MTGinktober snaps up Day 26, "Camera," starring Meet and Greet "Sisay"; Svega, the Unconventional; and Questing Cosplayer!
All right, this was a fun one to put together--I've wanted to draw Svega for a while, and right during MagicCon Las Vegas, no less, we finally get a great opportunity to feature her. I've also wanted to draw a sorta fan-talent kind of interaction, and this was just the prompt for all of that. The trickiest thing was working a Magical camera in there, but fortunately, as Magic insists on getting more modern, we have a pretty strong solution in Undergrowth Recon.
Fun Facts: This isn't actual Sisay, of course, but some kind of imposter Elf, so this would be her debut, as with the others. This is the second time I've used directory signage for our signature, though, oddly enough. Also, I almost forgot Questo's hand-teeth, but was able to live ink them in there--not his other hand is the one with the buck teeth, critical details.
Easter Eggs: I studied actual photos of what MagicCon Las Vegas looks like this year to inform our background, so those vertical vendor banners and imposing pillars, for instance, come from that, but also memories of attending ComicCon, so a lot of people waiting in various lines. I don't know the policy at MagicCon, but I added bracelets for press, and tags for weapons to signify they're props and the owner is an exhibitor, which I know some cons do--Svega's tag is swooped behind her for the photo.
