I suggest that at the bottom of each article you have a list of helpful links for beginners or base articles you have written. An article about paint selection, pros and cons, minimum colors, an article to get someone who has no artistic talent whatsoever to get started making mistakes and get better. I currently have some waterbased pains, but im finding it pretty bad, way too many layers needed to pain stuff, and I cant find an article to help me out. Love the artwork you do. Thank you.

Despite a lack of artistic ability, I find this series fascinating. Looking at alters is cool, but 'watching' them get made is even more so.

I really like this series on alters even though I'm brave or skilled enough to try and alter cards myself. And more pictures is always good, I love to see the both the finished project and how it gets there!

The center ray of fire looks rather off, hurting the whole dynamic of the alter. Too much orange, not enough yellow/white.
One technique that is sometimes discussed on MTGSalvation is the sanding of paint off of the card and painting the edges surrounding it.
The alters in this article are too subtle, but that's just my taste. Didn't even realize the cancel was altered until the very end.

Is that because the bolt itself is actually clear through to the foil, or is that an artifact of the scanning/photo?

If the bolt's clear through to the foil, is there a reasonable way to remove the ink from the textbox to achieve the same effect there as well?
