Hecatomb (1994)

5 1/2" x 7" watercolor on board

Hecatomb was painted for the Ice Age expansion set of the collectible card game Magic: The Gathering.

In the original version of Hecatomb the priestess was topless (though with strategically placed hair...) and with blood dripping from the blades, the art director sent it back and said "less nudity and less blood please!" Shown here is the repainted version. I don't have a copy of the original...
