Angelic Page - Illustrated by Rebecca Guay, who is probably my favorite Magic artist. She hasn’t done any work for M:tG in a few years, which is sad, since her entire catalogue of cards is gorgeous. She was the first, and for years only, Magic artist I knew by name (and judging by Persecute Artist, I’m not alone in that).

This was done for the inaugural Community Alter on Reddit’s r/MtGAltered; the theme of the month was Guay’s work, and there were some stellar submissions.

Angelic Page has been on my backburner since I was halfway done with Riot Devils, and I’m glad to have finally done it. She’s probably the most delicate card I’ve done to date, and there’s a lot of creative structure hidden behind her to make everything stay in place. It’s my thickest shadowboxed card yet, in the neighborhood of about 18 cards deep, which posed some issues (‘echo’ images of her limbs when seen from steep angles), but it looks great IRL, so I’m not gonna worry too much.

I have three cards currently in the works, one of which needs to be done before I move in mid-August, so expect more cards in the coming weeks!
