Rescently a friend of mine mentioned why didn't I work in there. I really liked the idea, and I think I might make some nice bucks with it.
For the time being I'm not selling these, or making them through commissions, since I'm not sure how much to charge them yet, but would anyone be interested?
They are done with acrylics and some waterproof black markers 0w0
PS: sorry for the crappiness of the photo >w<

From what I can tell, this is really good, and I've seen quite a few cards. It might be the photo not getting the full vividness of the details, but if these are your first go, they're delightful.
As far as I can tell from the photo, on the Drifting Shade you did well on the hardest part about altering MTG cards: bending your work over the boarder. Quite often, it's too easy to see the square of original art when it's just painted up to or if the paint's too thick around there.
As for pricing, just hit up eBay looking for "Altered Art" and you can get a general idea. The more popular the card is, the higher they'll go for as there's more interest. Some people have issues spending $5 on a $0.05 card to make it look better, go figure.
How much time did you spend on these?
Someday I'm gonna find more money to throw at a card altering artist again.

I'd certainly be interested, too - these look excellent and I've got a couple of decks that could use some good alters. As far as price, for work like this I'd certainly expect to pay on the order of $15-20/card for a custom alter, possibly a little more depending on the difficulty of the work.
That River Boa, incidentally, is especially brilliant - gorgeous work all around!
