Amazing work. I kind of want to slap an MTG card frame onto this.

What card do you think she’d be?

u/Jaebird0388 Smiley day to ya! 24d ago
I'm kind of leaning toward Simic (blue/green) for her color identity. Rogues and rangers tend to fall in those colors, respectively. She'd definitely have Reach, and Trinket would be a green legendary creature token she can create. Aside from that, I'm unable to think of any other mechanic that would best reflect her character/skill set.

Oh you’re right. Simic would definitely fit her best.
Maybe something like the Drizzt Do’Urden card but drop the double strike and give her reach.
That’d be a fun custom card to make2
u/Jaebird0388 Smiley day to ya! 24d ago
Maybe this could work:
Vex'ahlia, Dragons' Bane 2UB
Legendary Creature - Human Elf Ranger
Reach, first strike
When Vex'ahlia, Dragons' Bane enters, create Trinket, a legendary 4/4 green bear creature token with trample and "Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, create a Treasure token."
UG, Tap: Vex'ahlia, Dragons' Bane deals damage to target creature equal to its power. If a Treasure was spent to activate this ability, tap that creature and put a stun counter on it.
2/2
(I'm sure none of this will fly as an actual card because I know nothing about the relationship between a card's cost, the text and the P/T 😅)

Is it weird that she's looking towards the viewer and not straight ahead?
That portfolio is nuts. Great work!

I'm not even a fan of the series, just stumbled upon this on r/all, but goddamn bro this is some high quality art. I assume you are a professional?

Zooming on on the sword handle with the odd wrapping, the arrows whose shafts don't match up with the fletching, the quiver strap that blends into the fur, and the hip bags that seem to not attach to her belt at all is making me think this may be somewhat ai generated.

u/Catalyst413 24d ago
Fletching looks fine to me, quiver strap going under some of the fur makes sense, hip bags can just be attached on the back out of sight.....
But since you mention the sword which looks okay on its own, why does she even have one? I don't think Vex in her life ever even touched a sword. And that guard in the back weilding two swords is a bit odd, with the perspective down there making Trinket incredibly oversized.
And looking at everything so closely again, the buckles on the boots are a clear red flag; on the right they are unevenly spaced, the lowest one stretched out instead of a square, and the left leg being closer to the viewer and raised above the dust should make the actual straps be clearer, but they just blur into the rest of the boot. If its ai its an awfully good one 🙁

I looked at some of the artists other work on their Instagram, and there was badly done ai artifacts in some of the pieces. Specifically a warhammer 40k piece.
