The Wanderer (commission)

#xochiart #art
Digital illustration of The Wanderer from Magic: the Gathering. A woman with white shoulder-length hair and a white kimono sits on a bench. She holds a cup in her hands, with stylized steam coming out of it. Her eyes are closed and her expression is relaxed. A shiba inu's head rests on her lap, the rest of its body covered by her crossed legs. The background is a stylized landscape with a setting sun in the horizon. Sakura trees in the mid and foreground are losing their pedals.

Absolute favorite card in my Narset deck. Especially when I cast it normally and then recast it with her trigger
