Description
Liliana Vess. Gorgeous supreme sorceress of the black arts.Concubine of death and weaver of destruction, here we see just how easy it is for her to snuff out a life with her dark craft.
And yet, how many among us would kick her out of bed for eating crackers? Show of hands? Now, how many of us would still lay there smiling, although maybe a few scoots further away, if she were eating kittens in bed? Hands?
Indeed, Liliana's genius was revealed when first she asked the devils for eternal beauty. How powerful an attribute to lure prey, and soften one's enemies...
For Magic the Gathering. Art directed by Jeremy Jarvis.
Special thanks to Cheyenne, who spontaneously modeled for Liliana while taking a break from restoring a 1984 Goldwing.

*snort* eating kittens! LOL! I can actually picture that! AHAHAHA!!! I can see it all now, Jace perusing over a spiffy scroll and then slides ever so slowly to the edge of the bed as Lilliana is going NOM-NOM-NOM on a bowl full of kittens! AHAHA!!! Awesome art by the way, I have this card.

This one has a lighter background due to Liliana not gleaming with dark magic... This one is too... AWESOME.

Wow! Liliana's eyes are really pretty here, and her nails look really good as she's snuffing out the candle. She looks fantastic here!

I like the body markings of the other version, but the eyes of this version. Also I love the picture, that skull in the smoke is brilliant

I've gotta say Mr. Argyle, she does look a lot more attractive without the ritualistically scarred skin and the unnaturally glowing eyes 
Both versions are, however, beautiful.

Gorgeous Job on her, the atmosphere around her seems charged and ready to be deadly. Beautiful from every angle, the image is simply captivating.

I prefer this version to the glowing eyes version. More subtle and far more emotive. Saw this on the front page and was struck by the detail and how realistic her face was!
As lovely as she is I would be dropkicking her if she's eating kittens. That's how it is.
Babies?
...Oh okay then.

Personally I like this one better than the one with the tattoos and glowing eyes. It leaves a little for the imagination! GREAT WORK!!!

As i said earlier when the card got leaked... This picture looks absolutely amazing. And to see it now in good quality!
Both Versions are great, she looks really beautiful (Why isn't there a planeswalker card of her with an artwork from you, that would be sweet

As others have said, I actually prefer this version to the one with all the glowing tattoos.
Makes her less creepy, but I suppose that's the whole point of the tattoos...

Liliana is wonderful, when I first saw this card spoiled I knew I'd be getting a whole set of nine

Look this is great. I only suggest you maker her face more darker and sinister. Only a crit but overall fantastic!!!!!!

Like this one better. The other one's too....Inhuman? Yeah... That's the word. She doesn't look human in the other one. Nixes some of the allure.

Steve... this is too good to be real. You are without doubt one of the greatest contributors within fantasy illustration nowadays. And even though I know what to expect from your art, you never cease to surpise me with your talent. Keep it rocking!

This version is awesome. I prefer the purple smoke on the card version, but the character is so great on this one. The skin of a temptress, beautiful eyes and a subtile galre of darkness.

Less witch-like, certainly, but much more beautiful than the other version.

So if I were to be an utterly massive dork; her eyes are grey?
