Pour réaliser l'illustration de la carte
Elves of Deep Shadow,
Jesper Myrfors a pris comme modèle l'artiste
Amber Bird, une de ses amies. Elle a fondé le groupe de post-punk/post-glam
Varnish.
Q: A reliable source told me that the artwork for the original Elves of Deep Shadow by Jesper Myrfors was based on a real woman that he knew. Many players regard Myrfors' Elves of Deep Shadow to be an iconic beauty in the game of Magic, so, if this is true, could you find a photograph of this woman and share it with us?

A: From Monty Ashley, Magic Web Team:
Well, Jesper isn't here anymore. But you're in luck, because I happen to know that the model for Elves of Deep Shadow was my pal Amber. Observe!
Amber Bird is...A writer, a rockstar, and a sci-fi simulacrum...The author of the Peaceforger books (gripping near-future sci-fi), a published poet, the front of post-punk/post-glam band Varnish, and half of transatlantic Autistic musical duo The Companions...An Autistic introvert, an idealist, a geek, and a dreamer who was (and still is) saved by others' art and is trying to return the favor...A lapsed actor and, yes, the model for that Magic card.
