Is this an out-of-season-artwork challenge?
If you have been playing magic for a while or at least went back and looked at older cards you have most certainly seen cards with much different artwork than what is in general used today. Now I'm not going to pretend that I am very knowledgeable about artwork and how to make them but there is a clear difference that anyone can see.
Then there was mostly real painted artworks while today the artworks are more often made with computer programs or such. (I think)
Now there are now and then some exceptions but exceptions are exceptions.
In this challenge that is what we'll focus on. Artwork that is not of the normal (Realistic) style.
This is mostly hand painted or hand drawn artwork but can be other styles as well such as anime/manga styles.
So in short there are three groups of artwork that I seek:
1: Hand drawn/painted artwork that has not been clearly refined by computer.
2: Artwork with hard lines and color (cartoon/manga)
3: Other unique styles.
So it should not not be a realistic illustration.
Rules
- Create cards with artwork according to the text above
- Up to 3 entries are allowed.
- Only new cards are allowed.
- Artwork already used on real mtg cards is not allowed.
- Cards can be edited/changed or removed at any time before the deadline
- Credit the artist or provide a source for the artwork.
Prizes
1st place: 3 faves of your choice and a follow
2nd place: 3 faves of your choice
3rd place: 2 faves of your choice
Honorable mention: 1 fave of your choice
Deadline is 17th om March
Good luck smithing!

Cards that have not provided the artist can at maximum reach honorable mention since the challenge is focused on the artworks themselves.
@Ranshi922 It is okay as long as you reference them as the artist.
Hopefully pixel art is a unique enough style.
@Ranshi922 As long as it follows the artwork instructions. That it is not the "realistic artwork that is very normal in mtg artwork nowdays.
Black and white is not really an art-style itself.
Julie Dillon is pretty popular on this site. WoTC has even commissioned her work.
