I made some Gravity card art. Please have a look!

[Cryotube]

I'm new to this forum, having played the game but never discussing it.

Being a high school student, it's my final semester before graduating to university - I'm scrambling to build a portfolio that would land me into a good program after my interviews. I just happened to create a Gravity-themed card on a whim, thinking about how the Gravity deck didn't have any cards that were particularly 'heavy' other than Armagio.

 Behemoth Turtle        (name subject to change)



Painting process for those who are interested:

Edit: now with annotations
The turtle's crest powers its near impenetrable armor, but makes its shell extremely heavy. The turtle crawls over land, crushing and deforming everything in its wake.

Making the art, I didn't really think about what the card's abilities would be at all - I just thought it would look cool with a Gravity crest and Armagio-style armor.
Not sure if this was the appropriate place to post this, but any advice would be appreciated!

Simply amazing, man. This would be perfect in Gravity's mechanical-based arsenal of Sapphire Chargers and Armagios.

5 stars, and welcome to the forum!
EDIT : If possible, can I use this art for a card idea I have?

Very impressive. +karma

But that style.. it's so familiar... amazing.

It's like that turtle in Discworld (I forget its name) :p  I definitely like the artwork; I'm not sure how you could work it into a card concept off the top of my head (maybe gravity with water ability, since turtles are aquatic) but that's pretty good art.

^That would be Great A'Tuin

On topic: The Art looks great. I don't really have any crazily original ideas for the card mechanics, though. Only things I could think of from the top of my head would be some sort of CC-resistance (as in passive: Any damage done to this card is reduced by 2. Potentially fun with rage potions) or perhaps some form of shield ability (as in: Shields a creature. Any card which would target that creature targets the Behemoth turtle instead.)

OMG!!! 
This is beautiful!
I love the style, that is mechanical while not ruining the fantasy part, and i like the palette too!

We need to find a beautiful mechanic for a new creature just to use this art!
Congratulations again!

Oh... welcome to the forum!

Really impressive.

Please, keep dreaming about Elements.

[jacker]

Really beautiful Congrats!

[furballdn]

Holy-....That is some great art. Looks really amazing.

[agentflare]

really really awesome. Keep building that portfolio. With a bit more time, I could see that be really close to professional.

[Naesala]

This is great, I love it! It fits in perfectly with the games style yet is it's own. Really like it.

Absolutely fantastic.

The only minor thing in terms of criticism is that the white birds are a slight distraction to the picture (yes, I know they're used for 'perspective' of how big this thing is, but I believe that we don't always need little critters or birds to show how big the monster is [many Gravity creatures excluding Chimera represent their 'size' with health]). That being said, I love the fact that you did a video on this, although I wonder if you'd be willing to provide additional commentary on your thoughts while drawing the creature and whatnot.

Great work, and if anything, you remind me of a formerly-active veteran artist that drew card art for the game...
