MTG: Nin, The Pain Artist

One of the spoiler cards on display at PAX East for Magic the Gathering's "Commander" format, set to be released this summer.
You can find out more about the format and see the other cool cards here at the official site:

This was REALLY exciting to find out about, I had no idea that the card was going to be blown up and used as a spoiler - Good times!

- Usually I don't design the characters/creatures/items in the cards, im asked to re-imagine them based on Art Direction notes and rough concept art provided by the Magic the Gathering concept artists.
In this case I was given extremely loose notes " ..a female vedalken wizard". So in essence I designed Nin, The Pain Artist. Believe it or not I prefer to re-imagine and illustrate the concept based on rough ideas and notes, but I had good fun with designing on this one, hopefully i'll have the the opportunity to revisit her in another card in the future.

Art Direction: Jeremy Jarvis

Many, many thanks for all the great comments and interest, it's the best part of the whole thing!

Best wishes,
