Worse yet, when you say "freelance "Graphics Illustrator", and one of the
companies you mention is WOTC, then you could be talking about one of the
hundreds of artists that work for (or have worked for) WOTC. That's not
exactly a reliable source.

Some of these artists are rather grumpy with WOTC since they changed their
policy toward the artists and how they pay them.

Plus... Few of the artists are really "in the know", if any. They're just
slags who turn in some art to the top brass, sometimes with only "We need a
picture of an Ork with a Chainsaw" as their guide. They don't even know
what the card is gonna be half the time...

Oh well.. I'll take this with a grain of salt until it can be confirmed or
denied. And you may want to consider backing your source up with tad more
info... Unamed sources tend to be rather unbelieveable...
