[Official] Altered Art Thread (56k Beware)

Pringlesman · 07-31-2007, 02:02 AM

This is a thread to post your altered cards. Everybody have fun.

Well here is mine, Sharpie on Black Knight, I give you the Dark Knight.

I see people asking about the legality of these quite a bit so I though I would update the first post with this. Mostly what it means is ask your head judge.

Very cool. Now you need to do a Jester's Cap with the Joker

Here are some Elephant tokens I made. Two with ink pen, and the third with just pencil.

Please make all posts in english please. Warning. Thank you. - PolarBearGod

I'm sure many of us have seen alternate art versions of cards. Sometimes the original artist will redo the original artwork and create something quite different. Seeing as this IS the artwork section of the forums, I thought it might be nice to post some of these variants here and invite others to do the same. Even if it's your own work, please feel free to share.

Here are a few to get everyone going.....

Anyways a couple I have.

PolarBearGod · 10-22-2007, 10:15 PM

My apologies Pringlesman. I forgot about that thread. Allow me to just merge this one with yours. Sorry about that.

I used to have that Morphling and I miss it so. I believe I traded it for two foil Masticores. Here's some more....

Did you paint those? If so what are you using as a medium. I tried acrilics once, but they came out all cruddy.

glurman · 10-24-2007, 08:45 PM

The ones without borders are actually being sold on a popular auction site. Just look for "Incinerate".

He says that his medium is sharpie (colored, obv.)

And I now know what I can do with all of my white bordered stuff!

icpTJ · 10-24-2007, 09:42 PM

Here's some of my brother's altered cards he's picked up over time.
The Voltron 'Tog is done in acrylics, the rest is marker/sharpie, I think. He got that ebay guy to complete a playset of the Ponders for him.
My brother doesn't alter, just picks them up from ebay whenever he can.
- I don't have any altered cards, though.
