Igor Kieryluk is probably best known for his Magic: the Gathering art, and that is going to be the main focus here too. His art manages to combine darkness and bright colours in a way that always makes me look twice at the cards he illustrates.
This phyrexian creation works to punish your opponents for playing creatures. The colours its in (white) usually rewards you for doing the same thing, so this was an interesting twist. The sinew and porcelain art is suitably horrifying.
No darkness in this illustration of one of Zendikar’s guardian angels.
I’m not hugely familiar with this member of Warhammer’s vampiric von Carstein family, but I do like this art!
If this art seems confusing, simply tilt your head (or lese flip the art 180 degrees) to gain a fuller understanding.
This version of Serra Avatar was released as a promo card to tie in with a version of Duels of the Planeswalkers. That’s an old mtg videogame that is no longer supported, but we still have this art, which is nice.
You can see more at Igor Kieryluk’s ArtStation page, and also his page on the Original Magic Art store.
I like these. Quite a contrast in pics. The first one is excellent. I’m also not familiar with that von Carstein (though I will be googling it now 😁)

It wasn’t a name I recognised either, but I must admit I didn’t pay much attention to either 8th edition or End Times, so she could be from there.

Nothing pops up in the google search bar the picture and your post, so it might just be a random association. I’ve been planning on re-reading the vampire wars shortly and that is the other likely source if she exists

It was the artist’s title for the piece, and I have known those to be wrong before
