🧙✨ "Valkyrie Harbinger," acrylic & colored pencil on paper, 16.5x12".

I'm ecstatic to share my first Magic: The Gathering card -- Valkyrie Harbinger -- for their Kaldheim set! And it's an angelic creature, which I obsessed over (particularly Serra Angel) way back when I played in the late 90s. I use to have a mean land-destroying deck involving the Dingus Egg artifacts that would deal damage for every land that went into the graveyard. This is a full circle to my childhood when I would accompany my older brothers to local Magic tournaments. It's because of the art (and my brothers) that I got into the game so it's incredibly surreal to have worked on this.

Thank you so much, Zack Stella, for the wonderful art direction on this project! The original artwork is available for purchase -- facebook.com/groups/mtgartmarket/permalink/2929914480572085.
