MTG: Pure Intentions (2004)
Goodbye, airbrush
The Kamigawa block for Magic the Gathering was one of my favorite eras in the game for many years, just in terms of its look. Hiring a bunch of Japanese artists to help sculpt the look and style guide of the game really injected a lot of fresh visuals to the western fantasy market. These weren’t just anime or manga tropes, and it was a breath of fresh air.
Assigned as, “Golden Feather Halo,” which makes a little more sense of the image, this kami/spirit I envisioned as emanating light.
