Description
To me, magic is the fantasy fiction equivalent of science. I'm not sure I can state this more fervently. I love science. I love technology. I love ingenuity and engineering. I would love it physically if it were possible, and I have faith that once again, science herself will deliver that miracle.Feel free to picture me in a cheerleader outfit with the pi symbol across my overstuffed chest.
"Trinketeering for a better future!"
However, Nevinyrral's Disk has shown me that perhaps there is a call for moderation in even the awesomest things. The Disk is essentially a conveniently sized universe eraser button cleverly formulated to expunge all of God's unfair oversights. As a proud member of those oversights, I feel Nevy's Disk may have crossed the line of propriety in advancing arcane knowledge.
For Magic: the Gathering. Copyright Wizards of the Coast. Art directed by Jeremy Jarvis.
Apologies to the universe that was imploded to get reference photos.
(Check out the first sketch I sent into Wizards for Nevy's Disk. While it conveyed the purpose and power of the Disk, it seems it was slightly off in terms of flavor...) [link]

When you have this as a card, you can't see just how intricate the artwork is, now that I can see this up close, I am amazed by the love you put into creating this. I think the next time I combo this beauty with Darksteel forge, I'll remember the time and effort you put into making this little wheel of human suffering possible!

I like the older pic in the sense that it provides a great opportunity for the saying "a black hole is where God divided by zero."

I've long thought that this card could use new a new picture, and I'm glad you were the one to do it! This is pretty frigging cool.

Ha ha. I know the card with that image. Do you get any free MtG Cards with your work on it?
Looks epic. Universe will forgive you.

Yep. I either get the 50 proofs, (which are the cards with no backs,) or they give me 10-25 if it's a special edition or whatnot. Is nice.

He he. Must be great to see his own work on trading cards. XD

It conveys the purpose of the card way better than the original artwork. So damn awesome that words can't entirely describe it.

i just love this picture, there is so much detail in it that the foil card kinda looses because of the foil process. i also have to admit its one of my fav cards. such stunning work on the disc it's self! i do hope you post more of our MTG work.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They should start using that foil for pots and pans or something. Nothing sticks to it. I've signed a bunch, just to have the sharpie ink bead up and fall off. I've coated one with primer to do an alteration, and even primer just popped off. It's like a cursed coating...

Time isn't far when faith and logic will inevitably converge. In the meantime, this kicks major detail ass.

Thank goodness, too. I'd be sad if Chandra, Liliana, and the other lovely planeswalking vixens suddenly disappeared.

lol I love popping the disk with Liliana on the field.

wow, Nevinyrral's disk is one of my fav cards!
Definitely a fav since your version of it is just EPIC!
as for the magic thing, i agree with you is like what science would be in a fantasy world... anyways to picture you in a cheerleader outfit, lol, well I'll leave that for other viewers...
Great work, as usual, congrats!

Oh, how I love Nevinyrral's Disk. It truly is one of those special cards that makes your opponents go "oh fffff-"... and your allies too, for that matter!
Gotta say that this new version looks particularly snazzy
I like the fact it looks like you could almost play frisbee with it... albeit a particularly painful game of frisbee, and probably one with a really unhappy ending.

Aw dude. That would be the coolest art for a reprint of that card. Is it really going to be used?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Already is. It's out in the "From the Vault: Relics" special set. Came out a couple of months ago. And they're SUPER shiny.

Very cool man. Reminds me of something that's about to end the world.
Just curious, how did you get into the business of making card art?
