So I like making these mighty trinkets in this style.

This one is a bit off, seeing as it is not one of the P9, but I had this weird Idea for the image, so I made it.



So someone on reddit raised an interesting point and I feel I'd like to address it.

It took a fair bit of time before I actually shared this piece on Reddit simply due to the fact that it was not a good style of how artifacts are portrayed on cards in general. and then I realized that there's still space for that.

I made the piece to both hold story telling as well as the feature item. Alike to my Lightning greaves before, the images of artifacts is not made to just objectively paint an object and sort of leave the rest to the imagination. From the most simple ideas of where does mana come from or what does it look like, to the more in depth unanswered but hopefully intriguing questions of what are the eyes of the sunken king (the large stone donut in the background) and who is the wielder of the lotus and what is she using with it. (this is almost exactly, though not at all as skillfully done) as to how Jesper Ejsing Approaches the situation in the imagery for goblin charbelcher.



The piece has less focus on the object and more intention of what the object does. In no way am I pretending to do something better than how wizards thinks, but it's more using a subject that I am very passionate about (MTG) and still putting in my own creative voice.
