I agree completely! This post was just a comedy of errors it seems

MTG flavor judge drawing depicting the cards The Soul Stone and News Helicopter: A human stands at the edge of the sacrificial cliff on Vormir, wearing a heartbroken expression and shedding a tear as they push a helicopter off of the cliff. The helicopter plummets downwards, its rotors spinning.

MTG flavor judge drawing depicting the cards The Soul Stone and News Helicopter: This drawing is nearly identical to the previous drawing, depicting the same location on Vormir, except the helicopter is now perched at the edge of the cliff while the human is falling. A single tear slides down the window of the helicopter. The human's limbs flail as they fall with a small-eyed, horrified expression.

Drawing with two panels. In the top panel, the Final Fantasy XV character Gladiolus Amicitia stands on a rocky vista that overlooks a mountainous landscape. Gladiolus holds a pair of chopsticks with one hand and a steaming cup in the other, and looks at the cup with an anticipatory smile, his tongue sticking out. A small spacecraft, blurred with distance, floats in a corner of the sky. In the bottom panel, the distant spacecraft has fired a massive beam of energy towards Gladiolus. Gladiolus looks up at the spacecraft with a small-eyed, shocked expression, his smile gone.

MTG flavor judge drawing depicting the cards Extinguisher Battleship and Instant Ramen: This drawing shows the aftermath of the previous panel. The spaceship has returned to dormancy. Gladiolus stands in the same position as before, alive but covered in soot and smoldering, his hair and clothes disheveled. The chopsticks and cup of noodles in Gladiolus's hands have disintegrated into ash, and there is a sooty outline on the ground below where the cup was. Gladiolus wears a tired, irritated expression.

MTG flavor judge drawing depicting the cards Lithobraking and Silver Raven: A flaming ball of fire hurtles towards the ground of a mountainous planet, scorch marks already forming on the impending impact site from the heat. A small bird floats in the middle of the fireball, legs dangling and wearing a blank and unperturbed expression. An imminent victim of the impact stands immobile directly below the fireball, staring upwards with a small-eyed expression of horror. Further away, another bystander flees while screaming.

MTG flavor judge drawing depicting the cards Gravkill and Squee, the Immortal: The goblin Squee, dressed in astronaut gear, is being sucked into the supervoid black hole Sothera. Squee wears a blank expression as he is warped and deformed in a spiral into the black hole. Aboard a nearby spaceship, several crew members, including three humans and the goblin Squee, observe the event. Two of the humans and Squee wear horrified and saddened expressions; the third human has snapped their head around to stare at the Squee aboard the spacecraft with a quizzical expression.

Drawing with three panels. In each panel, a winged spacecraft flies through the air, progressively gaining speed with each panel from top to bottom, until it is blurred and deformed with warp-speed movement in the bottom panel.

MTG flavor judge drawing depicting the cards Terminal Velocity and Ornithopter: Continuing on from the previous panels, the "spacecraft" - now revealed to actually be a small toy thopter - has flown into, and bounced harmlessly off of, a random human bystander many times its size. Wings have detached from the damaged thopter as it falls. The bystander looks down at the thopter with a blank expression.

MTG flavor judge drawing depicting the cards Requiem Monolith and Dawnsire, Sunstar Dreadnought: A towering monolith looms over the landscape. Dark, smoky magic shoots out of an eye on the monolith, enveloping a nearby human and connecting them to the planeswalker Jace Beleren, also now covered in the same magic. At the same time, a massive beam of light shines down from the top right corner of the drawing, covering the human and Jace (and part of the Dawnsire MTG card) and causing them to fade into white. The human and Jace stare up at the incoming light with small-eyed, distressed expressions.

MTG flavor judge drawing depicting the cards Appetite for the Unnatural and Sothera, the Supervoid: A monkey looks at the camera with a sassy winking smile, its tongue sticking out. Behind the monkey, suspended in the sky, is the massive black hole Sothera. The monkey holds a thumbs-up towards Sothera, its other hand holding a small fork. Sweat droplets can be seen forming on Sothera's void.

MTG flavor judge drawing depicting the cards Appetite for the Unnatural and Nutrient Block: The same monkey from the previous drawing looks down at a block of "food" that sits on a plate atop a table. The monkey is teary-eyed, grimacing in pain and dismay, and holds a loose tooth in one outstretched hand, sporting an accompanying gap in its mouth.

