CONCEPTING Lorwyn Eclipsed
Art Direction: Deborah García & Aliana Rood
Concept Artists: Jehan Choo, Jesper Ejsing, Evyn Fong, Leon Tukker
After nearly two decades of waiting, Magic finally returned to the world of Lorwyn-Shadowmoor in 2026. The initial four sets, those of Lorwyn, Morning, Shadowmoor, and Eventide, had their fans, but for a long time the plane was seen as a ‘risky’ return due to how much pushback the conceit of a ‘sunny’ world of faeries and elves had when it was initially released. But, times change, and Magic isn’t the always-dark-and-edgy game it once was, so it was decided to revisit the world with the success of a revisit to Kamigawa a few years prior.
Elementals
Eirdu, the Sun God
“We went back and forth a lot trying to design the new gods from the plane of Lorwyn. A light and a dark entity manifesting the Lorwyn/ Shadowmoor differences. (Evyn Fong) quickly took over on the moon version and I went to work on the sun. I have always loved creatures with no eyes.” - Jesper Ejsing
After the events of the Phyrexian Invasion, some Flamekin found their heat and fire turned inwards, and thus cold- and so the Rimekin were born. - Art by Jehan Choo
Changelings
“The new Changelings for Lorwyn! One of my fav designs, I wanted it to feel seamless from the old Changelings, but a little more unified in motifs. I was aiming for an ooze texture, thankfully many of the artists caught on to that” -Jehan Choo
Various forms the changelings were able to take that kept them “looking like a changeling” and not fooling anyone, but still counting as a shapeshifter. -Concepts by Jehan Choo
Boggarts
Auntie Grubb
“Here is my favorite sketch and design from the Lorwyn Eclipsed Concept art work. I was very early on asked to take a stab at the Boggarts. the new challenge was to make them also look appealing and intelligent. Especially the Aunties - a Good Witch kind of boggart. This sketch was for me the right kind of mood. She is pouring a magical healing cup of tee and I wanted to also show a little patient and the fever-ridden frog guy was born. He later became the familiar on Grubs shoulder.” - Jesper Ejsing
ELVES
“Thought it’d be cool if the “dark” side elves got a light pastel palette, instead of the usual darker evil look. The drapery has shapes of foxglove and petals of native flowers.” -Jehan Choo
