I'm tempted, but I haven't drawn anything for a long time, and I don't feel confident of the 'clean' lines these will need. The Tiles of the Holds, on the other hand... (mwahaha)
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

@Cold Iron:
Sorry, I am no artist, the credit should go to two Hungarian ladies, whose art I upload here - I'll ask them though.

Sounds good, I'd like to try, but only in a few weeks, when I'll be back at home :D

Those look very sandman like. They're good but it might be difficult finding stuff to photomanipulate that fits the setting, do you have any stuff to use?

I tried doing this once before, and it didn't work:(

And by the way - Brood as Champion of HH Life? I don't remember that one...

Very Sandman/Hellblazer/Vertigo comics-ish. Is that Constantine in the last card?
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love.

Problem with a deck of dragons is the deck shifts between various players. I'd like to help but my style wouldn't work (way too simplistic and cartoony)

It looks too...computer animated, if that makes sense. I like the composition off the piece, but it shouts " I was done on a computer!" Better thann I could do though, good work.
