@emilysmith3594 6 лет назад

First time I saw Archfiend of Ifnir, I was freaked out and couldn’t understand exactly why. This composition analysis did an excellent job of explaining it, right down to “this isn’t how MtG Demon creatures usually look.”

@RhysticStudies 6 лет назад

a couple of quick notes: • I apologize, Canadians! I showed an image of a map of Labrador instead of Newfoundland (and after reading that the latter was an island, I thought it looked strange). Thanks for correcting me! • Geoffrey Palmer (@livingcardsmtg) provided the animation for Eidolon of Blossoms at 4:43. Follow his work and reach out: he's one of the best folks in the community and is so talented with his craft.

@gregheffly No, he pronounced it properly, it's the pronunciation that Canadians and people from Newfoundland use. It's not pronounced 1 word at a time, like "New Found Land", it's more like Newfindlind, just as he said in the video.

I don't believe any artist has impacted me how Seb McKinnon has. My entire online presence is shaped for a character based on my love for a Shadows over Innistrad uncommon: Topplegeist. The curious, almost childlike feeling of their face and in their gesture, the light and it's importance on Innistrad.. It's beautiful and it made me really look more at art than I had before. Thank you, Sam, for making this video.

@ivorymantis1026 Год назад

I love Seb's art. Just surreal enough and looks to be ripped straight from a faerie tale. Wish I could find more MTG artists with his atmosphere.

@nichow 4 года назад

Only recently got into Magic, Seb has been the first artist who really grabbed me. As soon as I saw Deliver Unto Evil, I immediately looked up which other cards were his. It's such a unique style that stands out while still fitting so well into the tone of the game. His work on the Golgari cards is so fantastic.

@ivorymantis1026 Год назад

I love it when cards tell you what they do just from the artwork alone. MTG needs to capitalize on such principles.

This video makes me happy. I only properly got into the game recently, and Seb was the first artist whose work caught my attention enough for me to actually make of point of investigating them further (the specific card was Soulherder btw).
