Here's another of my contributions to Magic's M15 core set. This was a bit of an odd one since rather than your typical fire wreathed meteorite hurtling towards doomed person/place/thing (I guess those have been a bit overdone), the art description called for something a little more comedic:
ART DESCRIPTION:
Setting: SHANDALAR
Color: Colorless artifact
Location: On a city street.
Action: Show an iridescent meteorite about 10' across that has landed on someone who had previously been walking down the street. Maybe we can see the poor victim's legs under the still sizzling, smoking meteorite. Kind of looking for that Wizard of Oz moment where the Wicked Witch of the East was crushed by the house.
If it adds to the scene, show some shocked and horrified onlookers.
Focus: The smoking, irridescent meteorite.
Mood: Humorous - two pathetic looking legs/feet under a massive meteorite.
Ok...not really what I envisioned Magic art to be (outside of Unhinged), but I thought it was funny and tried my best with it anyway. After playing with many different angles, we finally decided that a street-level angle with the unfortunate guy's legs sticking out towards the viewer was the best way to go. Here's the sketch:
...and the final painting:

And it's another Uncommon! ...Which I know isn't really a big deal, but I'll take what I can get.
As usual I'll have the artist proofs available in my Etsy shop once I get them in the mail.
Also, the painting and sketch are available for sale, please contact me at murphyillustration@gmail.com.
Thanks for checking in! I hope to have some more stuff coming along pretty soon.
