Reading the sort of "vision" how the playmat should look like rendered my jaw unable to close, so my ramen started dropping back into the bowl. Curses!
I'm stoked to see the mockup of this.
Also, I'd probably buy 2 or 3 of these playmats, pretty much no matter the cost.
This looks like a job for me.
Most of my posts will be written from my phone, so please excuse the eventual lack of proper typing.
I think a full color version for the playmat and then a monochrome (tinted grayscale) version of the same artwork for a t-shirt would be pretty dope. For that to really work visually (on the t-shirt), the full color piece would have to be pretty contrasty, though.
Also, I can provide you with a vector version of the site logo if it would be helpful to you. If you'd rather I add it to the completed artwork after it's finished, that's fine too. (I promise I won't fuck it up.)
Wow that battlefield full of iconic cards would be really awesome!
I'd already be very happy with a picture of Bob getting struck by a Lightning Bolt though.
(Sorry, Bob, but that's just how it goes...)
Why can't you just send him farming? Violence! Everywhere!Wow that battlefield full of iconic cards would be really awesome!

That's not spectacular.
I once sent a Thrun, the Last Troll farming. That was spectacular. (Props to Humility)
Agreed that we will also need StP on the playmat. Also, a way to pay tribute to Canadian Threshold, our one and true king. Lightning Bolt, Nimble Mongoose, Delver and maybe a Stifle hitting a Wasteland or something. Also, what card you would say gets Daze'ed most often in Legacy?
The seven cardinal sins of Legacy:
1. Discuss the unbanning ofLand TaxEarthcraft.
2. Argue that banning Force of Will would make the format healthier.
3. Play Brainstorm without Fetchlands.
4. Stifle Standstill.
5. Think that Gaea's Blessing will make you Solidarity-proof.
6. Pass priority after playing Infernal Tutor.
7. Fail to playtest against Nourishing Lich (coZ iT wIlL gEt U!).
IMHO, I'd prefer a simple playmat (...like the one I have?). I always been a firm believer that Legacy is a gentlemen (?) sport and we don't need all the flashyness of an overloaded playmat when we can simply show off with pimped-over-the-top deck(Ref: Bryant Cook, Royce Walter,Feline & Danyul decks).
We don't need flashy playmats.
Skills + Deck "pimpness" > Flashy playmats.
Flashy playmats can be bought anywhere.
That's why I like the black and white style if there's a way not to spoil the playmat with dirt over time..

so far the piece is like a collection / montage of classic legacy staples either battling or posing or interacting in some way. its looking pretty cool, I should have something to post up this evening. Hope everyone digs it!
Can't wait to see it! (:

I've looked thru your website and different pieces you've done and I have to say you got some mad skills!
Looking forward to look at the possible art!
I am excite!
Half-a-chubby?
lol this guy.
Depending on how Dave's illustration turns out, we could theoretically have two versions of the playmat, one in full color and one in monochrome. I think once the artwork is finalized we can start a discussion and maybe a poll about it. Obviously we want to produce what people are most interested in having, so if there's very low interest in either version, we'd probably avoid it and focus on the other.
Ok here is what I have mocked up so far and what I was envisioning for the mat.. taking alot of previous ideas and kind of montaging it all together as well. NOTE: this isn't near final. alot needs to be rendered out and more characters added (more goblins etc).. most of my time was spent moving diferent parts around and figuring out how i wanted to pose things. Lots to be done and added!
at the same time I wanted to get something up early to make sure people were liking this type of direction. Trying to modify characters a bit if i could also (craterhoof is prob too similar).
This will be painted at a pretty high res also.
I do also like the idea of the black and white image with the color logo on top. Keeps it a bit classier imo ;)

My only suggestion would be to find a way to centre the logo on the map. Also, it looks sick in BW, but I think you could incorporate blues in it as well, in line with theSource coloring scheme.
nice suggestion. something I will try out. just a reminder this is not final. final will look 10x cleaner and more polished.
oh my GAWWDDDD I LOVES IT CAN WE MAKE THIS NAOW I CANT TAKE IT. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU..
Ahem.
Okay I have calmed down. It looks super nice. Your art style is perfect for this sort of thing. I want to buy you a beer.
