I'd have done this for more champions, but I don't know any flower associations for the rest of them.

I apologize for the bad quality of some of the older editions, they're exceptionally rare to be found online.

Prosveta and Narodna knjiga editions are in the same panel as the latter were reprints of those editions, and were the first books of Elric I found at a local library.

I personally think Elric would be better suited to be 11th's companion, but I have such a soft spot for 12th. I just think either Bastable or Corum would be better for 12th. And yes, I absolutely must dress Elric in his first canon appearance when it's about Doctor Who.

Champions in question: Karl Glogauer, Oswald Bastable, Jerry Cornelius, Jherek Carnelian + Oswald and Jherek doodle.

I just love to draw them at the moment. I'll make some proper action/canon relevant art soon, I promise. Haven't done black line-art in a while either.

Other characters: Conan, Jirel

I’ve always loved Elric and the whole tragic, decadent atmosphere surrounding him, so I decided to make a custom proxy inspired by him using Culling the Weak as the base card.

This proxy is not just a tribute but also a personal protest, even if small as it may seem.

I’m from Brazil, and over the years I’ve become increasingly frustrated with the way Wizards of the Coast has treated both consumers and workers, while prices keep becoming more absurd and inaccessible in countries like mine. Between aggressive product saturation, pricing, and the overall direction of the company, I reached a point where I simply stopped wanting to financially support it the same way I used to.

So instead, I started making more and more proxies, not just printing them, but actually designing and building the artwork myself whenever possible.

Weirdly enough, it made me reconnect with the creative side of Magic far more than endlessly buying overpriced products ever did. And not only that but exloring other fantasy artworks such as Frazzeta, Michael Whelan Jean Pierre Targete.

So this is both a tribute to Elric, and a small act of rebellion in true Melnibonéan fashion.

All hail the White Wolf. All hail Arioch. Glory be to Chaos and its champions.

Post inspired by u/EcclesianSteel . Last year I finally finished a project for my partner that was in the making for some time. I gave her Elric-inspired Magic the Gathering Commander deck a complete Elric makeover and made for every single card in the deck an elric proxy/variant, including the lands of course.

It's meant to showcase the great work that is the Moorcock multiverse and especially Elric (Elric is like 90%) and also celebrate all the different styles in which Elric and his world is interpreted in. From the greats like Whelan's pantsless, iconic Elrics and Telo's comic illustrations to smaller artists on social media that show the world in their unique style like Bugbart and Clade Mirya.

Idk how much will be readable when I upload, but at least all cards are readable on the original photos ✌️

I made Elric in Baldurs Gate 3! He’s a Half Wood Elf Rogue!

Since there was some interest about the deck of Elric cards I put together, I give you a few more. Since it's a whole 100 card deck with even some extra cards, I think it's impossible to showcase the entire thing. There are a few already shown cards on the first image, but it felt wrong to exclude them next to their artist's other work.

I kinda like these urban vibes with the champions, so I did one more with Oswald.
