L'illustration originale de Forrest Imel pour la version Buy-a-box de la carte Solemn Simulacrum, de l'édition Foundations, était une réinterprétation de celle de la carte Solemn Simulacrum originale basée sur sa ressemblance à Jens Thorén (voir cette anecdote), en guise d'hommage et qui pouvait être vue comme un vieil ami qu'on retrouve après avoir traversé des épreuves.
WotC lui a cependant demandé de la modifier car elle était trop proche de l'originale. Il s'agit désormais d'un robot émergeant d'une arche ornée de l'histoire de l'invasion phyrexiane et de l'ouverture du Multivers : on peut par exemple y voir la scène de Elspeth's Smite.

I'm the artist for the new Solemn card and just thought I'd share some behind the scenes stuff with everyone here because I think it's interesting!
So, fun fact about my Solemn Simulacrum Image for Magic, I initially pitched it as being a recreation of the original card based on Jens Thoren likeness as an homage. I knew only a little about the Foundations set, but from the little I was told I took it as a new beginning for Magic. I wanted to represent the aftermath of the Phyrexian invasion and the opening of the multiverse and how we got here. Since Solemn was from original Mirrodin, I felt it was fitting to have our now justifiably sad robot emerge from an archway adorned with the story.
I wanted the image to feel like a breath of fresh air after a major catastrophe, like meeting an old friend, but under sad circumstances. I wanted it to be an image that represented magic's changes, but also its origins, since foundations sounded like the set to do that
After my painting was sent, it was requested that I change it as it was too close in likeness to the original. And I couldn't help but chuckle at that. In a very meta way, Wizards asking me to change this homage into something else felt like it fit this story even more. Just a story of an old friend being turned into a robot.
