Re: The Spellbook of Mesmerize

I'll be honest, I'm not so much a fan of the new one. The single eye seems a little odd to me seeing it on the card, and it feels less - Mesmerising than I expected, and less so than the first one. He just looks like a creepy old man with a weird eye, to me. I genuinely preferred the original!

There wasn't enough space in the image to get both eyes in. If someone finds the image with more material on the right side I can rework it, otherwise I can go back to the original.

Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those.

Not quite what I was meaning.

As for getting both eyes in, it's not a difficult image you could take about an inch from the left side of the picture, shrink it a little, lighten it & add it to the left side. The below should give you an idea of what I mean. That was done with MS Paint at work (in about 60 seconds) so I couldn't do a proper job. I couldn't even lighten it . But you can see where I was going.

For the spiral, I meant it to be coming from the eyes not in the eyes. So overlayed on the face.

Re: The Spellbook of Mesmerize

Honestly, I'm still actually really happy with the original one.

Re: The Spellbook of Mesmerize

@japes , @A3n , any idea what we're going with here? Personally, I'd like to go back to the old Mordo image, but I'm not sure what we're doing.

~Lazy Orang, noting that, once the art for this, Enchant and the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak is sorted, we can finally release the spell set!

I'm leaning towards LD's choice and going back to original

I still don't like the original. A). it was clearly Mordo. B). it didn't convey mesmerising.

1) I quite like it being Mordo - the spell was designed for him and I appreciate the thematic tie, and 2) the present one feels much less mesmerising to me - it just looks like a creepy old guy with a weird eye.

1) It's supposed to be generic not thematically tied to any character. If it was that important for the character then it should be on his card. 2) in it's current state I can't disagree that it looks like a creepy old guy with a weird eye. But the Mordo one just looks like he has gas coming out of his eye.

A couple of other options:

Focusing on the left guy & the woman only.


Focusing on the man only. But you will need to reduce the colour palette a little to make it more like a comic/drawing.

Now that one looks cool and worth a try.

~Lazy Orang, not entirely buying that spells necessarily need to be generic and not thematically tied to any character - Crimson Bands are tied to Strange, Hellfire spells are tied to Daimon, Enchant is tied to Enchantress etc. - while other people can cast them, it's clear where the main thematic and mechanical tie is. It's a similar deal with Hypnotise and Mesmerise being tied to Mordo (who's apparently a big System of a Down fan. )
