Description
Chandra, in a rare, quiet moment of not burninating everything in sight.I've always had a soft spot for firehairs. Both visually, and their mythical propensity for passion. I've always figured that the hair that grows inside my brain is red.
For Magic: the Gathering. Art direction by Karin Powell.
Goggles by Retain-a-Retina Eyewear and Internet Filtering.

You have such beautiful pieces of art, I think I'm officially beyond impressed. May I ask how often you practice? And how you send your stuff to the wizards of the coast?

Well, I do this for a living, so I guess I'm practicing for 6 hours a day or so...
Wizards has a drop box for portfolios. I think it's just artdrop@wizards.com, but I don't recall exactly. It's on their website.
Thanks!

Man, I can't stop say that your work is one the best I've seen, the details in this picture are of the finest I've seen, you even draw the freckles in her face.
By the way, I think this is one of the few times I've seen Chandra not ablaze.

Its my favorite planeswalker, with her fire turned of, and wow she looks awesome. Really wish this was used on an actual card of her.
Darn it, cant think of anything else to say other than good job, it looks stunning!

Love the freckles. She's so cute. I wonder if she can extinguish her hair now that it's on manafire.

AMAZING image. She is absolutely my favorite character in MTG (odd since I'm not a red player), and this "moment" is beautiful. Your work is nothing but the best.

So, Chandra Notablaze would have abilities the exact opposite of her Ablaze ones?
Or just no abilities at all, because all of her abilities come from fire?

I must say, seeing Chandra with such a calm demeanor is an enjoyable deviation (no pun intended) from the usual. In this form, the viewer can truly focus on each individual detail of the piece in order to build a more in-depth character. For instance, one can see that her armor is adequately maintained, but the light coating of (what looks like) rust shows that she doesn't care to go to the trouble to polish it. Her facial expression appears contemplative and slightly wry, making one wonder what she is silently musing.
Of course, I could be overthinking things again...
