MTGinktober rolls easy when it rides into Day 9, "Bounce," starring Hargilde, Kindly Runechanter; Cecily, Haunted Mage; Zethi, Arcane Blademaster; and Malik, Grim Manipulator!
This was a toss up between this concept and just a light illustration of Alexi having a playful hop, so I can take it easy since I'm really starting to feel the pain and exhaustion by now. But this concept was too good and stupid not to do, so we went with a send up of a classic SNL sketch, "Bounce in California." Funnily enough, SNL also had legendary, strong Cecily.
Fun Facts: No Universes beyond cards are allowed in MTGinktober, but these are Universes Within, so they make the cut, which also achieves my goal again of drawing every kind of Magic card possible. Another appeal of these characters is that they're originally based on kids, I believe, so they kind of fit the high school setting. Anyway, this is each character's first appearance. This is our second SNL sendup, though.
Easter Eggs: My signature is spread across the different signs (which are based on those in the sketch) and the trophy case, which also casually sports the Magic World Championship trophy. Wonder how they got that...
