if you filmed yourself painting these proxies ala Bob Ross I know there is an audience for that.

I trace a token for the shape on printer paper then draw the proxy so it can sit in front of an actual card without permanently changing the card but your technique is nice too

amazing art, awesome story .

16:00 The lens effect is CRAZY!!! I thought they are real ones!!! PFIUUUUU!!!

your proxies are simply gorgeous and their vibes... immaculate! i've been meaning to use paint for my proxies but the thought of painting something from scratch has always daunted me. now with this, i can finally use my untouched art supplies! thank you so much!

Bruder, deine Proxies sind wundschön. so oft vergessen wir das kreativität die komplexeste art von intelligenz ist.

I absolutely love the idea of turning a game into a portable version like this! I will definitely be doing something like this.

Oh damn I didnt know you made Ritual28 :-O

Bill sent me.

I enjoyed the background music

awesome

Awesome! The art is what originally made me play MTG but the modern art, although good, just doesn't hit the same. This is a great way to get some of that back and also to make lands more interesting

what type of white paint do you use? your coverage is so much better than what i can manage!

I would watch you do an entire MegaMan/grim dark miniature series. I want to see some robot masters that have this style. I think you should name this one Grind Man.

Hello Ben, thank you for this video. The way you talk and how you make it look almost like a therapy sold it to me, and now I have a bunch of art books and magazines. Would you mind giving more info on the paints you use? I'm from Brazil so I'll need to find some similar national products.

Behold, the meatball men

That demonic tutor goes hard ❤

Was wondering what kind of printer you use if ya don't mind me asking

This was an experience to watch , amazing job and inspiring man

It was not what I expected but they actually look pretty nice!!! Thanks for sharing Ben

this is amazing, thank you so much for sharing. i really love the cards you have made

cat

They are all so well made

That's a very cool approach to proxies. I happened upon your video and channel altogether while looking into the process of creating proxies for the first time, and while I don't think I'll ever do this approach (I usually avoid even just alternate art versions of cards), what you're doing there looks absolutely gorgeous. Übrigens, Grüße aus Berlin nach Berlin.

Absolutely love this. A brilliant way to personalise proxies, I’m definitely giving it a go!

love this

Absolutely beautiful. Bosch is a great choice!

I feel you man. I started playing as a teenager and now as I’m turning 25 and growing up, it really hurts to work for 2 days, use all of the money I made to buy a deck on top of the time between those shifts actually putting the list together and optimizing it. I’ve just couldn’t justify my longevity in the hobby until I discovered my printer is actually amazing. Photo paper cards work so good and dare I say more enjoyable. I’d rather spend just a few hours doing it myself. Much more rewarding. Plus you still get to play the cards!

There's a few card design sites out there where you can make your own cards by either copying the actual art or uploading your own. I've made my own tokens this way. I plan to make some playable joke cards for friends this Christmas by taking actual cards / text / costs and renaming them with new art. Like take counterspell, rename it "oh no you don't" and adding my own art for it. Cool thing is, if you get enough proxies, you can actually have a company that prints playing cards print them for you. Not as cheap as using a printer but better quality. Proxy is a great way to go to see what kind of a difference adding a spendy card will make in a deck or even if you want to play but don't want to fork out the cash.

This earned my sub. Nice video

Love them. The narration is really pleasant.thank you

Wow I got into proxing tokens because I am not super good at painting and I needed some tokens for a couple decks so I figured it would be a good stress free way to get into it. That being said cutting out pictures from books is a really cool idea. Certainly tons of historical things that would work great as mtg cards and same goes for even fantasy books. This is such a cool idea I think I might take the 4-5 books I have already and make a whole deck out of them. Thanks for the amazing vid.

Finally got around to watching this! Absolutely gorgeous cards, love the process! Guess I'll be on the lookout for some art books to cut up!

Love it! Looks great:)

This is sick! Personally I was thinking of using my own photography with polaroid shots, but that gets expensive very quickly. I told myself if I do that then I gotta proxy cards upwards of $5 value each. Love your way that involves no electricity! Just old school arts and crafts.

i am now gonna force my friends to play proxy magic soon

I don't give a fuck about what people say about proxies I'll always use them.

Gorgeous work!!!

You just popped up on my feed and I too have developed a love/hate relationship with magic! I’d been thinking about how to go about proxying and this has given me some great ideas!

I'm not a fan of defacing books, but otherwise this is very inspiring. I might try this with magazines.

This is incredible!

Seriously some of the coolest proxies I've ever seen :)

love your energy🤭 this video gives me early youtube days feelings

Over time, doesn't the glue start to make the card crooked?

This was a chill video to watch

I knew I was going to enjoy this video before I even pressed play, boy I wasn't disappointed!

Das hast du richtig, richtig gut erklärt und dargestellt! Weiter so, bleib kreativ und fröhlich 😊

This is a new video, but it feels made for me... I opened my youtube page to a video called "how to quit Magic" and two videos below is yours here! All those overpriced rectangles are leaving soon, so this is inspirational for me as I make copies of my overpriced game pieces
