I need some googling help.

Hey, my friends. I've been searching the internet for some information about a character/picture and coming up empty-handed.

I'm looking for a few things specifically, such as artist confirmation, better resolution, full art copy, the original print, or any information about the image.

http://wiki.mtgsalvation.com/article/Belbe is the only [cropped] image I can find outside of the book cover and in the best/largest resolution.

Here is the http://www.amazon.com/dp/0786915595/ref=rdr_ext_tmb on Amazon. Click "look inside" and go to the back cover for the image.

Ideally, I'd like to find a nice full size picture of the full image so that I can order a print of it. Next best thing is to just know more about it and/or find a small picture of the full art. I'd also like to know who painted it. I know Mark Zug painted the front cover image of the book but I don't see the image on the back cover on his http://markzug.com/ So I'm still looking for confirmation on that.

Do you have the book? Send the book author an email. Ask nicely and he could probably give you the information you need. He might even know of source of an already printed one.

You could also send Zug an email and ask him, he probably has the full size image, and may know of one already printed.

Checking around, I couldn't find any alternate names or anything so I ASSUME the maker of that pic is the one who did the cover art too.

Yeah, I'll just have to make that assumption and go with CCNA's advice.

Any luck finding any other prints floating around online?

Nope, I did a reverse image search and it always pulls up the, more or less, same sized print of that picture.

Are you looking for art from the book?

I googled the illustrator and found a bunch of things he has done.

https://www.google.com/search?q=mark+zug+art&espv=210&es_sm=122&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=fcd9UonyOu-yygGztoCYAQ&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ&biw=1536&bih=741

This is specific to Magic The Gathering.

If you look at the back cover art on the book in the link I posted, you'll see that the other picture on the character profile wiki link is a cropped version of the print in higher quality than the one on the back cover of the book.

I'm looking for an even better quality image, or an image of the full print. None of your links included the picture.

I see, do you know the name of that weird looking guy on the picture too? Maybe his name would give you a better result.

Edit: The best I could find is someone's fan art, and it doesn't look that good. http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs43/i/2009/069/9/e/MTG_Belbe_and_Ertai_by_megamyke.jpg

What would svck is if he did this like a Bob Ross painting, in a circle. http://paintingsforsale.me/paintings/bob-ross/bob-ross-oval-barn-86109.html

Note, I am not saying he used the same techniques, just the circle part.
