MTGinktober pegleggedly saunters to Day 4, "Underwater," starring Kari Zev, Skyship Raider goofing around while diving for some treasure. In my commitment not to do the obvious thing, rather than use Ixalanian pirates, I went with the quasi-OG, that is, the first high profile pirate in recent years (and the giveaway that the next set would have a poop deck full of pirates).
This was a fun one because it involved drawing upside down, which throws you for a loop when figuring out lighting--you get so used to lighting as you always do that you go on auto pilot, but then you suddenly realize it's supposed to be upside down, so now you're shading the wrong side! But I mean, what kinda amateur falls for that, though, right?
Fun Facts: I originally envisioned this being Kari Zev poking her head underwater to greet Jori En, but alas, I knew I wouldn't have enough time to fit her in with commensurate quality as Karz, so we had to give her the ol' cutterino. My next impulse was to have her monkey bud playing with her, but again, had to pull the trigger on the faster option, and that scheme had to sleep with the Harambes.
Easter Eggs: We got a friendly little Goldfish just bizzing his own mindness, and speaking of gold, that curious curio sports a familiar Fiblthpian face. There's also a hidden message on one of her coin button things...!
Not normal,
