A few people found it. The face is carved into a rocky outcropping at one of the entrances to the town. The idea came as a way to incorporate the concept seen in Graven Cairns.

This is the white-red component of the five enemy verge lands. I’ll be curious to see how these new lands fare across the myriad formats.

The auction for this piece is happening right now and can be found here -

After confirming environmental elements could pass through the gate, I added the sandstorm billowing out. The Amonkhet cat was included to seal the deal on where the portal led, and compositionally balance Loot who’s on the left, busy chuckling at the crazy storm he just got a face-full of.

This shows a portal from the Muraganda plains to the pyramids of Amonkhet. Sunset in Amonkhet was vital to really amp up the red facet, but balancing that fierce red with the glowing greens and muted blue tones of the plains was the single hardest problem to overcome in the whole painting.

It's time to show off some Aetherdrift art.

Sunbillow Verge marks an important milestone in my 31 years of painting Magic cards: Finally, I’ve painted a red mana producing land for my horde of goblin cards! Goblin players rejoice!

Hey, I hadn't seen this show up anywhere, but my Treasure Nabber from Commander Masters 2023 is also available as an art card. Apparently we don't get APs of these which is a shame, but oh well.

I'm told the yellow signature is a gold stamp on the real card.

Hey, time to let you know I'll be at The Summit. It's going to be a busy show, with 20+ Magic artists in attendance!
The show's organizers have a Twitch AMA today at 9pm EST / 6pm PST. They'll be giving away a Mox Main Event ticket, answer questions, and more.
