There was a pretty detailed brief yes, mostly because he's an already established character so you kind of follow suit. But other than that I mostly just focused on getting the scale to feel godly, so the chains and humans helped a lot in that regard.
Erebos, God of the Dead
Here's another piece I totally forgot to post when it came out. One of my favourite gods of the Theros set, what a privilege to do a card like this.

Pia Nalaar, Chief Mechanic
Yikes, I'm backlogging on Magic work again! Here's a card I was kind of really proud of last year. It's always such an honour to visualize a character so rich in backstory and lore.

MtG: Aetherdrift
AD: Sam Padilla
A corpse sits in an alcove next to an ancient highway.
A glowing sword in the middle of a junkyard.
A rest stop with a huge neon sign reading "Gas" stands atop a cliff bathed in fiery light of uncertain origin.
A small home, perhaps a trailer, sits on the horizon, a ghost of an overpass hanging above it. The sky is heavily overcast.

Some late Bloomburrow drops! What a fantastic world to help populate.
Vampires, one can never paint enough of them.
Back for more Ixalan goodness! Felt a bit like Scrooge McDuck painting this one, fun times.
Gotta start somewhere, why not with this dude. I can always do with more Innistrad love.
