Hello everyone,

as usual, here is my newest 'just out' CoC piece. I'm a bit late this time, sorry for the delay.

Hope you'll like it (and that the card will see play, that is like the lottery from the illustrator's side of things). Please click to see in bigger size.

Protector of Secrets

2 cost

1 Combat, 1 Arcane

2 Skill

Independent

Response: After Protector of Secrets enters play, choose a character with cost 3 or lower. That character cannot commit to story cards during this turn.

Yeah, I can see some use for it. I have to admit it is not the 'awesomesauce' that some cards obviously are, but in a Nerd/Order bounce/refresh/control deck it can be useful. Even if you dont use the text of the card, it's a decent 2 cost character.

Not quite the million dollar lottery, but a nice cash prize all the same.

Great perspective by the way. I feel like I am a little kid and he is taunting me with his keys in a game of "Keep-away". Makes me want to punch him in the knees and take his keys away from him.

(I understand his elevated position is due to him being a few steps higher than the viewer on the stairs, but I couldn't help describing my initial reaction to the art)

Thanks again for you art, Tiziano. I pick it!

Amazing

His ability may not immediately seem great but I guarantee you will see him pop up in syndication...

I would play him in a heartbeat...

I'd play him x3.

Fabulous architecture !

I love the brass keys on that blue field.

With so many keys the Order of the Silver Twilight must have

a lot of secrets to hide!

Since the 'Protector' is a non-Unique I can imagine this character

has just accepted the keys from another protector whom he is relieving.

Keep up the good work! Your fan base grows with each release.

If I ever win Worlds and have a champion card made with my image,

without a doubt I will insist on you being the artist!

I agree. There are a few really good artists for CoC, and between Henning Ludvigsen, Patrick McEvoy and Tiziano, it's a hard choice.

For me, Tiziano's contributions to the community elevate him to a higher level.

I'm rather happy with the cash prize , one of the worst things that can happen (from my side of the 'game production' work) is to be assigned a 'filler' card, one of those that rarely see play because there's always something better to put in. No matter how good the illustration may be, a forgettable card is the death for it.

Thank you so much, Hellfury for letting me know your personal reaction to the art. That's something I wonder a lot about 'Would this angle, this color scheme, this mood work for the players? Would it spark some kind of gut response or fall flat?' I can just see the scene you describe in my mind's eye.

Abdul Alhazred, marcoa.ramirez, Tokhuah, Kennon, Penfold Thank you very much, great to know.

Shub-Gyrl Thank you so much , I hope I'll never disappoint. I can only say that I always strive to do the best I can.

Hellfury, TheProfessor

Yes, great choice of perspective! So many artists draw straight-forward images, and if they try different perspectives it's because they can't draw hands and feet. It's almost like you're taunting Rob Liefeld

I initially thought the man holding the keys was an actual photograph. It's the good. Excellent. Really..I am just ..wow! I visited your "signature" and saw more of your art. AMAZING!!!
