#CommandTober #Inktober 31/31! Victory!

Il est oraaange!
Why is Le Poisson Steve a detective? Well, a year ago there were only two legendary fish in Magic, and this one had arms and legs - so I built a deck with it!

Also Le Poisson Steve rhymes and has the same cadence has Le Détective!

#CommandTober #Inktober day 30!

Some of these write themselves, but some are a STRUGGLE. Considered different nobles, elves, moonfolk, etc. for this. In the end I just picked the option with the most colours, so a hypothetical deckbuilder can realistically include more character from the book!

Day 29! Final Countdown for #Inktober #CommandTober

Had the idea to build those two forever - at least I drew them now!

Jeska's tripling works cause Marty is the hero of a trilogy 🥷 and also NOT chicken. And Doc is... Doc.

Day 28 #CommandTober #Inktober

If you haven't watched Dr Stone, I recommend it! As exciting as any other shonen, but packed with SCIENCE!

From there we have another character who owes a lot of inspiration to Lady Oscar (seen earlier this month) - François, the hypercompetent nonbinary butler/chef

#CommandTober #Inktober day 27... so few days left :0

Some of these write themselves, to a point where it feels like cheating.

Also I've learned I can't draw Harrison Ford.

You know it took me until this weekend to realize that the name #CommandTober (that I've been using all month) didn't just kind of work because Oc-tober like all the other art challenges people have made for this month (Inktober et al)

but ALSO as a one-letter-away reference to Command ToWer?

Happy day 26 of my #Inktober #CommandTober!

Do magic tricks with all your friends!

It's actually kind of amazing that there hasn't been a Collab between Magic and Sanrio yet?

Day 25 #CommandTober #Inktober

For this one I looked for a rogue, telling myself human would bw good, but as she's so iconic I'd take something like avatar. Little did I know there WAS an avatar rogue, and one that steals abilities from lands! How geographical!

#Inktober #Commandtober day 24

I said I'd get back to Jareth!

He was never going to be this card in a Secret Lair because nobody likes Winter, but they share that 80s hair & vibe, plus the colours and abilities work. The infinite Labyrinth confuses and traps us (even our Goblin King himself yo).

Day 23 #Inktober #Commandtober

Hail to the King! King Graham of Daventry, from King's Quest. Abilities aren't the best fit, but one iconic king deserves another. Plus you can do literally whatever if you go through the right fetch quest!

Day 22 #Inktober #Commandtober

Another Nintendo character and another blue-white platformer hero?

I thought the abilities here made me think of picking up new power-ups and equipment and opening up new areas (unblockability, more power = better and better gear). Metroidvania mechanics!

#Commandtober #Inktober day 21!

Remember earlier I said ReBoot was great? It still is! Unlikely to get into Universes Beyond, but that would be so dope you have no idea.

Anyway, Megabyte is the grixisest character to ever grixis. Evil, powerful, smart, stylish, and voiced by the late Tony Jay. A++

Day 20 already! #Inktober #Commandtober

I know Magic sets have certain needs, but it's still weird a world-ending existential threat like Exdeath (FF5) was a dinky uncommon, with powerful rares kept for more popular (hot) characters.

Maleficent, as cool as she is, is a more local sort of threat.

Day 19! #Commandtober #Inktober

I was looking for an artifact creature that copies abilities, and found this one. Megaman isn't a dog, but he HAS a dog! So that still works!

I never watched the Ruby-Spears cartoon in its time, but I am still fascinated that it exists (and others like it).

#inktober #commandtober day 18

Bad Horse! Bad Horse!
He rides across the nation, the thoroughbred of sin

And he really likes murder (even has the same mana cost).

He's from Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Remember that, internet?

Day 17 #Inktober #Commandtober

Captain Planet, he's a hero!
Gonna take pollution down to zero!

I thought an elemental with at least four colours would be good. Also thought about him being Aang.

Anyway, the power is yours!

Day 16 of #Commandtober #Inktober.

We take one captain of the guard and replace it with another: Lady Oscar, from Versailles No Bara - an icon for all genders, who no doubt in part inspired Adriana, and also 💯 inspired Utena whom I drew earlier this month.

and Melee because Vive la Révolution!

The divine Miss Piggy being the trampling immortal diva that she is.

#Inktober #Commandtober day 15

Obviously a human/dog pair, but also: Haldan's ability is good, but it's useless without Pako's support - while dog friend's abilities work fine on their own. I think that maps well to how good old Charlie Brown is always the underappreciated butt monkey.

While we're on the topic of beloved 1980s fantasy films... and BECAUSE it's the 13th 🖤 day of #Commandtober #Inktober:

Falkor, the Luckdragon! who is NOT a dog, as everyone who's read the book knows.

He is, however, a source of lucky things happening - some might even say little miracles!

Day 12 #Inktober #Commandtober

You can your money however you want, but the Secret Lair releasing today has some 🤷 card choices.

I had actually, coincidentally, been thinking about Labyrinth reskin a week or two before the announcement xD Yep! And his is where I landed for Sarah.

Adventure!

#inktober #commandtober day 11!

Frog human horror? Only one thing comes to mind! Not super familiar with Battletoads so can't speak to the abilities, but the three colors at least I found match pretty well the three characters (dutiful leader, fame seeker, big guy).

Happy Saturday the 10th of #Commandtober #Inktober!

Saw this one giving everybody gifts, but they HURT? My brain went: Krampus! Then my brain went: @tappytoeclaws.bsky.social's goat mom cosplay!

So I drew that.

Day 9 of my #Inktober #Commandtober

A wizard that lets wizards draw cards? Made me think of this dude from Discworld, the youngest faculty member of Unseen University, who leads the High Energy Magic division and built their magic computer, all with the help of (gasp!) students (the nerdiest ones).

Day 8 of #Commandtober #Inktober

See, when she starts, somebody else has the Monarchy (i.e. the Rose Bride), but once she wins it, she becomes invincible. Unless of course somebody wins the Rose Bride back, because all these duels keep happening.

I thought that was pretty fitting! 🌹🤺
