I started using a pane of framing glass instead after Lars suggested it, just so my paranoid brain can rest haha.

Beyond the Quiet - watercolour and acryla gouache on Arches 300lb rough paper
Painted for Magic: The Gathering's "Edge of Eternities"

In a cosmic void, a woman lies holding a dark orb. The orb is heavy, its gravity drawing all of the light and heat from the universe around her. Stars, drained of their energy, stain the greying canvas of space.

Thank you, that means a lot that you liked it that much! :)

Chorale of the Void, for MTG Edge of Eternities. When I saw the Monoists in the style guide I was hoping to get an assignment that tackled that faction, so I was stoked to get to do this one.

Teval's Judgment, my one piece in Tarkir. This one was a fun challenge to get across the more abstract concept of preparing to be judged to receive either pain or a benefit.

Just got back from a very fun MagicCon Chicago where it was great to see everyone, chat with con goers, and sign cards all weekend. While I was away, @amico.bsky.social shared his fantastic article with the Waterhouse master study I made for him on an artist proof, I'm happy to finally show it off!

Also coming along to MagicCon this year, my newly designed leather dice bags that come with a handy life counter pocket and include a life counter. They have a walnut or padauk accent on the front with a brass inlay, and come in a variety of hand stitched leathers.

Thankfully they didn't have shark breasts in mind, there were none in the style guide we worked from. ;) It was really just about body shapes and the ratios of shoulder/waist/hip or how lithe or stocky forms were.

Alix Branwyn @alixbranwyn.com · Jan 29

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that you enjoy it as much as you do. :)

Marauding Mako, my one card for Aetherdrift. This was a goofy assignment, but I had fun with it. The brief asked for a female shark folk and that took some push and pull, I chose mako anatomy for the head shape before the card was named.

I've moved away from the remains of Twitter and what a better time to start posting over here than when I have some new art to share.
