Here is my 5 minute take on the problem :)

Rock'n soul ( and identity ) stealing devil!


That's pretty cool actually- I do like the image. I can't really see the link to Trickster/Thievery though- obviously it's a demonic character but not necessarily/actually a thief
Thanks anyway- if you did it yourself then I'm very impressed
I see it as stealing the little orange-y creature's identity, personally.

Ooh, didn't see it like that. Like a creature within a creature. That's quite cool actually.

Yeah, Krava's artwork is pretty epic- you should check out his thread in this section.

If Krava wants to do the art for this card then I think I may just bow out since he's flat out a better artist than I.

That being said, I did make a new image. I sort of tried to combine my idea, Guolin's, and ricanskillzz96's

Nah, that was just a doodle, im working on fire knight for boredninja...

This last picture is very good i think it captures idea of card, yet it is problematic cause of human figure...

Yeah, I tried to de-humanize the second picture by taking away it's face and the "rogue" outfit, then giving it talons (you know, for peeling off other things faces and carving masks out of them).

Any thoughts on how to further human-be-gone the image?

When I was originally looking for an image for the card (right when I first thought of it) I was thinking of something like this- a guy stealing someone's face, or masks or something like that. That ain't a half bad representation- although is it true that Zanz doesn't like having human/humanoids in the images? I've heard something like that before I think

Ah, this came like 30 seconds before my post lol. You could maybe put another mark *on* the guy as well as having him hold one? Like, symbolising switching the identity he wears. I'm not sure. The base idea is awesome though

Zanz doesn't like humans in the game, but humanoids are allowed (think fallen elf or gnome gemfinder)

*edit*
I tried putting a mask on it in my first pic, and I found it to be problematic since people assumed there was a human face beneath the mask . . .

Rat, you could add weird stuff on the humanoid, like how Fallen Druid is done. Maybe pink skin, funky body parts, etc. Or jet black skin, for that matter - make it look like a Darkness elemental.

yeah, odd color, horns, pointy ears, third eyes.... works for humanoid.

Odd anatomy is more difficult, you should have at least slight idea what are you doing  or it will just look silly :)

Well, I had hoped gray skin and no face was enough . . . I think pink skin would look more human rather than less, but I do kinda like the jet black skin idea . . .

Does this work? (I can add the tendrils back in later if need be)
