Lord Xander, The Collector - MTG Fanart / Recreation
I was asked for this by one of my students who has a Xander commander deck, and I was happy to take on the challenge! 50ish hours of work in total later, and this is the final result!

Glass border - this is my favourite because it matches the stained glass window theme and also shows the rest of the cape behind.
Black border - the chosen commission version for the custom card sleeves. The black border stays true to the original card design.
Original background photo from Pexels.com - modified in the final artwork with blue gradient and radial blur for the lit-up effect.
