Have an idea for a custom MTG proxy design, Commander deck theme, token set or fantasy card concept? Send it to Pixelteca and tell us what you are building.
You do not need to have every detail figured out before reaching out. A rough idea is enough. The more context you share, the easier it is to shape the design direction and reduce back-and-forth.
Start A Custom MTG Proxy Design
Pixelteca works on custom art and design concepts for Magic players, collectors, casual playgroups, artists and tabletop creators.
Common project types include:

The goal is to make your design feel personal, readable and connected to the deck or idea behind it.
What To Include In Your Message
Please include as many of these details as you can.
Card Name Or Commander
Tell us the card name, commander or main card involved in the project.
Examples:
- “I want a custom version of my commander.”
- “I need tokens for my Chatterfang deck.”
- “I’m building a vampire-themed Commander deck.”
- “I want a full-art version of this favorite card.”
Deck Theme
Describe the deck or idea behind the project.
Helpful details include:
- tribe or creature type
- color identity
- strategy
- mood
- character inspiration
- inside joke
- favorite visual references
- whether the deck is serious, funny, dark, cute, retro or chaotic
The deck theme helps us make the design feel like it belongs.
Colors
Tell us the deck colors or preferred palette.
You can describe this in Magic terms or visual terms:
- mono-black graveyard
- blue-red spells
- green-white tokens
- dark purple and gold
- swampy horror colors
- warm desert tones
- bright arcade/pixel colors
- classic fantasy painting colors
Preferred Art Style
Share any style direction you already have in mind.
Examples:
- dark fantasy
- painterly fantasy
- pixel art
- retro video game
- comic-inspired
- clean and minimal
- gothic
- cute
- horror
- anime-inspired
- old-school fantasy
- surreal
- high-detail illustration
If you do not know the style yet, describe the feeling you want instead.
Number Of Cards Or Tokens
Let us know the scope of the project.
Examples:
- one custom commander
- one commander plus matching tokens
- five custom basic lands
- a Treasure, Food and Clue token set
- a full Commander deck theme
- a cube concept
- a small gift set for a Magic player
This helps us understand the size and structure of the request.
Print Or Digital Use
Tell us how you plan to use the design.
Examples:
- personal digital concept
- print-ready file
- casual tabletop use
- display piece
- gift
- deck theme inspiration
- token or land set
- cube or playtest project
Print use matters because printed cards need extra attention to readability, contrast and sizing.
Inspiration Links Or References
If you have references, send them.
Helpful references can include:
- art styles you like
- cards with a mood you like
- color palettes
- character references
- decklists
- existing token examples
- fantasy art references
- screenshots or sketches
- Pinterest boards or mood boards
You do not need perfect references. Even a few rough examples can help.
Deadline
If timing matters, tell us the deadline.
Examples:
- birthday gift
- event date
- Commander night
- convention
- personal project timeline
- no rush
We cannot evaluate timing without knowing the project size, but deadlines help us understand the request.

Not Sure What You Want Yet?
That is normal.
Many custom design projects start with a loose idea:
- “I want my commander to feel more legendary.”
- “My tokens do not match the deck.”
- “I want a darker version of this deck.”
- “I want the whole deck to feel like a retro video game.”
- “I need a gift for someone who loves Magic.”
- “I want custom lands that match my commander.”
Send the rough idea and we can help shape it into a clearer visual direction.
Before You Send
A few quick notes help the process go smoother:
- Include the card name or commander if there is one.
- Tell us the deck theme or mood.
- Share the number of cards, tokens or lands involved.
- Mention whether the design needs to be print-ready.
- Send references if you have them.
- Include a deadline if timing matters.
The more context you include upfront, the fewer follow-up questions we need to ask.
