High resolution picture of the original Tarmogoyf art

I was thinking about making a goyf playmat but can't for the life of me find a high resolution picture of just the artwork online. Does this just simply not exist for this card?

Still not having a smallest clue what's in the illustration. I see the small Goyf int the left part of picture, but why is he wrapped by some branches? Also, wouldn't it be better to make the creature look more awesome and to increase its size over the unused space in the middle?

There's a person on the left, he's about to be eaten. The actual tarmogoyf's head is about as big as this person-figure, if that helps, and is located slightly to the right of him. Skulls are on the bottom of the piece, they are unrelated. Now if you can see the thing holding the person up, that's goyf's right arm. You can kind of see the pincer-like fingers he has. Now if you follow the arm it will run into his mouth-pincers. These are, in my opinion, complete rip-offs from the mouths used in Blade 3 (terrible movie, though, so who cares?) http://fierofredo.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/blade2reaper.jpg
He's even got the weird inner mouth going, same as goyf, that has weird inward hooking teeth. At the top of the mound of head, you can see tiny little yellow circles which are goyf's eyes.

His entire body is kind of a tangled mess, hard to make out what's going on other than his left arm, which from our perspective is coming out of the page, and hooking slightly downward.

I actually kind of like the original goyf art better than the newer one.

Hello Phoenix Ignition! I was kidding, and I guess you knew that. But know what? I was kidding just a little bit - in fact until I found this big picture, I really didn't know what's in it. And I found it yesterday. So, six-and-a-half years after it's first appearance, I finally know how the Goyf looks like.
Imho the illustrator should have made it's eyes a bit bigger, although it would make the creature less grim. But as I never seen the eyes, I always thought that Goyf faces me with his eyes hidden and the back of his head (with it's line of something that resembles jaw) is an open mouth. Now I get it and find the illustration really cool! :cool:
