The idea of the magic card "Swords to plowshares" is essentially that target creature rejects the way of the sword and becomes a farmer instead, hence you lose them as a combatant but gain the health from their farming.
This is really fuckin funny in conjunction with a lot of potential targets for that card. Can you just imagine you're an average farmer in an MTG plane, have a normal-ass day, and all of a sudden you look to the east, and stretching up past the clouds you see Ulamog, the despoiler, one of the infamous eldrazi titans, a creature that corrupts all that is good by its mere presence. And all the enormous bastard is doing is using their massive fuckin tendrils to plow the land and plant potatos, and tend to their flocks of eldrazi spawn, and then it turns its eyeless head thats the size of several cities at you and tips its wide brimmed straw hat at you and continues going about its work.
Felt like trying my hand at some more compleated walker designs!
First, Chandra - the second design I drew, and my favorite of the three. I imagine that she could have willingly been completed, or just resisted Norn’s authority through sheer gay rage or something.
Next, Sorin - this was the last of the three I drew, but gave me so much trouble that by sketch number three I just decided to color it without inking. I might give this another try later.
Finally, mtg’s father of the year, Oko - the first design I did and the smoothest process by far. I just think he’s neat.
I might do more of these, so if you have any questions or suggestions for planeswalkers to compleat/redesign, I would love to hear from y’all!
I was curious to see what Archangel Raphael would look like! maybe he pulls a reverse Zariel (somehow?) also I wanted to draw him in the angelic scion outfit 😇
I listened to Angel Baby by Troye Sivan repeatedly as I drew this 🪽
