I am making a custom {Karmic Guide}. I need some art and flavor text. Here is a link to the deck it is going into: http://imtgapp.com/forum/index.php?topic=27906.0
I reset the voting because one of the options was removed. New parameters have been set.
Backstory:
Dromar is still the commander, so it stands to reason that {Karmic Guide} is employed by him in some way, or appears to have some special reason in relation to Dromar. "The New Karmic Guide" is set to appear on {Karmic Guide} (one of the 3 art options below) and Force Field (http://i1317.photobucket.com/albums/t625/Dudecore2012/ForceField_zpsb9cadf4f.jpg). Just as the "The New Dromar" appeared on Dromar, the Banisher (http://i1317.photobucket.com/albums/t625/Dudecore2012/DromartheBanisher_zpsd9e14c31.png), Vindicate (http://i1317.photobucket.com/albums/t625/Dudecore2012/Vindicate_zps01510c1f.png) and Force of Will (http://i1317.photobucket.com/albums/t625/Dudecore2012/ForceofWill_zps8ac1e85e.png). It sort of ties the deck together and gives the characters in it some more importance.
I'd like it to be:
• Cool but not cheesy
• Relate to the deck itself, or some of the characters in it.
• Be cool like that.
✔️Winner gets their name under the artist spot, and I'll mail you a copy of the finished product.
✔️Winner of the flavor text competition for Karmic Guide can pick their art for Karmic Guide
or
✔️Winner of the flavor text competition for Karmic Guide can pick Force Field

That was a hard deduction, for real!
One of the hardest choices ever lol

I may want to turn image 4 into Force Field (http://i1317.photobucket.com/albums/t625/Dudecore2012/ForceField_zpsb9cadf4f.jpg). What'chall think?
That looks like it could work
that works, jeez the third looks so cool but the 1st one seems so right...

How do you print the cards?
Do you print them on individual blank cards? If yes how do you do that? or
Do you print them on paper and cut them out then put them in sleeves with a common or land?

If one were interested, there are plenty of YouTube videos of how to make high quality proxies. However, my methods (or lack there of?) is a trade secret. ConanEdo can let you know his findings once his Altered Dromar arrives next week or so.
This contest may be over, due to lack of enthusiasm. I believe I've written my own flavor text sufficient enough to fulfill my desires.

Awww
I thank everyone who participated. I don't know what exactly happened with this contest vs. the last one. Maybe the subject matter wasn't as interesting, or the incentives weren't as good. I will not give up hope. I shall return!
If it makes anyone feel better, I picked up the {Karmic Guide} judge foil. So no alter required.

Not really
What card would everyone like to see an alter of? What would be an interesting character to bring to life?

I don't run either of those in my EDH deck. It'd be silly of me to alter, solicite flavor text then print them for the winner.

you asked what everyone would like to see an alter of. I was just answering what I'd like to see
If I swapped the Art on Karmic Guide to Angel of Serenity, would that be sufficient? I'm desperately trying to foil out my EDH deck. I'm more then halfway done.
Its loosely based around the narrative of {Dromar, the Banisher} trying to obtain {Omniscience} after being corrupted. The white part of him trying to restore balance with the help of angels. The black making him want to seize power and destroy with {Tendrils of Agony}.
The flavor text is really the only thing that can resemble a story, and mostly it's related to Dromar himself. So I tried to incorporate a pillow fort to thematically resemble some kind of protective field to veil Dromar from aggression, so that he isn't provoked to use Tendrils.
Application of it is obviously to help me win an actual game, and then combo out. The story element is just the inevitability of the deck, once Dromar does obtain Omniscience he will use it for evil purposes. It is what fueled his journey to begin with, and the angels were wrong to believe they could convince him to let go of such power.
Pity that this thread was not in Art section...:D I would notice it earlier and possibly participate...:)
Hehe I do not do only sexy tokens you know...:P
Don't lie... The only tokens I ever see from u are sexy.

That's a serious accusation...:D what about those FF7 soldiers, Assasin's Creed Assasins, Mist Raven, cat and Centaur Token...:P
Arts was probably a better place for this. I'd commission an alter if you've got the spare time. PM me a price and what you need from me.
Dude first I will make you few drafts only send me a pm what card and how you imagine it look like...;)
