ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 พ.ค. 2018
- A brief video on how I alter Magic the Gathering cards, start to finish. What I used:
- Torn up cardboard box to mix colours on
- A couple small brushes from the dollar store
- Sand paper
- A cup of water
- Reeves pack of 10 colours acrylic paint tubes
The swamp is for sale/trade, message me if you're interested.
Let me know in the comments whether you found this video helpful or if you would like to see more.
Thanks for watching! - บันเทิง

"I'm not the greatest card alterer in the world.."
*proceeds to be pretty damn good*
Beautiful work.
Thank you so much!
i was about to say the same thing:) have some self confidence dude, that was amazing art! @@PieterSneep
@@Zargabas but he is honest. He is good, but there are absurd people like th-cam.com/channels/VK9rCSqMWGzG14eMcXPJUA.html that make your head spin....
Bob ross of mtg card altering
Happy painting! ;D
you mean, Magic the Altering
I was going to make a happy staircase joke but it seems that i was beaten to it.
@@disgruntledpacifist9503 Maybe I'll make a reference in my next video ;D
i possibly agree but without the soothing tones of Bob Ross if i just need to have something on to relax me while i am painting i just have his videos on in the background the only problem is you end up watching Bob do his thing rather than doing yours lol
Great tutorial dude! Only critsism I have is that I would love to see a high-res photo of the card at the end.
Agreed! I'll be doing that for my future video's :) thank you!
@EpicUndead Or the classic Old Card - transform into New Card
I have no idea why it is in my recommended right now, but I noticed that youtube throws more smaller channels at me lately.
And I must say it was enjoyable to watch this one. I will come back when my interest in magic rekindles once again.
Thank you for hanging out on the channel :)
I've started doing AltCards after watch your videos. Ty de the explanations
Happy to hear that ;D Good luck have fun :) :)
Wow, everything about this is done with so much care. From the art to the explanation to the video editing and everything in between. Very good video. You have a lot of talent.
Thank you for the kind words :) I gave it my best with the equipment I had lying around. Happy painting! :)
@@PieterSneep in the description you said the card was for sale? Has it been bought yet?
Bob Ross meets Magic. simply great
You totally painted a face into the stone and stairs! You can really tell around the 24 minute mark when you turn the card sideways. What a neat thing
You're the first person to say so ;D I'll have to check it out! :)
Wonderful artwork! And wonderful tutorial. Thanks for showing the whole process in a comprehensible speed, this really helps me with getting started in alters myself
Thank you for the kind words! Hope it helps :)
This video made me both a subscriber AND now an enthusiastic beginner alterer! Dollar Store - here I come!
So stoked to hear ;D Let me know how it goes!!
I don't play MTG, I watched like 2 vids on the subject months ago. Thanks youtube, for forcing a new expensive hobby on me.
Great work!
It's a fun game :) Thanks for hanging out on the channel!
It seems the TH-cam algorithm just picked this up as I see a lot of comments just in the past few days.
Great vid btw, I sent to a friend of mine that wants to make alters
Nice job! When you started to add torch highlights *RUINED....30 seconds later *SAVED : ) Looking to start doing this, thanks for the tips!
Glad you like the video! Hope it helps ;D
Great tutorial, the only other thing I would suggest is using a matte spray with uv protection. It will help seal your art and prevent fade over long periods of exposure. It also helps blend the painted areas with original art so make it more seamless. Light sprays, nothing too thick. I like Golden and Krylon to name a few brands.
Thank you for the tip! I've always wondered about sealing but never bothered to do so. Will check it out :)
Yes but be careful because some kind of varnish dosent work well with certain type of paint/ink. You need to test it first on something else. I once did a nice alter, then applied a varnish I had for miniatures and it ruined the painting.
You can also use matte hairspray as a cheaper option if you are low on cash! I always did that in art school :P
I attempted my first alter yesterday. It was not great. This one is awesome and I'm definitely inspired for a second attempt. Keep it up!
Thank you, glad you like it! Keep trying, my first one wasn't great either. Time and practice ;D
I might even try to follow along with this one. I did an island while my girlfriend did a Swamp so this would be a logical progression.
@@clintonharris611 Let me know how it goes if you do follow along with this one :) which island did you do? I'm curious ;D
Super awesome tutorial. I plan on doing alters in the near future so I'm watching a slew of youtube videos about it to learn first. All the videos I've seen so far are great, but yours is my favorite. I hope you do more of these videos. The outcome was beautiful and you did it without any complicated tools or materials. Stellar work my man.
Thank you! Apologies for the late reply. Have you gotten around to trying it yet? I've got a Blood Moon alter tutorial video coming up in the next couple days :)
Amazing, would love to see more.
Hopefully I'll find time to do more!
I never known this was a thing, and it's amazing
Cheers ;D
Thanks to this video I have now made it a goal to go to the dollar store and start altering my lands :) I love full arts but this way I can have a fun hobby to practice, I'd have never have figured out the sand paper bits!
Glad you found the video helpful! Good luck and let me know how it goes :)
This was so helpful, subscribed!
Definitely do more. You did a awesome job!
Just amazing job, I'd actually love to see more!
Thank you! Just uploaded a new video! Check it out :) th-cam.com/video/3mvM3LLchdg/w-d-xo.html
Thats how a full art should look like nice job!
Thank you! ;D
Great video, good explanations and an awesome looking card at the end of the process.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Amazing Video! You've definitely inspired me and my friends to give this a try!
Let me know how it goes ;D
great vid what i liked the most believe it or not was your choice of materials there are so many youtubers intent on convincing people that they have to use expensive brushes and paints when its really more about the artist/painter. while i would say having good quality paints and brushes can when you have the experience make things a bit easier they are not magic and dont give the user talent if they haven't got it and you sir have got talent though i would suggest perhaps to save some time at the end masking the section you dont want paint on would be an option.
Beautiful alteration man
Thank you!
I've no idea how I ended up here, but it's easily one of the best videos I've seen
Love it!
I'll be watching your videos.
Greetings from México.
Awesome! Glad you like it :) Greetings from a Dutchman in Japan!

