was there no credits text written at the start or end of the new CARD GAME ART WORKS book?

@JanjoZone 4 месяца назад

Nothing :(@@raseruuu3742

It's so sad that konami never really gave us the artists names, they clearly deserve to be known for their work

@JanjoZone 4 месяца назад

1000%!

@ReligionsFakten 4 месяца назад

It should at least be possible to find out which artworks belong together and are probably drawn by one artist.

If I recall correctly, Konami has had strict NDAs like this for 40+ years. In the 80s, they did this so other companies couldn't snatch up their programmers that worked on Castlevania and things like that. I guess they just carried that over to the card game because they thought other companies would offer their artists a competitive wage. There was a huge explosion of Japanese TCGs around the time Yugioh came out such as Monster Collection, Digimon, Duel Masters, et cetera, so I could see other companies offering to hire the Yugioh artists.

@JanjoZone 4 месяца назад

Makes sense!

@Chiffonaise 4 месяца назад

It might be partially true, but ironically Konami is seemingly the one paying the competitive wage. It seems that with Yu-Gi-Oh!, Konami appears to hires full-time artists for the game (indicated by job listings). There is a possibility that the majority (though not all) of the artwork for the game is done by a handful of the same in-house artists. I think it kind of makes sense since even though there are thousands of YGO cards, there have only been a handful of cards ever to be suspected to be drawn by a well known artist. It's a fairly unusual practice though, as in the TCG industry, art is near universally commissioned by freelance artists, and due to the lack of exclusivity contracts, many TCGs share the same artists. Ironically since they are employees Konami likely pays them better than the average Japanese TCG company does.

@Baron_of_Wastes 4 месяца назад

@@ChiffonaiseThat's a very good point. I imagine that many wouldn't put up with Konami's policies if the payment wasn't good, but I actually had no idea that the duties were so different for that company over others. Or at least, I knew that people like Naoki Saito were allowed to work on multiple different games at once, but I had just assumed it was something like them not having exclusive contracts if they worked for a specific company rather than it really just being freelance work.

@Chiffonaise 4 месяца назад

@@Baron_of_Wastes Yeah, it's a different situation from talent poaching. Other TCGs already share many of the same artists who not only work on competing TCGs, but other mediums entirely from book covers to gacha games. When Magic started hiring Japanese artists for their anime-style cards they contacted artists who worked on other Japanese TCGs and it wasn't a problem.

@duane_313 4 месяца назад

“Magic the gathering goes to Egypt and then goes to hell” YES!!!! Thank you for his description. That is exactly why I love and prefer the old school yugioh sets art 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

@NecromancyForKids 4 месяца назад

It truly is unfortunate that we won't ever know who many of these artists were. It would be nice to be able to thank them for their efforts and their contribution to our love and enjoyment of Yu-Gi-Oh!

@JanjoZone 4 месяца назад

I would hope they all know all the people that appreciate their work!

@jaredwilliams1031 4 месяца назад

I admire whoever drew Harpy Ladies and Summoned Skull. It's this crazy, dark, semi-digital that's really missing from the gane today. Very unique to a time and place.

I will not rest until i figure out who drew the Live Twins and whether or not they also designed Dr. Mad Love.

@GoldStorm07 4 месяца назад

This is absolutely one aspect in which Yu-Gi-Oh loses out to Magic and Pokemon, Konami doesn't value their artists no matter how much work they give to the company. The big coffee table artbook, Art of the Cards, doesn't even have high-res artwork for the cards since they're both bad at archiving and didn't reach out to the artists for the better versions they'd keep with them. Not even for the mascot cards like Pot of Greed and Blue-Eyes, the artists of which would no doubt get big followings from series fans.

@JanjoZone 4 месяца назад

Absolutely!

@GleamingGarmore 4 месяца назад

Shame you didnt mention that Ito went on to create the original manga for Cardfight Vanguard. Dude’s got a lot of card game art credits under his belt

@AshRaf-to5gu 4 месяца назад

Shame on Konami for not crediting the artists. Its such a shame that the artists don't get the recognition they deserve.

@JanjoZone 4 месяца назад

Absolutely!

@4x_AE 4 месяца назад

The GX manga artist is a yugiboomer?!

@traplover6357 4 месяца назад

Ik for most modern art, the OCG got a Card Game Art Works book but the art is accredited to the names of studios doing the design. So rip those whose contribution is nameless.

@jacobh1833 4 месяца назад

I really do like the yugioh artists back in the day. The artist behind the charmer cards are my favorites.

@JanjoZone 4 месяца назад

A lot of great art!

@mikehawk8984 3 месяца назад

It's always been one of my biggest gripes with YuGiOh without getting into the intricacies of the modern game. I've always loved being able to look at Magic cards and being able to go enjoy their other art

@lanceb557 4 месяца назад

Well at least Konami is paying their artists well! Still would be cool to see more recognition to the artists names! Nice Vid man, you earned a sub

@JanjoZone 4 месяца назад

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you enjoy the other videos on the channel!