MTG flavor judge drawing depicting the cards Ragost, Deft Gastronaut and Weapons Manufacturing: The lobster chef Ragost stands before a table, presenting their dish to a customer holding a fork. The dish is a warhead, labeled with a radioactive sign and sitting on a large plate. Rogost looks ahead with a vacant stare, claws by their sides, while the customer looks down at the warhead with a blank expression.

MTG flavor judge drawing depicting the cards Ragost, Deft Gastronaut and Weapons Manufacturing: Continuing from and zooming out from the previous drawing, the customer has poked the warhead with their fork. This has caused the pointed front of the warhead to explode off, launching through the air and embedding itself in the back of a previously out-of-frame bystander. The bystander has been bodily thrown forward by the impact, blurred with motion, and appears to be dead as evidenced by X's for eyes. Rogost and the customer stare at the dead bystander with blank expressions.

MTG flavor judge drawing depicting the cards Sephiroth's Intervention and Moogles' Valor: The SOLDIER Sephiroth lunges towards Aerith Gainsborough, wielding his massive sword Masamune in a downwards stabbing motion. However, a small Moogle floats in the air between Sephiroth and Aerith, and has with a casual flick of its hand parried Masamune in a shower of sparks. The Moogle is wearing sunglasses, and adjusts said sunglasses with its other hand in a smooth gesture. Sephiroth looks down at the Moogle with a small-eyed expression of shock and disbelief, while Aerith looks up at the Moogle with a blank expression.

MTG flavor judge drawing depicting the cards Suplex and Crucible of Worlds: This drawing is set in outer space amid a black, starry backdrop. The tiny figure of prince Sabin René Figaro is bent backwards in a suplex pose as he grips a massive planet, sending it hurtling towards a second planet. A cross-shaped lens flare marks the space between the two planets as they near imminent collision.

drawing worked out better having a target in the background, let's just say it's this

Image of the MTG card Castle

MTG flavor judge drawings @flavorjudgedraw.bsky.social · May 18

Drawing with two panels. In the top panel, the Final Fantasy XV character Gladiolus Amicitia stands on a rocky vista that overlooks a mountainous landscape, a picturesque castle far in the distance. Gladiolus wears a small smile, with closed smiling eyes, as he pours hot water from a kettle into a small cup that sits atop a small table. In the bottom panel, continuing on from the top panel, Gladiolus has set the kettle down on the table and picked up the cup, which now steams with heat. Gladiolus holds a pair of chopsticks with his other hand and looks at the cup with an anticipatory smile, his tongue sticking out.

Drawing depicting the cards Ugin, Eye of the Storms and Instant Ramen: Continuing on from the previous panel, the spirit dragon Ugin has suddenly appeared from off-screen. Only Ugin's head and top half are visible. Ugin's eyes gleam and he wears a stern frown as he reaches out with one arm, sending spirit energy from his outstretched palm into the cup in Gladiolus's hand. The energy radiates from the cup in a devastating beam towards the castle in the distance, obliterating it into fine dust. Gladiolus stares at the cup, his smile replaced with a blank expression. Drawing suggested by Bluesky user @levdev.bsky.social.

MTG flavor judge drawing depicting the cards Abuelo's Awakening and Omniscience: The loxodon planeswalker Quintorius Kand stares up at the translucent, ghostly spirit of Abuelo, who hovers in front of him. Abuelo's eyes are downturned and he wears a serene smile, his hands tucked into the folds of his poncho. However, the top of Abuelo's head is swollen into a massive, pulsing brain, which extends up into the top of the drawing behind the cards. Quintorius wears a blank expression.

I did try this - personally I'm not okay with the level of quality loss, to the point where none of the card text is readable, nor the alteration to frame rate

Imgur link to today's animated drawing, as Bluesky is currently incapable of handling the incredibly obscure and complex GIF file format:

this resulted in complete loss of quality to the point of being unable to read the cards

MTG flavor judge drawings @flavorjudgedraw.bsky.social · Apr 12

today I learned that bluesky doesn't support GIFs yet

apologies to anyone who would have liked an animated drawing today
