Some Universes Within (ish) cards I've been working on
I've been slowly working my way through various sets as far back as 40K/WHO and making UW-enough versions of cards in which I'd otherwise be interested. Since I'm making decent headway now, I figured I'd share a batch of them, particularly a chunk of them which I have more or less tried to relate together. As several of these will show, I'm also not above tweaking the type line.
Where I get the art:
- Little used card types (conspiracies, "draft matters" cards, archenemy, planes, etc)
- Unset art, especially Unstable, was a godsend for this particular batch given all the robots and artifact creatures
- Art from little-used cards
- Art from artists who've otherwise made magic cards but which isn't on a magic card
- Stuff I scrounged from artstation
To be honest, dealing with the art is exhausting, and I'm glad to be reasonably confidant I'm nearly done with most of the ~150 cards I've earmarked for the UW treatment. The art is most of the reason I futz around with the typeline (or the tokens) because I truly just cannot be bothered to find the perfect art for a proxy when "good enough" is already at hand.
Cards are all made in MSE. Doubtful that they're suitable for getting printed but I'm going to give it a shot anyway once I'm done, though I suspect there'll be a few upcoming artifact creatures of interest.
As far as the rest of the cards in the UB sets, I'm certainly not tackling all of them. Still gotta work on all the food cards from the last year or so, as well as all the mutagen cards.