@dylanogg347 Месяц назад

If I remember right, Masahiro Hikokubo drew up most of the designs for cards introduced in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Manga. He wrote about how bummed he was that some of the Monsters he designed were only seen in Card Form, in Volume 2.

@failbro23 4 месяца назад

Yea my main complaint with todays card art is it has to much going on in the background and to much dynamic clothing and armor it makes it hard to know what youre looking and appreciate the monster itself. And alot of the cards use the same artstlye and artwork alot of lolita and dragon looking cards.

@aldairmartinez3839 4 месяца назад

I feel the same way, I would love to know who designed some of my favorite cards, it's a shame we may never know.

@A88mph 4 месяца назад

Taro WAS released in the TCG in the 10th anniversary pack. But that was its ONLY printing here. I ran 2 in my deck around Edison format as extra Marshmallons.

@JanjoZone 4 месяца назад

Yeah some of the examples were TCG released cards. I meant more as in releasing ALL of them

@Circ00mspice 4 месяца назад

Can someone write down the names of the Yugioh artists because they weren't listed in the video nor its description

@JanjoZone 4 месяца назад

Kazuki Takahashi, Akina Fujiwara, Akira Ito, Naoyuki Kageyama, GENZOMAN

@smokeedinero 4 месяца назад

Dope idea and I haven't seen anyone really talk about this but the early artwork is wat drew me to the game and anime 20 plus years ago!

@JanjoZone 4 месяца назад

That's why I wanted to talk about it!

@elcheshireilustracion9396 4 месяца назад

It's really crazy that you can't find the artists names anywhere in any Konami product. Really the only way to know any is if you happen to recognize the art, or follow them in social media and they mention it. I had no idea about the crazy Konami NDAs. Yet another reason to hate that company.

@JanjoZone 4 месяца назад

Yeah at this point it's just unfortunate

@j0j0dartiste21 4 месяца назад

I've been reading the Yu-Gi-Oh mangas and one of my favorite things to do is to find the source for some of the card art. It's pretty sad that's the closest you can get to attribution though.

@JanjoZone 4 месяца назад

It's at least something!

@Roddan96 4 месяца назад

@wazzledog1007 4 месяца назад

It's sad that artists won't be able to display their yugioh illustration in their professional portfolios. Not that card art is likely to be their best work, but I imagine it's a significant part of many of the artist's lives.

@JustLikeTheSimulations 4 месяца назад

I’ve always thought the monster cards looked better back in the day, but I’m definitely biased 😅 It’s too bad the old/new artists don’t get credit. They deserve it & I’m sure designing for Yugioh isn’t easy.

@laby1827 4 месяца назад

I'm so sad that I can't know who drew the card I know and love. Plus it would be good for Konami because it would make people buy the card drawn from their favorite artists, so in a way this wouldn't be bad for sales

@JanjoZone 4 месяца назад

It would be nice!

@-nn-3886 4 месяца назад

Thank you for the video. I always thought about this "Who make the art of this card?!" Is a no answered question that makes me sad. Likes many cards are obviously make it by the same artist ,, but I would never know who's that artist. Like I wanted to know The responsible for the art of the madolche card, The Heavenly Prison z how many artist were involve in the creation of the dogmatica/branded/Bystial cards and their similars

@JanjoZone 4 месяца назад

A lot are unaccounted for!

@samwoolcock9336 4 месяца назад

Believe in the art of the cards

@JanjoZone 4 месяца назад

For sure!

@vanesslifeygo 4 месяца назад

The real reason why Air Ness is not reprinted is probably because of the existence of a real airline called Neos Air which has a red/white color scheme like Air Hummingbird and Neos. Not a card I need to see reprinted anyways lol

@JanjoZone 4 месяца назад

No one knows the real reason. All speculation

@sillysphinx2330 4 месяца назад

I have one lead on the artist who did the ELEMENT monsters (Dinosaur, Valkyrie, Magician, etc). They might have worked on a series that came out around that time called Demon King Enma (an OVA series based on a Nagai Go manga). I can't confirm it, but some of the art/timeline adds up to when those cards were released. So it could be they moved over from Konami to work on other things revolving around Nagai Go - but I'm not certain who on staff it might have been. They could've been an intern or a director for all I know

@JanjoZone 4 месяца назад

Fascinating! Definitely worth looking into!

@maya_ktv 4 месяца назад

Até hoje não sabemos o porque do O Air Neos ser tão colocado de lado é bem triste. Gosto desse argumento ou teoria que houve algum problema com o artista da carta. 😃

@polocatfan 4 месяца назад

As Rank10YGO said, they probably aren't crediting artists so they avoid harassment and doxxing. Our community sucks and WOULD do this, so Konami is honestly probably right to.

@thedigitaldummy3098 16 дней назад

I want to imagine that’s the reason but I don’t believe Konami’s that altruistic. Considering some of the shit I’ve seen people say about Traptrix, I’m surprised no one’s gone after the artist if Konami thinks it’s that likely.
