It’s Zach here. Now I’m a decent artist, I can draw some pictures but nothing fancy like well….this:

We were looking for an image to put onto the sidebar/header. We couldn’t find anything anywere to put on and then it hit me… Why not let a fan make make the image? I mean if we let them make it creativly or even better competitivly we will see the true colors of artists and Magic the Gathering fans.

So thus a competitition was born!

To take part all you have to do is draw a picture and scan it! (unless you made it on the computor!) Then send it to:

czmtgblog@gmail.com

Just a couple of rules of course:

1) Remember copyrights!

2)Must be 800 by 800!

3)Must have to do with magic

Optionals:

1)Name it! (or else we will)

2)Dragonguardian or something to do with it might give an edge…

No matter how good you are at drawing sumit a picture! What harm can come out of it?

And remember Calvin and I are not going to look for one and put it up thats for you fans to decide! Were going to put a poll up and you can look at the entries and vote on a poll.

Thanks for enterting and thanks for reading we’ll injoy looking at your entre will evryone alse!

–This contest will end at March 1st–

The website might have experienced some downtime yesterday, and the post I wrote yesterday definatly disappeared. This is because www.dragonguardian.com is now on a new server. This server is better than the old server because it is deticated. I don’t have a low bandwidth cap like I did on the old server. The bad part about that is that there was some downtime yesterday, which is no big deal. The good part is that now I can post the previews as they come out again. Conflux was the first time I previewed cards by releasing the downloadable file, and becasue it was previews month there was a large spike in visitors. Becasue of that, I used much more bandwidth space than I had. Before the switch, I wouldn’t have tried that again. Now I know how much bandwidth it takes, and I have that much, so I can keep giving you the up to date file for Alara Reborn as the information gets updated. (I have already prepared the file in MSE. I will be ready to start adding in cards as soon as previews start.) Posting should return to its normal rate right away with an update on Duel Decks: Divine vs. Demonic. This post is also kind of a test post. I’m not sure if images will work or not, so I’m going to try to post some images and see if it works. If not, I’ll have to fix that.

From my home computer:

This didn’t work. WordPress is unable to download images from my computer for some reason. This could cause a problem, but I can still post about the duel decks, becasue that will be an image from a website.
