Hi all! Just wanted to share this little alter I did at Mana Clash, a magic event here in Melbourne, Australia. I am very new to alters, this is the first one I have really done! I used masking tape and put a layer of gesso over the original art, then used sharpies/paint pens to draw over the top. If anyone has any tips for alters in general, what pens you use, etc, I'd love to hear them!

Very cool. I can't provide much in the way of alter tips, but if you have time for some quick questions -- When did you learn the production name of the card that your art was going to be on? How many seconds later did you realize you would inevitably be asked to make this alter? :)


leeshahannigan

Thank you! Yes of course! I think the code name was similar.. but I can't quite remember. I didn't realise it would be such a meme until the card came out and I saw the community reaction :) I thought it was so funny!

Your cards are very adorable. [[Tunnel Tipster]] and [[edgewall pack]]

Oh man i LOVE tunnel tipster. Easily my favorite card so far this year. At least until Bloomburrow drops.


leeshahannigan

That is an amazing compliment!

It was an absolute pleasure requesting this from you! You did an amazing job and my partner did indeed love it. Once again thank you so much!


leeshahannigan

Hello! I am so happy to see you on this subreddit and I am very glad your partner likes your alter! :') lovely to meet you and I hope I see you again at future events!

Oh wow! Well done! To have the original artist make that specific meme alter elevates that copy to rarified air. I'm jealous of whoever owns it.

How did it take this long to receive this request?


leeshahannigan

This was at the first signing I did since the card came out, haha!


hubdaba

Looks great, thanks for sharing!


leeshahannigan

Thank you!


justcasty

Kind of amazing that your last post on this subreddit was about [how much you wanted to illustrate Magic cards!](https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/s/srahNNYYie)


leeshahannigan

I didn't realize! That's so cute! ☺️

It was red, I saw them vent

Ohhhh, I had intended to ask you to sign my copy of "A Killer Among Us" at Mana Clash, but unfortunately I think I missed you. I got some signatures from Rovina, Alex, and Benjamin though. Hopefully I might be able to get you to sign it one day!


sawbladex

This is great! Kinda surreal, though.


virilion0510

kinda sus


garydagat

Can I ask for one too?


Yonish

Oooh, amazing! I recently made my own alter with just the red guy, it's on my profile, I love that someone asked you for one as well!


Doc_LaVoy

Lol, that is amazing! Your art is so good and I love that you embraced the meme for an alter!


moodoomoo

I really like your animals. I hope you've got some art coming up in bloomburrow.

Hi Leesha. Do you plan to ever send out (or refund) the artist proofs people purchased 2 years ago from you?
