Frankly I think seeing artwork with Jace not having his hood on all the frigging time is a very nice change of pace.
You did a great job on this!
I don't know what the brief from Wizards looked like, but I'd say you captured this particular planeswalker and the blue mana in a great way. Blue mana is subtle, mind playing, controlling, fleeting, changing...
Hats off to you, sir.
The original brief for this one was based around some mystical force sweeping over Jace, hence the lack of his trademark hood, swept backwards by the aetherical gale infusing him with knowledge. Somewhere in the process of approvals and finishing, the thing drifted away from the "blow dryer in your face" into what finally made onto the card.
I guess that at some point they decided that he should be more in control. After all it is called Jace's Ingenuity and draws cards. So that "sweeping over" idea would go more with a pile of cards thrown at you
