Description
Support me on Patreon and get instructional videos, PSDs and other goodies!Created for the Battle for Zendikar block of Magic: The Gathering. I was asked to create a unique eldrazi spawn that would have the same coloring and general makeup as the other spawn but stand out for some reason. The answer came in the form of coral pattern in the exoskeleton, that patterning is created in the devastated wake of the eldrazi but I decided to incorporate it into it's armor. The image is for a full art card, thus a vertical layout, though the bottom half is covered with the card text which is why it's fairly monochrome and contains no critical elements.

I love how you manage to depict so much with such a clean and simple style, definitely adding you to my watch list

Just saw this on its preview card today.
Good work making all the white ... cartilage / bone (?) stuff all spiky and aggressive-looking. It works really well with the Black-Red 5/3 with haste.

Its odd how the design elements for the eldrazi look very similar to the white phyrexians.

I can't get over how cool these Eldrazi designs for Battle are, especially combined with the Devoid card frames.

Definitely within my favorite designs for this set. Beautiful!

One of my favorite eldrazi designs, the bony coral look is really interesting and brings out a roughness we don't see much in the species.

That's an interesting style for a MTG card, I thought they were strictly realism.

I beg to differ, especially when compared to a lot of Clint's other work. The form and material rendering is pretty flat in this one, it looks cartoony to me because of that.

All the fundamentals of form and lilght are being applied here, the difference is that this is a made up monster, not a person, so it looks alien, Clint likes to keep it simple and not use a lot of texture, which you call 'flat', its what makes his style so appealing.

Again, I have compared it to his other works. Also, while I'll be the first one to admit I'm no expert, I do understand enough about how form, light, and materials interact with each other to create a believably 3-dimensional image. My comment had nothing to do with subject matter nor texture, in fact, texture is the one thing this piece has plenty of as far as "realism" is concerned.
"...its what makes his style so appealing."
I get the feeling from this that you think I'm trying to be disparaging. If that's the case, let me assure you I am not. All I was saying was it's interesting stylistically from what I know the MTG guys to usually accept. I don't think it looks or feels realistic(granted you could get even more cartoony with it), but that's not a bad thing, it's just different.

Wow, that's really impressive! Very imposing too!
I enjoy how the Eldrazi look like coral formations this time around!
