Tough choice but I'll go with the dark side of dimension one as my top pick. In reality all of them are phenomenal and deserve to be in the number one spot anyway
Art wise, I agree with the lost art promo being number 1. Its just so well drawn, and the most anatomically correct. The coloring is so nice too. The 3rd one is probably my favorite though - it's super Kawaii.
Personally, #6 is my favorite. It was the promo of one of the 2005 tins, and was the first Dark Magician Girl I ever owned, and so there's a nostalgic bias I still own that DMG to this day, in fact. Second favorite is the KAZ Art, though.
Same, literally the same, except it was more like 17 years ago for me. Remember being confused why it wasn’t what I saw in the anime, and didn’t understand that alternate artwork was a thing.
I'm between 3 & 1. Three tells the Story that DMG went on to have Apprentices for herself after her master Died since if you put them all together it makes a Canvas and also pays homage to Magical Girl Anime. One is in the 10th Anniversary Duel Art Book that I still have.
#4, #5 #3 and #2 are all taken from scenes of Dark Magician Girl in the manga. 3 has a full body version, but is zoomed in. #2 is the exact same image, except redrawn for Rush Duels, then brought over to Yu-Gi-Oh!. So, in a way, these are all drawn by Kazuki Takahashi. And yes, her knees are like that in the manga panel.
I thought her bending her knees were the best one I guess she looked the best but the second one was really good. I'd never seen that artwork before I think that 1 might be the best, but you gotta love the OG
Number 1 on your list is a close second to number 5 for me. Though the DSOD art is the 1 i prefer in magician girls due to the aesthetic matching the rest of the deck better
Not DMG itself, but wish Magi Magi Magician would come to TCG already... It's such a fantastic artwork and kills me to know it's because of an Ankh that no one cares about anymore
My personal fave is Magician’s force, followed by duelist pack Yugi, and then the pharaoh’s tin. Magician’s force is pure nostalgia and I enjoyed duelist pack yugi’s dmg for the reasons mentioned. I like the pharaoh’s tin as i feel it poses her as an imposing force. Felt the lost art was way too provocative for dmg. Dark side of the dimensions and the collector’s tin feel kind of boring to me. It I’d just flirty girl poses.
They're all great. I'm still annoyed they won't release magi magi magician gal in the west. Their reasoning is stupid and I applaud the artist for refusing to allow it to be changed
She's the one that awakened many of us. As an upcoming little artist, she's probably the first H-drawing in my notebook. Which i tried to hide under my door mat. Which im sure my parents had most probably discovered but never mentioned it.
Rush Duel Dark Magician girl is nice it's like the original artwork but also her body and the colors are brighter In a video game the Dark Duel Stories Dark Magician Girl is nice due to the alternative color
Such a pervert…. Calling a drawing cute like she’s a real person like something is wrong with people today. And clearly then… I’m so glad I wasn’t this nerdy