Yo, absolutely marvelous! I just found a new hobby! Keep up the good work! :D

Subscribed. You're awesome dude. Holy crap. Beautiful work.
Thanks so much for the subscribe and kind words!
I hope you have more of these videos planned. When I checked your channel I was shocked to find that this was your first. good job.
Thank you! I'm usually pretty busy but I'm hoping to squeeze in another one next week :)
awesome work!
Thank you!
nice piece of art
Thanks so much ;D
Comments section in a nutshell:
"Sell me some plz??"
"-says he's not good
-is good"
"Make more of these"
damn that's some good reception from the public nice man
Yea it seems to be blowing up and I am very very happy about it! Thank you for hanging out on the channel :)
turned out amazing!
Thank you! You too ;D
My question is why aren't lands made like this to begin with.. so much prettier
I know right! I'll tackle em one at a time :)
Costs more. They have a strict release schedule and now that Hasbro owns it, they are more about getting the product out based on the quarter release each part of the year.
@@joshshin6819 lol my dude it was a rhetorical question. You reading into it to much
I don't like running full arts in my deck, they stand out as bad as white borders.
@@joshshin6819 Are you implying making artwork that's twice as large takes twice as long?
Great video :O Definitely do more of these :) Great alter
Thank you ;D
There needs to be more video's like this
I'll try to make some more :)
Totally agree!
Great video @Pieter Sneep
My girlfriend is always doing art and i never have a project to work on, maybe ill give this a go, great video
I hope you give it a go! Let me know how it turns out :)
would love to see more of your work.
Thanks so much! I just uploaded a new video altering a full art Blood Moon. Please check it out if you like :) th-cam.com/video/3mvM3LLchdg/w-d-xo.html
Really cool and insightfull. I might give it a try :)
Glad you like it! Good luck ;D
Great video, keep it up, thanks!
Thank you! Will do ;D
honestly really great video great alter great talent. I will show this to my father who teaches art at school maybe he can do a project ;)
That would be awesome ;D
Dude nice work
Cheers ;D

Glad to hear :)
WTF dude! Awesome artwork!
Thank you brother ;D
Damn impressive, i wish i had talent like this!
Thank you! I'm sure you do! ;D
Just practice!
You are a master at colours
Thank you for the kind words ;D And thanks for hanging out on the channel!
@@PieterSneep been non stop watching your masterpieces! keep up the good work :)

