Cephalid Inkmage - Magic the Gathering: Foundations

I am thrilled to share the the first of my contributions to Foundations, the newest set for Magic the Gathering, which releases in November. First up is the mighty Cephalid Inkmage, using its ink magic to do ink magic things. Here is a look at the final art.

I will be sharing the process and steps for this piece another day, but for now, I have two originals available for this piece. As the final is digital, there is no painting, but all of my drawings and studies are traditional. Here are the final drawing and the tonal study for the Cephalid Inkmage.
