The Ranger’s Good Side
The students in Creative Arts are always looking for more subjects to depict in their work, and the newest Captain of the Magistrum's Ranger Corp proved to be an ample muse. This time, it was the sculpting class who requested a model. While Azurium was initially...
Family Trouble in the Ninth and Tenth
This one has been a long time coming. I've had this commission from Marsel-Defender in my files since May 2024, but I had been dragging my feet with regards to writing a story that fit with it. I had some ideas floating, but didn't know...
The Gift of Surprise
When I won this YCH from Marsel-Defender, I had initially intended to tell a lower stakes, more romantic little bit with Azurium and Clara. I wanted to show them in a moment that depicts the strength of their relationship. But as I kept looking at this...
Edmund, Fist of Justice
I've had this card in my files for some time now. I had established a lot time ago that I wanted Edmund to embody Jeskai (Blue/Red/White) colors, but designed Jeskai cards is tricky. I didn't want to fall into the trap of making another spellslinger...
The Sunset Striker
Marsel-Defender recently started offering a few YCHs in the form of street art, and this pose in that style was perfect for Edmund, so I threw my hat in and won the slot. I have use for it as card art. This piece, combined with the...

A Flight of Fancy
"I'm not as out of shape as I use to be, Ed. I'll have you know I can run myself back home on these legs!" Mortimer, the lithe, bespectacled rabbitkin student of the Theorum Magistrum, placed his left hands on his hips, using the other to...
The Cabal’s Swansong
"How is he outflanking us all?" In their shadowy chamber, hidden above in a glamorous bar on the border of Oplentis's wealthy and impoverished districts, a council had formed around a square table. It compromised the leadership of the city's four big organized crime families, one...
Enigma’s Rebirth
One single night. The moment Enigma stepped out of that cage, tearing down the bars with his titan-enhanced arms, it only took one single night for him to usurp Volpes and become the new leader of the Titan Syndicate. Finally free to wield the powers that...
Cross-Generational Training
Interestingly enough, when I purchased this YCH from Marsel-Defender in December 2024, I didn't actually ask her to use Volpes in the shot. I had only provided the references for Edmund to use for this piece. However, when I saw Volpes filling in for Edmund's...
