Description Damia, Sage of Stone, and Hoarder Supreme.

It has been suggested that sexy, strong, potentially dangerous women with insane hair are what I'm becoming known for. So I decided to do this as a wild departure from that, to show my vast versatility and inventiveness.

Oh wait… Damn it.
...
Failure of breaking character aside, this was a really fun piece to work on. I know this will sound silly, what with a gorgon vixen in a plunging dress right there, front and center: but I really got into painting those bottles and jars. I even did research, and learned how to tell when and where old bottles were made. Yes, I've become that boring.

For the astute, or those with ridiculously excessive free-time/boredom: Easter-eggs abound in this piece. Not just from Magic, but also Dungeons and Dragons, Legend of the Five Rings, and Star Wars.

Wow, this is amazing, and yes, the bottles are actually my favourite bit, they look so inviting, I just want to drink them ALL!!
Probably end up with a nasty mixed up, magical disease though!

An incredibly beautiful piece. A stunning character, and also a ridiculous amount of objects and items scattered about her lair.

Absolutely breathtaking! I have never seen mtg art so rich in detail and with so much emotion flooding out of it, its simple a masterpiece and I'm sad to see it on such a small scale card. Congratulations on a magnificent rendition on a character and beautiful addition to the highest artistic ranks. simply beautiful work.

Character-breaking or no, this is gorgeous. I love the drama of the lighting on her, and the detail of all the items around her.
