I recently illustrated these for my friend Jakob's birthday, which was fun. But I have to say, if I had to choose a creature to represent myself, it definitely would be in black and white. But he asked for a card that represented me in his commander deck, soo.

It's the Magic card Bilbo, Birthday Celebrant with custom art. It is named Jakob, Anniversary Emperor, and depicts a bearded man with a sinister and serious expression sitting on an armchair, which is itself placed upon a very big birthday cake. He is wearing a silly birthday hat. The rulestext and card types are written on the cake layers, while the power and toughness are written on gift boxes on the bottom of the cake. Also there's a lot of confetti everywhere.

It's the Magic card Sister Hospitaller with custom art. It is named Gregor, Birthday Clown, and depicts me! I'm wearing a clowns costume with a striped hat and a striped pair of pants. I'm holding a balloon person, but its midsection is way too long. I'm standing under a spotlight with several shadowy figures with sinister glowing eyes surrounding and watching me. The rulestext is placed on the lower end of the card in between two shadowy silhouettes. The flavor text reads, "Look, I made a balloon animal! In the shape of your dead friend."

💀 Ben 💀 Commissions Open! 💀 @bendrawslife.bsky.social · Jul 8

Hey #PortfolioDay!

I'm Ben, an illustrator and character/creature artist. I've done a lot of work in gaming and custom commissions.

I'm currently open for freelance and commission work!

An illustration of mostly a black void, in the void are floating stones, and a white portal encircled by stones. On the portal is a treasure chest shaped mimic and a small black cat.

An illustration of a character with a gold sword is leaping to the left off-screen. A floating orb with an eye has a vortex of blue-green light swirling around the eye. The majority of the scene is taken up by a large two-headed troll that has swung a metal pipe and hit the ground. In the background is a brick wall. The scene is primarily lit with a green glow.

An illustration of Izutsumi from Delicious in Dungeon suspended in air with a brick wall behind her. In front of her are several flying treasure insects. Her mouth is open in a hiss and her eyes glow in the darkness.

Four alien creatures of all different shapes and sizes. They all have large mouths with multiple sets of jaws.

The lower one on the right picture has the highest contrast and is the most readable. However, the words "Glitch in the System" are confusingly placed.
I'd recommend keeping the color scheme, changing the double T's to single letters, and shrinking the subtitle down and putting it in one line.

I dunno, I'm just posting stuff

It's the Magic card Sword of Wealth and Power with custom art. It shows a wooden toy knife amidst lots of trinkets and baubles, including a pink ball, a golden fidget spinner, lots of marbles, stones, and coins.

No offense to all those lovely men who already have that training. It's sociocultural and class issues, not distaste for individuals. There's just certain things white men almost never experience in their daily lives that the rest of us have to endure all the time, and of course it's weaponized

I have never in my life played Roller Coaster Tycoon. So if I tell you that the video's good, you gotta believe me.

YEEEEAAAARRSS ago, I drew these personifications of my favorite decks. That was a time when most people only had 60 cards in their decks. Details in the Alt-texts.

A female angel whose limbs are bandaged. Her forearms, lower legs, upper body, and wings are protected by shiny red armor. She has straight, dark purple hair that is covering her right eye and wears a uuh, pirate hat? I'm not sure. She personified my red-white human deck that damaged you with burn spells.

A green haired human with blue clothing. He's wearing an apron and gloves. In his left hand, he's holding a small crystal, in his right hand, a wrench. In front of him is a patch of dirt out of which a small green plant with two metal bolts is growing. He personified my blue and green mill deck that a lot of plant walls.

An elven woman with dark purple and green clothing and a loki like crown. She seems to be angrily yelling something. Her left hand is raised and is holding a sword that has a blade in a zig-zag form. In her right hand, a smoky spell is charging. She personified my green and black curse deck.

Scale both characters down slightly, put the name and mana cost above them, the type and rules text below Spiderman's legs. That's what I would do. If you'd mirrored them, you could have the two mana pips be droplets coming from Spiderman because of the slap, hehe.
