Description Katanas, kimonos, and a tattooed and evil beauty. These are a few of my favorite things.

I can't really comment on who this character is, so until further notice: She's exactly who you want her to be. That's right. Close your eyes and go there.

hmm...hot asian chick. malicious looking tattoos. possible cursed ebony blade of sorrow, evil dark spectral vapors flowing around her, ominously unnatural green eyes shining with fell power.....I wonder if I can ask her out? does she like manga?

I would. You've got nothing to lose. Maybe your immortal soul. But really, who uses those things nowadays?

we're going with "run bitch run shes got a sword." this my all time favorite emotionicon because it is amazingly funny and it is listed under daily needs.

The first thing that comes to mind is: "Liliana Vess: Japanese Edition."

Maybe that's because I'm not familiar with Legend of the Five Rings. Oh well, it's still a wonderful piece. Your attention to detail is amazing, as always.

Nicely done.

Glad this for L5R - I briefly wondered if MTG was going back to Kamigawa real soon or something!

Amazing job. Love it.

Wow, so amazing. Colours are really beautiful.

But her tattoo make me think about a spider.

SteveArgyle In reply to l3erceuse [2010-05-18 04:42:22 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! The spider feel is intentional. She's a Spider Clan samurai, for the game Legend of the Five Rings.

I get my fair share of MtG cards too. I think the art director pays attention to the fans/forums, but I'm not so sure he wanders around my gallery. Maybe I should send this along, with a "Hey! Gimme more cards!"

MagiQKilleR In reply to SteveArgyle [2010-05-18 11:48:57 +0000 UTC]

got a friend who's intrested in doing cards.. how does one get in touch with the art director??? ^^

SteveArgyle In reply to MagiQKilleR [2010-05-24 16:14:44 +0000 UTC]

Email probably works, though I imagine not super well. You have to figure he gets tons of inquiring artist emails every day.

The best way would be to go to a convention, or some other place where you can talk in person. Wizards of the Coast usually has portfolio reviews going all day at conventions, at fifteen minute intervals. So it's not actually that hard to get dedicated time with the art director.
