Description One of the four Magic: the Gathering cards I worked on with Anthony Waters ([link] ) for the Fifth Dawn expansion. I penciled and provided initial colors, he made it pretty. Unfortunately, due to a post-production error, my name was omitted from the Fifth Dawn *and* Dark Steel cards. D'oh. :/ That was a little depressing, but at least I finally got some MtG work under my belt.

Actually, Anthony Waters and I painted the card for M:tG...this isn't a copy. Thank you for the kind comment, though!

Er...I don't know what you mean by 'original', but I worked on six cards, and have done two solo ones to date.

Well, gosh! Thanks for the comments. If you want to talk to a big-time MTG veteran, give Anthony a ping. (I think I listed his url in the image description...if not, it's here: [link] ) Though I provided the underwork, he painted this card...and has done nearly 100 other cards over almost 10 years.

And he's a really REALLY nice guy. X)

The green (if I remember correctly) is Necrogen mist, which all Nim emit. Or something like that.

As for the picture; I love it!
I've actually got this card. Once I get a couple more, I'm making a Nim deck. And then, all shall know the power of teh Uber-Zombies! Mwah-hah-hah-haah!

*Ahem*

(Side-note: I tried to type the Uber-Zombies in leet, and physically couldn't do it. I can't even type leet leetly! What's wrong with me?!)
