MTGinktober goes on a trip for Day 24, "Expedition," starring Chandra, Flame's Catalyst and Mira and Tau of Ondu!
It's yet another of this year's relentless "people traveling" prompts, so mize illustrate some explorers being inept at achieving their goals, thus I went with these guys from one of Magic's "Journey to the Eye, Part I" webcomic, illustrated by Nic Klein, so all of these costumes are from that, including Chandra with this really cool cape. I did use the Grzegorz Rutkowski art to anchor, though. I like how Chandra's just trying to get a good guide, but keeps getting chumps, so here she's following their "expertise," while losing her patience with them.
Fun Facts: This is Chandra's second (or third) MTGinktober appearance this year, and her surely-record fifteenth over-all! I was just glad to give her more of a starring, rather than incidental role for this one, as she's playing the part of Death the Kid, who is trying to get her useless guides to not be terrible at their jobs (they die almost instantly in the comic). This is our first instance of drawing webcomic characters, though I wouldn't count that as something from the "Expressions of Magic" list.
Easter Eggs: The background is made up of Expedition arts for Kor Haven, and Canopy Vista. My signature is cleverly hidden just under Chandra's left arm. Note I almost forgot Chandra's Regulator tube thing, that goes to her other hand, but I live-inked it in at the last minute--thankfully I kept bouncing between comic pages to get the costumes down.
