Makeshift Tokens
T-Rex! Noooooooooooo~!
As much as I wuv my Myr tokens and hope to use them tomorrow, I've been tempted to bring along my T-Rex to Magic tournaments to be used as a creature token for a while now. His mouth opens and closes, so there's an easy way to make if he's tapped or untapped, and it would be cool if he represented my Avatar should I get one out with Ajani Goldmane. So long as I didn't make an ass of myself by making it literally trample or otherwise interact with the cards themselves (i.e. nothing like what's pictured here), I don't think anyone would mind.
Sadly, there has rarely been a scenario where he'd actually work as a token. I mean, imagine if I used him to represent a Myr or a cat token. Not even his being inanimate would stop his biting me. Given that he most likely wouldn't get used and he effectively takes up more space than the box I carry cards in, I'll probably leave him behind. Or not. We'll see.
That said, what's the most interesting "token" you've ever used in a game?
Note: The above photo was carefully taken by a dude pretending he knew what he was doing. Exercise caution when taking stupid photos of your own cards, or they could easily become damaged. Thank you.

Myr Tokens!
I gave into an impulse to practice digital "painting" in photoshop that has resulted in the creation of three Myr tokens, the image for the third one pictured to the right.
Myr Token 1.0
Myr Token 2.0
Myr Token 3.0
The progression of quality (from "ew" to "I'll admit to drawing this) is the result of listening to feedback and experimenting in PhotoShop, and it's tempting to just stop everything else and keep on experimenting. I've gots comics to make, however, so that will have to wait. I am hoping to make more Myr tokens before the Scars of Mirrodin pre-release, however.
You can find all of these together and more in my Magic Cards and Tokens folder on DA. Just don't hurt me after you've seen the custom Birds of Paradise proxy.
