Description
This was released a few days ago on the Wizards site. It's one of several concept pieces I did depicting the night sky of Theros, called Nyx. Manipulating cosmos into a legible scene was an interesting challenge

This is a incredible job! Love the way the shapes are the ones who are telling the story, and not real figures

I love the way you've used the stars so evocative.

I'm really not too found of the art of Theros as a whole, as I think that Ancient Greece has seen too much light already to make this an interesting and innovative block.
But this, this is exactly the kind of things I'd expect from magic. Far from the new photorealistic, unimaginative stuff that art department commissions. This takes something beautiful and mysterious as space clouds the way we're presented it and makes something really interesting out of it. Theme related, imaginative, magical, colourful, and cleverly done.
Probably the art I like the most from the whole set cards and promotion.

Really cool! A bit different from your usual work but always nice to see something new!

Took me a while to see the shapes, but now that I do I don't get how I could miss them! ._. Well done with that. Just the right amount of abstract.

Awesome job man!
Looks like this was a hard piece to figure out. But I think you really nailed the color relations, very balanced!
