MTGinktober keeps on Day 28, "Camping," starring Thalia, Guardian of Thraben; Tyvar Kell; Myntasha, Honored One; Blex, Vexing Pest!  

 Man, woke up and my back was really feeling it, took a while to shake it off--confident I can complete the month, but hopefully the back heals up or at least it gets no worse than this.  Anyway, I wasn't exactly sure what to do with this one--maybe a callback to something Magic-related of mine (or at least a character telling a scary story?  Some of the kid characters at camp?  Well, I went with two Voss characters hanging out at some kind of camp, as a send-up of his more relatively recent adventurous, and as always, cheerful tone. 

Fun Facts:  This is Thalia's third MTGinktober appearance.  I like drawing her, so that was one of the reasons we went with today's team.  I was also thinking that while I've drawn every kind of Magic card now, there's actually one tiny variety I haven't hit yet--they're one notch above test cards--Heroes of the Realm cards--well, now we have indeed hit every kind of printed (true) Magic card you can have (real, unreal, test, and heroes), as well as every release state (old, new, none, pending).

Easter Eggs:  They have Camp Wedonwannamull T-shirts, founded in 1997 (the year the Paris Mulligan debuted, the first legitimate mulligan rule) and hats--Tyvar has a Snow mana logo, and Thalia's has Avacyn's symbol of course--but otherwise they're wearing their actual costumes.  Myntasha's graham cracker box has an Invader-Zim-style bee.  The Hershey's bar is a Hurkyl's bar.  And as always with Algen fan art, the little, swooshy B (ß) lands in the expiration date on the box. Background elements from Base Camp.
