Sketches for my next portfolio card. I appreciate the Magic art team providing a lot of public examples of their art direction over the years, as that helped me to refine my sketches and pick which one to go with.

The second I saw this artwork, I pounced on @tomkilianart.bsky.social (who must’ve thought I was a crazy person) to find out if the original or prints were available. When they were, I immediately had to have one! It’s now finally framed and on the wall where I can enjoy it. Thanks so much, Tom!
