Where to buy Altered Art Cards?
Economics forum

Love Kalonian Hydra , hate the artwork. Would love to get a custom or altered version for my deck. Ebay doesn't have any, is there a website that sells custom cards or does alterations per request?

I can upload a couple that I've done recently, but I really don't do alters outside of for my friends really, so it's not like I have a blog set up. Just a second, I'll upload a couple.

I'm just letting you know, they're not that good.

I'm looking for something a little bit more professional looking, that being said I think those are awesome. The first one is my favorite.

If you live near a comic book shop, the owner(s) likely know a handful of local artists who would be willing to do one for you for free/cheap.
That's how I wound up with this baby:
It ain't perfect, but for $5, I'll take it.

Yeah I know -- I only just started altering cards, but I've been painting on canvas for years. It's really hard to blend this shit on such a confined space lol

Mtg Alters By Tila look pretty good and they have a facebook page. They post up a bunch of their alters and have monthly drawings for altered cards and other prizes.

I'm on MTG Alters by Tila. The admins on the page post alters frequently and I would love to get any of them. They recently held a little Christmas contest and I was one of the 15 winners. Got a nice forest and a custom life counter.

Wow the3rdH0kage, really? I haven't won one of the contests yet. Also, where do you send the cards to to get them altered? I can't find an address to mail them to. I want to get my Maelstrom Wanderer borderless but I can't do that if I can't send them it.

@ acbooster I was scrolling down my facebook wall, and I saw a post with someone wanting a Maelstrom Wanderer and I figure it is you. I almost comment on it, something like Hi Booster.

Plenty of artists will do alt-arts for you, but they'll charge you the price of the card + a fee.
I could do it for you if you don't mind me using Acryllic. The hobby paints are way too expensive for my tastes.
I'm sure there's plenty of artists on here who would do it for you as well.
