MTGinktober shadows Day 4, "Murky," starring Neva, Stalked by Nightmares; Umbris, Fear Manifest; and Jorubai Murk Lurker!
I had a few ideas for this one, but decided to go with this concept, which would feature all new characters, rather than doing one of the other ideas that involved repeats, since this is looking like our last rodeo. Plus we get to do a more frightening illustration here.
Fun Facts: Indeed this is all these characters' debuts. Sadly Neva's draft archetype didn't really pan out, but I believe I've cast her at least once. Plus the Murk Lurker is a classic from his set, which was a lovely grindfest, so you could really afford to put him and his cyclemates to use. No idea about Umbris, though, as I don't play Commander--looks neat though, and it was cool getting to kinda invent more of his design since it's a little vague--or murky as it were.
Easter Eggs: Since we got to get creative with Umbris's accoutrements, I incorporated a special look for his tendrils of smoke or whatever--it's the design from Kuon's Essence, which finally knocks another item off my checklist for drawing all "expressions" of Magic, an OG flipcard from Kamigawa. Still on the hunt for ways to draw more expressions.
Not normal,
