Thank you! Mission to Mars by DePalma was the inspiration. Particularly when Tim Robbins’ character dies

Tragic Trajectory. Digital painting. I laid this out with a symmetrical composition that has an alignment going through the eye, and hid a little moon and sun in the astronaut’s suit for no reason at all.AD: Taylor Ingvarsson. #space #blackhole #magicthegathering #wotcstaff #stars #edgeofeternities

Ok, she writes excellent magic stories, she writes excellent ubran fantasy, she writes excellent sci fi (that in the case of overgrowth which I just finished is hiding a lovely love story at its heart too) seriously why aren't you reading the books of @seananmcguire.bsky.social

As a kid, and even a couple times as a grown up 😂😂, I found myself on the receiving end of my grandmother’s #chancla
Thanks to Izzy for bringing this concept to life for #MagicTheGathering #WOTCstaff

@ovidiocartagena.bsky.social , hermano, no hay palabras para explicar la euforia y orgullo que siento al ver este reciente proyecto suyo con NALAC. Después de más de 30 años al fin hay una verdadera carta representando inequívocamente a Puerto Rico. JAMÁS me hubiera imaginado dicho evento. Gracias 😭

I’m excited that finally #MagicTheGathering Secret Lair Nuestra Magia is announced! The team worked really hard on representing many aspects from all over #Latinoamérica. I served as creative lead and writer for this release. #wotcstaff #latinos

Ea gracias! Fue genial trabajar con el equipo! Queríamos incluir tantas cosas, y Latinoamérica es inmensa. La cultura de los Taínos nos inspiró bastante.

Future Weird. Inks and gouache on paper 6.8x10”.
My first book cover!
It was a quick cover to illustrate. I really wanted to give this cover a pulp feel, as if the art came back from some forgotten paperback.

Aggressive Negotiations. For #magicthegathering new set #tarkirdragonstorm I set the scene up like a still life, making it a classical leaning composition. This brief asked for betrayal as they shook hands, but I went a different way to depict it. #digitalart #betrayal #snakes #ovidiocartagena

This is my first Legendary Creature for Magic! Winter, Cursed Rider, digital painting. It was a big challenge to work on this card and make some weird magical fire while retaining the TV static pattern from Duskmourn spirits.#Duskmourn #wotcstaff #magicthegathering #digitalart

The Lost Caverns of #Ixalan was a love letter to #Latinoamérica in so many ways. We got so many awesome references in! This #illustration was an homage to Tecún Umán, the fallen prince of the Quiché Maya. I used to see his sculpture often, growing up in #Guatemala. AD Vic Ochoa.

When the great AD @zackstella calls, I answer! Haha. Digital painting I made for the new Food Token. Got the chance to do a comforting #stilllife in digital. My only contribution to the new #magicthegathering set #wildsofeldraine. #classicalart #fantasyart #digitalpainting
