I figured the sketch version of the card could take advantage of the opportunity to make a 1/1 Cleric to work thematically with Deathpact Angel.
The artwork is a version I created for the workshop the original photos came from.
Here's a bit of trivia when looking at paintings of people. People painted from life generally are not in motion or in a dramatic pose. Even a smile can become difficult. Just try to smile for even 30 minutes. Gesture drawing is where one can really capture that drama in a very short amount of time. When I would have my models pose in semi-difficult poses we would take a lot of breaks. I've suspended props from the ceiling so the weight would not become a burden for models.
It's been a long time since I've been working with models in a studio setting and I miss it dearly.
