RE: "King of the Assholes" in Magic: The Gathering EDH/Commander format!

in #games7 years ago

Believe it or not @beekart, in the late 90's, I was set up with one of WOTC's creative directors through a friend I met at a comic book convention in Metcalf, MO [...this was during an era where cons were small, smelly bingo halls and not city-wide events with 80,000 attendees]. He said "...you do great pin up art! You should send some to my friend at Wizards.". I sent a giant envelope of original pencils and they sent back all but two! They bought them for $80/ea! I was 18, all my friends were D&D and MTG nerds and I was the hottest shit. King of the nerds! That lasted a little under a year but I sold about a dozen pencils to them. None ever became cards, but I think they were just stock piling concept art since they had truckloads of money.

If i could even say that WOTC bought some of my artwork to potentially use for DND or MTG would be an accomplishment ;) Well done man hahah .. i got to do cards for WOW though .. so ... :D im not complaining
