Djinn | Djinn

Looks good. 

A couple of art suggestions if not too late.  Not sure the turban has a finished look, maybe a little more tweaking?  Also, I'd love to hang a Amulet around the Djinn's neck.  Would be a good jump off point for yet another card, DJinn's Amulet.

Just some thoughts.  Neither is necessary.

Or more simply, a ring on his hand if an amulet is too difficult.

I'll see what I can do. Hopefully I'll have time to work on it tonight. Decent sized chunks of free time has been scarce of late, which is why it took so long make.
I do agree on both ideas though, the turban just didn't render as well as I wanted when the cloud texture got applied... I'll try tweaking it and using other textures.
The medalion shouldn't be too hard to do. Just learned a fun technique for making chains that should do nicely.

By the way, did you have anything special in mind for the medallion? E.g. an element's symbol or something? I can try working that in on the rendering so it will tie together nicely.

[jazzfan27]

Nothing too specific.  Maybe an Ankh or one of those self eating snakes or a pyramid with the all seeing eye, ...


Hmmm, you could lift the pyramid right off a dollar.  Would make it easier?

I'll leave it to you.  Have fun with it.

Some great inspiration here

This one appeals to me with the simplicity.

Edit:  Just noticed your suggeston of an element symbol.  That works as well. 

I was thinking about maybe using it to introduce an accessory slot.  Like a shield or weapon, but, a 3rd slot for accessories/jewelry/relics/artifacts/whatever.  In this case an Amulet.  Basically just making it so you can only have one in play at a time for permanents other than shields and weapons.  Could just as easily give it, "Unique:  Only one copy of a Unique item may be in play."  if creating a new slot is too ambitious.

I do have an ankh model ready to go already:

So I can go with that.

I could see about working it onto the face of a disk, and maybe even imprinting the hybrid / mark.

If you can hang that amulet on the Djinn that would be cool.  Looks good as is to me.

Here is a rough render... it didn't quite finish but should be good to check for any modifications that are needed / wanted.


Its funny, but it looks like the smoke effect is poking through the anky a bit... totally unplanned but kinda fun.

As an aside, the Ankh is actually a symbol of life in Egyptian mythology, so it works pretty well here I think.

[jazzfan27]

LOL, you need to shrink that amulet down by half.  He looks like he's filming a rap video.  Also I think too much white on white with the smoke and turban.  Maybe you could color the Turban instead?  Maybe a nice blue?

Or maybe change his skin color (hands and face) from gold to blue?  Right now there is just a lot of gold tones in there, a little punch of color seems called for.

(hope I'm not being annoying)

ROFL... Ya you're right... Just about fell off my chair when I took a second look.

It's MC-D the rapping Djinn!

I'll shrink it down and render again.

Spoiler for Sorry, but I just had to...:

"My name is MC-D and the future's mine to see,
I'm here to keep you all safe, ya betta listen up to me.
'Cuz da flames are on the way, they gonna roast ya down to ash,
but don't worry yourself, i'm here to save your *bleep*
Cuz I'm da Genie of the lamp, I'm the masta of rhyme,
Before the death blow come's I'm gonna send ya back in time."
*POOF*

[jazzfan27]

ROTFLMAO.

I'm tempted to submit it like that with the rap as the flavor text.  At least post it in the humor forum.

[OdinVanguard]

I'll make the serious post art in a bit, but go ahead and post to humor section... or maybe even see if the guild wants to use it as a mascot

I'm gonna add this in a humor spoiler under the card post itself. I can pull it out later if we want.

[jazzfan27]

Posted it in Humor.  Don't know if anyone will get the joke but us, but, I lol'd.
