Looking to commission an artist to create an MTG art style image featuring my brothers cat for a custom playmat gift
Hi everyone! New member here. I hope I am posting in the right place. If not, I apologize and would greatly appreciate any advice as to where I could find someone to do this for me.
My brother and I are twins and he’s literally my best friend. We play MTG together all the time and it’s been one of our quintessential bonding experiences for many years now.
Last Christmas, I used Etsy to purchase a custom creature card for him featuring his cat. His cat is a really large, fluffy, doe eyed Rag Doll breed and he is literally the most photogenic thing I’ve ever seen lol!
This year, my idea is that I want an artist who can create an MTG themed image of his cat in the same art style as how the cards are. I want to have that image the. used to create a custom playmat.
So my question for this sub is.. is this something you feel is doable? And if so, where can I find someone like this? Google wasn’t very helpful so I figured I would come ask here first before blindly hiring someone from a Google search.
Thank you in advance 🙂

Keimi as my first try.
Never really liked paints (usually into pencil/charcoal/wood burning. Black and grey stuff.) but I gave it a go for the first time making a Keimi token for a buddy to use. Not being great with paints I still used ink and pencil for parts but I'm learning. Gonna get some new brushes as I see now that spending the extra really would help.
The graffiti is more smudged than I wanted but it says:
NCHNT IN NME -1 life U +1 life
Translating to:
"Whenever you cast an enchantment spell, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life."
Also I 100% coped the Save Frog from Mother3, I believe the OG artist was Amanda Flagg. I just thought it was cute and worked for the token.

Help to start drawing my own proxy's
How do you guys do it? I heard you can use alcohol on foil cards to remove the art then draw on top of it, but I really don't have any spare foils at home. Aby other ways? What kind of paper do you use? Any advice on general?

Flesh Duplicate Annihilation Full Art
The alien is painted with interference to have it maintain the reflective oil slick look. Couldn't capture it on camera, but MAN does it look good in person.

What a dreamy frame for such a nightmare of a beast! Super happy with how these colors all blended for the frame and how the contrast the dark art box.
This illustration is a mix of a few mediums. I used Posca markers for the color blocking, added some shading and highlights with a pencil and white charcoal, and did the linework with micron and gellyroll pens.
