Great ideas, dude! Castlevania is perfectly suited as inspiration for Innistrad alters! I have only played Castlevania on Nintendo DS, but the flair just feels right.
Thanks! I've been a fan since I played the Mega Drive's Castlevania as a kid in the 90's, the latest cards block has many opportunities for Castlevania alters!
@Poxy14. Wow!that must be maybe your best dual so far, it really takes you to that beach.Is there an actual place you based your alter?
I definitely like your drawing ability as the extension looks great, but the texture is pretty bad. I think you will need to thin the paint just a bit more next time.
I've been working on some alters lately, experimenting with styles (noted I seem to enjoy the sunsets lol). I apologize for the image quality as I don't have a scanner :-/. These are all for my EDH deck. I'm debating on if I should take on some commissions or not.

These are pretty awesome. I really like how his art has gotten so off the wall and his signature is somewhat getting mixed in with it. Placing the smile in the sea for darkslick or the face in the fire above the creatures in Bonfire would have been better, but some of the other placements were good though.
I've been altering for a bit now and I'm ready to share, I think. I've mostly been doing these to potentially use in an EDH deck; I don't go to my LGS much so I don't know anyone who'd want commissions or anything. Anyways, here're a few of my more recent alters. A couple of them are pretty much directly inspired by things I've seen in this thread and elsewhere (Klug's old counterspell, cardkitty's dynamo).
I'm very much still learning so if anyone has critiques I'd be grateful.
On a somewhat related note, how do you guys typically charge for commissions? Is it just hourly? If they're supplying the card do you still change (... alter. ha.) the price based on the card's value?
There isn't really a set rule on commissions. I've heard people charge from a flat tenish dollars, to like more than ten dollars an hour. I mainly look at ebay prices to get my ideas, and tenish dollars more than the cards original cost seems pretty common. I usually go a little lower cause I feel there is a low demand with people I talk to.
