Shake it up for 2021
🕑 Added 2020-11-09 16:46:29 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
I wanted to share some ideas for 2021. I've made a fancy chart above to outline some ideas. Nothing is really set in stone giving us a chance to discuss either thru messages or comments below. So many of you have been with me for so many waves and I truly appreciate it and your input is important to me.
My main goals overall are still very much the same; have fun and experiment with art. What I'm hoping to do next year is try and make some of these tiers feel a little more special and less bulky. I'm hoping that adding signed artist proofs, random foil tokens, and adding a painted artist proof will be some things that make the higher tiers have a bit more premium feel without having to drown you in tokens.
I thought I might also experiment with adding a couple of small tiers that focus on a few of the special cards types; sketches and full art. Those tiers will focus on the their respective titles but also include 1 of the main token of the wave.
The Collector Tier will be a painted version of the current wave artwork on the back of the random MTG Artist Proof. And there will be just 1 of those available. My arm certainly can be twisted if more than one are desired.
A note about unpublished tiers; if you're still in an unpublished tier I'll be moving you to a nearest neighbor that closest resembles what you already were getting. It will just be a weight off of my shoulders during the fulfillment process.
Share your ideas!
If you have ideas please share them with me. I make these for you guys! The one thing I keep in mind for tier creation is weight for shipping. Keeping envelopes to no more than 2 ounces is ideal for my shipping budget.
Next Wave?
I'm hoping to be able to work on something for this month. I'd love to hear from you guys. Leave a comment below.
What else is going on
I'm getting work started on 2 more Magic paintings and a tarot card for a set being worked on with a ton of amazing artists called the The Woven Path Tarot. More about this should be coming next year. I'm working on IX of swords. I'm also sitting on nearly two dozen unreleased paintings and artworks I am anxiously awaiting to share. Many Magic paintings, a few covers, a special playmat. Let's all look forward to a bright 2021.

I have something for Fate!!
I'm a huge fan of the spore counters. I'd love to see something similar. Blaze, bounty, cage, divinity, experience, fate, wish, etc. Or even something a little more abstract to show an effect, such as a detain card for the Azorius mechanic.
Chatting with a patron I know I need to address my terms in the chart. but for right now this might help. Main- that's the current token for the current wave Alternate- that's the alternate coloring or artwork of the Main token Sketch- that's the sketch version of the Main token. Full Art- that's going to be the full art only tokens with no text and will tend to now be a flip token with the alternate on the back. Metal- that's your aluminum token all shiny. Booster- this is a random token from my stock of tokens. Original Art- those are going to be sketches of the wave theme as custom tokens.
