[IL] Christopher Rush Style (Magic: The Gathering's Black Lotus, Lightning Bolt, etc.)

Christopher Rush was one of the original artists for Magic: The Gathering, and provided the illustration for some of the game’s most iconic cards including Black Lotus, Lightning Bolt, Junun Efreet, Ihsan’s Shade, Tormod’s Crypt, and Chronatog. He also worked on the design for the game’s card back and mana symbols. He died in 2016 at the age of 50.

To see all my LoRAs and all the example images, please (temporarily) disable X and XXX visibility, otherwise a lot will be hidden at the whims of credit card companies. You can help support making models like this by posting stuff you've made with it to the gallery using the "add post" button, that helps me earn back the training cost at no cost to you.

Trigger: S_O_C_R
Common: [color] background
Not trained with but may help: acrylic paint (medium), traditional media
Negative: signature, simple background (if desired)
Checkpoint: ??? (recommendations very welcome. I'm not familiar with checkpoints to use for "non-anime" traditional media.). Perhaps Nova Comic XL?

Made with 101 MtG card arts by him pre-Fifth Dawn (his style changed enough with the new frames I excluded the newer stuff that wasn't reusing or playing off old art), plus the promo Mewtwo card by him. If someone can point me to pictures of his non-MtG art (aside from that one Mewtwo card) I'd love to have it for a v2.

I’ve long held that style parody is one of the most fun uses of text to image software, but I don’t really see the point of making styles for single active independent artists since you could (hypothetically) still commission them, which takes a big enough layer out of the “joke” of having “foreign” characters drawn in their style. As Christopher Rush is unfortunately deceased and will not be posting new work, and his style is so iconic of early Magic: The Gathering I feel there’s more of a “point” to this one.
