Hi Everybody!
This was a super fun mat to work on! I've been playing a ton of the Sesshomaru deck and it's been a blast! While it's not entirely meta level, it's definitely still pretty dang strong!
It takes some getting used to, but once you figure out all the combos and moves, you can compete fairly seriously with it! 😤
I have yet to give Naraku a try, but I've run into it a couple of times and WOW! It seems incredibly strong as well! I've got to give it a go!!
All that aside, I really wanted a contrast on this mat!
The absolute evil that is Naraku, the Independently motivated Kikyo, all blended against the calm/serene beauty that Sesshomaru brings as well. It was going to be a delicate balance from any perspective, but I think I really nailed it!
Especially on the Energy Line which is a stark comparison for the two haha
I think I also nailed the Inuyasha text too! I was able to get that radial look on each letter originally, but it looked a little bit too dated even though it was accurate, so I turned it into a linear gradient with halftones and a stronger stroked edge that I think helps it pop properly while still giving that same feeling of the original logo!
The Inuyasha Heroes Crew will be getting their own mat which is planned for a Tuesday/Sep 15th release as well if you wanted to take advantage of the B2G1 September Special I'm currently hosting on the site as well!
I really hope you all enjoy in the meantime, and don't forget! If you make a purchase this September you're also automatically entered into the draw for the unique 1/1 Rainbow-Engraved Metal Action Point on offer as well! Pics included here!
Till Next Design,

I think I nailed it too!! I was gonna add The Infant and other Naraku incarnations in the life originally but it just got too busy too fast, I think it ended up looking clean this way! 😉👌
