Goldstarknight's (Pixel) Art

Just wanted to say that I am very glad to know my message was received and sparked such joy; never feel bad about ranting about the Dusk lads, I am happy and eager to read the opinions of others. Especially from another Mavren appreciator. I don't know why I gravitated to him so hard aside from his debut in The Flood being just so strangely funny. He crashed a massive ship and wound up actually succeeding in recovering Elenda. Wild.

I am also incredibly interested in the geo-politicking of Torrezon that both Pawns and the Planeswalker Guide has set up. It's actually a bit of the staging ground for a Pathfinder campaign I'm running in Ixalan.

Also, your Vito portrait looks amazing. I was also happy to see him as the antagonist of LCI and I am still a bit miffed that he wasn't in the commander deck nor do we really see him in his demon form aside from the art on Huatli's Final Strike. The art we have with him looking like a dance instructor holding Bartolomé's corpse is great, but it still feels like a bit of a missed opportunity. Same as having Vona given a card in paper since Elenda just got one in Foundations in addition to her Alchemy card on arena. And Mavren should have one as Pontifex [rip him, he's probably drowning in work while trying to sort the church.]

Anyway. My own rambling aside, well met fellow Dusk Legion enjoyer.

Yesssss! You get it!! It's great to know that there's someone else out there who shares my enthusiasm for the Legion! :DD

I've been wanting to run a campaign on Ixalan myself for a long time as well. Hope yours turns out great! :)

Vito was such an unrepentantly evil character. I love him and I hope Vona can fill his role as the main LoD antagonist, although she seems less motivated by religious fanaticism than by conquest. Perhaps we could still get a card of demon Vito in a Modern Horizons set or something similar?

I'm pretty sure Mavren and Vona will get new cards once we return to Ixalan, if the story follows through with the setup. Unfortunately WotC is in the habit of killing off all my favourite characters (Dovin Baan, Tamiyo, the Praetors), so I fear they both might die. :,)

Meet Victor in our occult narrative strategy game The Matter of Being and influence his fate as a spirit from another world!

Vito Quijano de Pasamonte (2023)

Prompted by the ask from two days ago, I was looking through my old files and realized that I never posted this portrait of Vito here. O.o"

Still very happy with how the colours turned out in this one. :)

STATIC DUSK Battle Backgrounds (2025/2026)

It's slowly coming together. :)

I may have said this before -- and I apologize if I have -- but I wanted to say I appreciate your Legion of Dusk doodles. I was not expecting anyone else to know that Mavren Fein or Vona were even characters (let alone that Mavren is now clashing with Vona since that was sort of a footnote in the LCI story) for the longest time, and I have been delighted to know someone else with great artistic tact decided to depict them. I also reference your "We will make our own church, with sacrifices and bat demons!" sketch often when I pilot my Vito, Fanatic of Aclazotz deck. And I have also pointed to your art when I explained a bit of the dichotomy between how each side of the schism views things since it's succinct and also humorous. (Of course with all due requisite credit, which is also why I am sending this)

Anyway. Ramblings about old works aside, I know you are doing far more than just these little fan works, but I just wanted you to know they are appreciated alongside the rest of your vast and varied portfolio. You are a fantastically brilliant pixel artist -- and artist in general, obviously -- and I thought I'd just send this message along.

Oh my god!! This is so sweet!! Thank you so much for telling me!! Your message genuinely made my day!! :,D

I'm so incredibly glad to know that those sketches resonated with someone! Vona and Mavren were my favourite part of the original Ixalan story. I wish they had gotten more screen time, because I think they had a really fun dynamic that could either have been played for laughs or explored seriously. The Legion of Dusk is my favourite part of Ixalan in general and I think it's awesome that we're getting into what seems to be geopolitics there in the future. At least that's what the story 'Pawns' from LCI seems to be setting up.

Loved that Vito got to be the main antagonist of LCI, but I'm a bit sad that he got killed off. Happy to see that Vona, Mavren and Elenda are still around though. Especially Mavren. I'm not 100% sure what it is about him, but I really like him and I'm glad he got to ride a dinosaur during the Phyrexian invasion. :]

(I'm glad Amalia is around as well, although she seems more interested in hanging out with Kellan than getting involved in the politics of Ixalan.)

I'll stop myself from rambling here, haha. Thanks for giving me an excuse to do so! ^^

Also thanks for the compliments! Always feels good to hear that people enjoy what I make. I'd love to do some more Legion of Dusk art (or just MtG art in general) in the future. The new announcements for the coming sets have reinvigorated my interest in the game a lot. :)
