

just how are they going to ban me play that card my game my rules if the looney left is ever stupid enough to ever try to take away my cards lol there In for a nasty surprise with me
saw some spoilers recently but didn't know you were contributing to some of the art, awesome
Oh, bundle version! I’ll happily get a bundle for a version of this with my favorite dog breed!
These textures rule. As does Cynthia. I hope I get to work with her one day!
Thanks Jon! And yeah, she's fantastic :). Super lovely to work with.
Dawww this is gorgeous, all the texture and lighting. Not to mention Such Good Doggos. Thank you for sharing!
Oooh I LOVED this card art when I saw it revealed! It's super neat seeing your art pop up on more cards! It's not often I get into a card game and then artists I recognize start getting their art in sets. It's super neat
Thank you so much! And there are a lot more cards coming for now thankfully! ^^
I spotted this earlier on Twitter and it made me so happy. Truly the goodest boy of all time. Your fun rendering is amazing!
Wow, the amount of detail here is incredible. I like how you've got the clouds and light surrounding the lead dog's head. The eye-catcher for me is the armour. This is the first time I've seen a drawing like this, it so unique. They all look so heroic. There is a rich vibrance of colour and variety of dogs. These guys look like they would give their all to protect those they love. I've seen that so much in real life. This drawing does them justice and is AMAZING⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
OMG! This is one of the best pieces I've seen in a while! This picture needs to be framed and hung on the wall.
Seriously though. Frame. This. Picture.
And yes, like Thelight777 said, I can totally see a welsh corgi as the king!

Holy shit how did I not realize that fluffy boofer was your art.
This is a beautiful piece worthy of the best of TCGs, I'm so grateful for you getting to share this with us. You continue to be an inspiration as an artist and a member of this community! Please keep it up!
I bought some MTG cards the other day, from the current set out, cause I was like, "Man they got some good art on this set." Then I go on FA today....and find most of a favorites posted here. That was a surprise. Seems they did right getting you involved. Made them some sales.
Looks like something out of the Narnia Chronicles or the Golden Compass saga...
Awesome! Guess you've been promoted from cat specialist to cat-and-canine specialist? :P
I showed this to a friend of mine. His reply:
"There will be a day when Timmy falls down a well and no one is there to get help. But it will not be this day."

The Noble Dog Pose! Fabulous work, here; got to fave it.
I just wonder who made their armor or helped them into it...

I don't even play MTG and I'm gonna need all the cards from this set. haha.
It looks like a 300 version, with this soundtrack it looks much better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQ_g3iXs0KA
I love it! SO pretty. I am really excited too, my friend got that card for me with this art on it, as well as a play mat. <3
Oh wow! I think you did really great with this artwork, pretty neat to see a mtg artwork posted here on FA, and a little fun on top of it that I started playing the game roughly 2 months ago so c:
I don't plat Magic, but this art is phenomenal.
The lead doggo reminds me of Caesar from the game Wargroove.

The other version has the Manly Dogstache but it can't beat this cape!
