Alternative Card Art (by Zules)

[Zules]

The art style looks familiar for some reason.
I'm not completely giving into the style, but that Octopus got me. (I got confused with the Otyugh,  I thought it was playing a piano - I'm not even going to try to explain).

But if it meant we got upped/unupped variety, I'd be keen. I think thats one of the most rewarding things about upgrading cards - and its just better. The card arts definitely work. Fit with the background, and what I think of the creature.
Good work man!

I did a couple pieces here back in November. Maybe you saw the bunny | war bunny card art (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,15234.0.html)?
And haha, yeah, I think the Otyugh was a failed experiment here.
Thanks

The Arctic Squid could in instant replace the current game art. Your art is awesome.

Wow thank you!  That means a lot.

Can i put art requests for you here? :3

Sure But know that there's a big chance I won't end up doing the request. It all depends on the time I have for art, if I think I can do a good job at your idea or not, and if I have the inspiration for it.

I'm not trying to be snooty/choosey or anything... It's just that card art usually takes me a couple of hours or more to get right, so I have to commit a lot of time and effort in advance if I agree to do something.

Your art looks far cuter than anything in game. For some cards (specifically the Pegasus), this really works but for others (the Otyugh) it simply doesn't.

Yeah, I think I agree with you there XD Thanks.

I wish zanzarino would do more donations for alternate art.

I would definitely give $5 for the Pegasus card.

I would so buy/donate for any new foil cards (I already bought two of the chimeras) :3 I think the rare art concept is so cool

First request then x)
A giant bird (maybe include a reference for size), flying. That's it, i hope you will be inspired

Your art is awesome! That arctic octopus is my favorite because it looks very realistic. The otyugh is cute, but not elements-ish. The bunny art is really cool too.

This is completely off topic, but Jenkar, your avatar changed!!!

I would like it if these so called "foil" cards actually had the MTGO foil effect or something similar. As is they're only alt art, not foil at all.

So as you guys have probably guessed, I'm really more of a cute art type of gal. It's pretty much all I draw. That doesn't always work for Elements, though, so I'm trying to expand my style to fit some of the less cute card concepts.

Here's my try at Werewolf. I'm honestly not sure if it's good or bad anymore (if I try too hard at a piece of art, it's usually hit or miss and I mostly can't tell until the next day when my eyes are fresh.)

Okay! I'll give it some thought

Thank you  I'm glad you liked the arctic octopus and bunny.

I only call them foil cards because that's the term I've seen other people use here. XD
What is the MTGO foil effect like?

Well sorry to say but it's a miss, head is too big and is pulled to center which makes it even bigger. Arm is too short and forearm to long and face lacks wolf expression, but not only to criticize your shadowing is good and if you don't have much experience with fur, it's quite good. And as you say your domain is more cute and lineart.

I think these cards will fit you best
Deja Vu, Hourglass, Fate egg, Chrysaora, Toad Fish, Cockatrice, Horned Frog, Spectres, Phoenix, Schro cat, Gnome Gemfinder, Antlion, Virus, Mummy, voodo doll, Gargoyle (not sure), Damselfly, Fire fly / queen.
And these cards probably worst for you : Dragons, Nymphs, something in armor, something with scales or something flashy

I can understand that, it does seem to be the generally accepted terminology for some reason.
MTGO foil is a different lighting effect on the card (similar to the difference between regular and upgraded cards but less so) and a rainbow diagonal strip that is animated to move across the card occasionally (not visible the rest of the time).

I rather like the werewolf but IMO it didn't have much to compete with so...

I would gladly see the Werewolf art replace the current art.
