    I've studied illjustration for 3 years and Fine Arts for 4, and I wish I could have know about this videos by then, because this tramples every art history or art theory lesson I've had in those combined 7 years. Congratulations for this quality content, and thank you so much.

    • @tillholder2400
      @tillholder2400 6 лет назад +8

      Well... I think the thing is about studying art is that the REALLY skilled artists hardly ever teach. You have lots of these types of artists that went like 30% of the way and got good enough to impress the universities and schools, therefore getting jobs as teachers and instructors.

    • @purklefluff
      @purklefluff 6 лет назад +9

      art lecturers (university level) are required to be practicing artists with their own research/exhibition schedules. Besides, it's possible to be a great artist and not want to live your life on a commission basis and want a salary. =)

    This was a really cool video. Art, history, and magic. Very well put together. The editing style is really cool. The way you transition through the art is really creative. As an editing junkie I absolutely love this video. This is really good stuff man.

    @jackkensik7002 7 лет назад +235

    WOW that's really what makes you one of the best creators in the whole community, the in depth analysis of art I'd otherwise view as good makes it great and gives a more personal feel to each card once you know the artist. Great content keep it up :D

    Karl Kopinski is one of my favorite artists of all time (especially his drawings). Thank you for taking the time to take a deep dive into his work and sharing it among the masses!
    I don't know if you take requests, but hopefully we'll get to see Jaime Jones, Wesley Burt, Peter Mohrbacher, or even Allen Williams sometime in the future!
    Even then, there's still many, many great mtg artists and it would take forever to get to all of them.
    Anyway, keep up the good work!

    • @RhysticStudies
      @RhysticStudies  7 лет назад +5

    Mardu Heartpiercer is exactly the piece that got me looking into Karl's art, and I loved it.
    I got a foil version of it for none other reason then simply to collect it. Of all the artwork in KTK, I love mardu heart piercer the most, maybe the entire block of tarkir...

Magic art is beautiful and these are a very talented bunch of people we have creating it for us. Thanks for highlighting them and their work.

    Sam! Brilliant presentation and analysis! Presentations like these make you really appreciate the art within MTG. Some of us don't really give the art a second look as we don't know what to look for. However, now at least I can look at a Karl Kopinski piece and really appreciate it. Thank you!

  • @darkscion1
    @darkscion1 7 лет назад +3

    Your videos have really made me appreciate the art on Magic cards once again. It was the reason back in the mid nineties that got me interested in the game in the first place.
    I am still on kind of a hiatus from Magic and haven't really played since Khans was released. I honestly didn't think much of the set at first, I don't know if I was burned out at the time, was let down in some ways or had my expectations way too high. I think I was hoping for another major game changer like Shards of Alara was. (The new enemy wedge tri-lands was what I was psyched most for at the time.)
    Since I discovered your channel, I went back and started building EDH decks again and my friend wants to go back to 60 card "kitchen table" magic where anything pretty much goes. I have added disdainful stroke, mastery of the unseen and collateral into these decks since you made me give Khans block another look. Thank you for rekindling my love of the game. Can't wait for the next video dude!

    • @RhysticStudies
      @RhysticStudies  7 лет назад +1

  • @TheOmegaSkater
    @TheOmegaSkater 6 лет назад

    Great analysis of what makes Kopinskis artstyle so good. Cards like Elvish Archdruid, Chord of Calling or Krenko really speak to me and i often find my self using/liking cards that Karl Kopinski has done the art for ^^ Cards like Bloodchinrager, War Flare or Mardu Heartpiercer just illustrate the nature of the Mardu so well

    Another fantastic profile Sam! I LOVE the new art on Chord of Calling and now I know a lot more about the artist that brought it to me. I Love Karl's Ravnica goblins. There's something almost charismatic about their comically large noses profiled so prominently.

    • @RhysticStudies
      @RhysticStudies  7 лет назад +1

      his goblins are one of a kind. dem noses!

    • @simongunkel7457
      @simongunkel7457 7 лет назад +1

      To some degree it's showing his background as a GW artist. The Warhammer Gobbos and 40k grots got really big noses about the time he started working there (Brian Nelson was the sculptor who really made that the GW style of gobbos and he started in 1995, but with the usual run ups to production the first big wave of new style greenskins hit just when Karl got hired in 1997. The previous iteration by Kev Adams and Colin Dixon had more diminutive noses).

    • @obeycelestia
      @obeycelestia 7 лет назад

      That's a very interesting observation! I'm not really familiar with 40K but that sounds like a plausible explanation for the stylistic choice.

    Thank you for helping people realize that so much of the art created today is comparable or better than the stuff you'd see in a museum in Europe that's been there for 500 years. A lot of it is a thousand times better, and because we see so much of it now it's like we're immune and so it doesn't get the proper recognition.

    @Dimysam 6 лет назад

    I have never thought how magic opens the world for such amazing art, even though I have always loved the artwork of the game.
    I mean, nowadays we have photography, so portraits are not so relevant as they were before. But then we add this fantasy themes and there are whole new situations and people to paint that are impossible to catch with a camera.

  • @ThePeteriarchy
    @ThePeteriarchy 6 лет назад

    I'm not very familiar with a lot of things about MTG apart from what I learn from my brother who's been in love with the game for decades. I never knew Kopinski made such great art for MTG, and I've followed his work, especially his historical sketches with great line work for a while now. It's nice to see a fantastical side to his art in a franchise someone near to me values.

  • @Iamnothereijustsee