Liked and subscribed from Brazil !
Yeehaww thank you so much! Greetings from a Dutchman in Japan :)
Dude that's a pretty good alter
Thanks so much!
pretty sick art work dude. i would love to have a play set of altered lands for my decks
Thank you!
Awesome!!!! Greetings from Peru.
I'd love to see a mountain alter!
Thank you ;D Greetings from the Netherlands! Could do a mountain sometime :)
Great tutorial!
I would definitely recommend a light spray of 'clear coat' to protect the paint from flaking off (y)
Thanks so much! I will be doing that in the future for sure :)
this was awesome
Thank you ;D
Just... WOW
Yewyewyew!
Amazing!!!!
Thank you! So are you ;D
Great video got my sub :P
Very cool
Cheers! You too :)
impressive
His voice reminds me to Noxious? I´m theonly one? Great job
Awesome !
Thank you! So are you ;D
Holly shit, those changes plus foil, mytic basic land xD
Nice. I would See more Like that.
Amazing
I gently dab every now and then too. :-P
Amazing artwork!
Haha keep it cool :)
Nice video!
Thanks :)
Please do more of these. :)
Uploading a new video in the next few days :) thanks for hanging out on the channel!
I'd so buy that...
Wow! 10/10
Thanks ;D
Very nice :)
Cheers :) So are you!
Great job there. You should do more, and add a side by side comparison at the end. Do you seal these with anything?
Good idea! I'll show a before/after in the opening and ending of the video next time. I don't seal them, but maybe I should :o
great,
Thanks : )
So the acrylic is the best paint for magic cards ? Or it there other possibilities ? Very cool vid anyway :)
+Pieter Sneep - Just came across your Channel. Good Stuff Dude Keep it up & I look forward to more Videos.
Thank you! Working on a new video, should be up in a couple days :)
Thank you for the tutorial. May I suggest, however, please use a lighting source from above to reduce shadows and bring clarity to actually what you are doing. When you are working such dark colours, it is really hard to process. Thank you.
Thank you for the feedback! The video can be a bit too shadowy indeed. For the newer video's i made sure i had a bigger window with more light, and some more zooming as well. It's more challenging than i originally anticipated to show everything! But with feedback improvement will follow. Thank you ;D
Hi dude, i'm in love with your art. If someone wants 5 or more swamps like this one, how much should he pay you?
this is a damn cool idea. i should mess with some cards of mine. i'm going to link you if i get the time to get myself doing a speedpaint or smth. :D
Yes please ;D Curious to see them!
i love it plz show more like tokens or something
thx share
hey man, look up wet pallet. it's basically a sheet of water absorbing and retaining material like sponge or toilet paper, with a layer of baking parchment(the white one) over it, in a tray.
keeps your paints wet for a much longer time, even when uncovered!
Thanks so much for the tip! I will have to check that out :)
@@PieterSneep th-cam.com/video/96mjmqWTPfM/w-d-xo.html
Sick.
Cheers ;D stay healthy in 2020!
This is amazing, I would love to see more of these alters, is this swamp by anychance for sale :)
Thanks so much :) Yes I could be willing to part with this swamp. Can I e-mail or message you somewhere?
Insane
Thank you!
Loved the vid man! Any chance you do commissions? I would love a mountain that you made.
Thanks so much! I'm a bit hesitant when it comes to commissions as I prefer to only do lands and landscape looking art! But feel free to message me your ideas and see what we can do :) piet@psneep.nl!
Love it, turned out gorgeous, full painting would be great. wouldn't u love a full art cards edition, not talking about masters (last one) I mean only the art... I think ppl would buy it, at least the most iconic cards the "master" master cards from the master edition (thats a lot of master :D )
You are the master master ;D
Yah lol sorry about that
Where are the little happy trees?
I'll do a forest sometime ;D
Rembember to add: "There are no mistakes, we just have happy accidents" :D
They had the life drained from them
Gentle dabs!
We dont do mistake, just a little happy accidents.
Never mistakes ;D
how much approximately does a piece like this usually go for? it would be a cool addition to have a framed set of basic lands done like this for my nerd cave
Thank you for your interest! Unfortunately it's something I can not discuss in the youtube comments. Feel free to email me at piet@psneep.nl and I'll get back to you!
Good lord I need to try this- although I kinda know what a horrible mess i'll do lmao -
My best would be like around 13:00
This is awesome. I wonder how you would handle a foil card.
Oof I'm not sure if I can make the paint look foil-y! But maybe with the right tools and mediums...
@@PieterSneep I know some cards ink can be removed with acetone to leave just the foil behind. If anyone could do it, you probably could lol.
