TheMagicManSam i dont know if it wasnt creatively satisfying for you bit i miss curving out
where do you get all the art in good quality is there a specific website?
At 4:33 what is the title of the book?
Stunning. Thank you for this video. Kopinski's work is just amazing.
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.
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.
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. =)
Ancient aliens
it's because he is providing easy answers and interpretations instead of teaching you to do the same.
Hold on, are you David Bibián?
Absolutely fantastic. Brilliant video from a fantastic series :)
My man sam!
What was the book you were browsing? I apologize if you have already answered elsewhere.
it was Spectrum 22. You can find it on Amazon for a reasonable price!
@@RhysticStudies just what i was looking for! Thank you!
you actually say it in the video, but i didnt realise that was the name of the book.
💖
You overlooked a massively fun detail:
That the model for Liliana Vess is Karl Kopinski's wife!
I'd love to know how she feels about that
Good, she should feel very good!👍🏾
Proud
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.
Wow this dude is amazing
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
this is exactly the goal! thank you.
No problem keep up the good work
@javier pessina who tf are you? xD make your own videos then
I can't believe I'd never recognised that he was the same guy that did some of my favourite Warhammer art.
Me too but I the reverse I knew him from WH and never realised he did that Liliana piece. He also did Zombicide.
6:35
Hey the Ottomans and the Mongols were totally different empires.
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!
I'm glad you enjoyed! and you're right: it may take a few years to knock out all the big names, and even after that, a hundred will be left to cover.
Never heard waterloo described as a skirmish haha
this whole series is probably the most quality MTG content on RUclips. Such a pleasure to watch, it highlights one of my personal favorite aspects of the game. keep up the grand work, Sam!
The Duke of Wellington isn't just depicted in a cloak, he actually wore that cloak during the battle. Both commanders could be recognised on the field because of their distinct clothing styles.
I am always excited to see these videos in my feed. I wish I could get a new one daily! But if that was the case we'd lose the quality and spirit in these videos that I love.
yep. "art takes time," as they say.
How about Rob Alexander or Johannes Voss in some future video? :)
I second the Johannes Voss request - Gift of Orzhova might be my favorite MtG piece ever.
Damn, I was wondering where I had seen his face so clearly before. Turns out it was in the art of Ultimate Price! Great video Sam!
Love this series, really hope there is more to come!
most definitely.
Damn you shine such a beautiful light in these arts! I'm thankful for that. Keep up this good work!
Ilya Kuvshinov and Sakimichan dislike this video.
This video is an instant favorite. Thank you so very much for making it, and about one of my favorite artists.
:)
How about a spotlight on John Avon? His lands are some of the most beautiful in all of Magic. I have a particular fondness for his Kamigawa lands, they just look so nice.

Those are some of my favorite warhammer pieces, it's super cool to learn of his other work
I don't get the digital hate, all mediums have their pros and cons, not one is better than any of the others, and most importantly great art is great art.
You should just make a series like this about artists you love. Not just magic artists but those you just truly find amazing, I think it’ll help the artist and the people get inform cause god damn you’re good with drawing people in
Please keep up the good work. There is so much more to MTG other than the competitive play and secondary market. Your videos allow us to appreciate each and every card better.
My only complain is that you need to churn out more vids!
Amazing series. I've watched all of the episodes several times and learned alot. As an aspiring artist myself, the analysis you do in this videos is an inspiration in and on itself. Excelent job and thank you very much for doing it.
Amazing and informative as always. Absolutely love this series. If you haven't seen them all, definitely go back and watch them or if you have, rewatch them.
high five, Drew.
Just found this vid
And i ll do
I love Karl's work. One of my favorite pieces is one of Austrian soldiers marching into battle during the Napoleonic wars.
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...
This was surprisingly pleasant. Thank you! :)
I'm glad you were pleasantly surprised.
he taught himself how to paint?! (also he seems to be a lefty, they are supposed to be very artistic when they put themselves to it)
Damn it's Sam
damn, it's also Sam
Sam's gone ham on the Sam-fam epigram tram.
Such an amazing analysis! I absolutely love this series.
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!
this is so cool. thank you for sharing. I'm stoked I could help you see the game in a different light!
This series makes me pay a lot more attention to the art of the cards and game I love. Thanks for doing what you do Sam.
This video was awesome. Your breakdown of Karl’s work was spot on and insightful. I’m excited to check out more of your content!
idont know why but the moment he "said how you paint war" I just pressed like
hi sam, i'm pretty sure Dragonlord Atarka was traditional, cause there's a for sale post in a group on facebook a while back.
Great videos and better info. Thank you for giving me MtG material to watch with my wife.
well here is a subscriber for ya, keep up the great work!
I Love the work of Kopinski... since my GW days.
Great video bro. Just subscribed
another amazing work. you definitely found a niche and you are great at it.
Has anyone ever told you that you have a crazy resemblance to Idubbbz?
haha, I think it came up once before. I can see it!
you know, Sam, I gotta say, I am REALLY loving your videos as of late! Keep up the amazing work!
nice. thanks!
theere is something of frazetta in his artwork
A lot I would say
Karl is amazing. He knows where to render detail to create good areas of interest for the eye. He's only second to Gi in terms of raw draftsmanship
Haven't played MTG in years. Still subbed for the relaxing voice and trip down memory lane. Quite a talented orator.
Awesome video! I recently built a Krenko EDH deck and am loving it! Now I can admire the art from a deeper perspective
Notification Squad!
Dope video man, love your content
Another amazing artwork is aether vial by karl kopinski. It completely captures my imagination!
I'm still pretty new to MtG but I loved the art for Rabid Bite so much that I looked up the artist's name. I'm glad I did, all that art was gorgeous.
Amazing work Sam. Karl is my favourite magic artist, met him at GP London and he couldn't be a nicer guy.
Really love these videos. I like magic for it's strategy and from the perspective of a game, but what truly makes me love it is the world-building. The lore, the flavor text, and the top notch artwork has a place close to my heart.
Always a great day when I see your videos up, my man! You continue to be a huge inspiration to me.
so great to hear that. thank you!
Sam, your videos are fantastic!!! Keep up the good (or amazing) work!
beautiful, I'm falling more in love with your content. It really highlights what I love about magic, it's the worlds and the flavour... not just how expensive your deck is.
Kopinski is my art father.
Great video
It change my perspective about "a moment"
By the way is this proko sound?
I thoroughly enjoyed this video and I subscribed. I think today is the first time I have seen your channel. And I look forward to watching more!
Just finished watching all of this artist spotlight series (i think) and it's been amazing. The flow is perfect and certainly feel like I've learnt quite a lot about art in general. 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.
20 seconds in and I'm thinking - Damn, didn't know I signed up for a history lesson. ; p
fuck man you are amazing
Man your channel is quickly becoming one of my favourites.
Sweet video as usual! I would love to see a video about Mark Tedin's art. My favorite classic magic artist.
Your observations are fascinating to listen to. Great insight!
So well done. Very happy we have someone to guide us through the amazing art in our game.
Such a fabulous portfolio. I can not believe was so much depth to the cards i loved so much
That moment where, in order to do art in a subversive manner, you need to go to a more traditional form of art, as opposed to the mainstream abstract art
I find this interesting. Karl isnt the first artist Ive heard of who had to teach himself or move schools because there was too much focus on abstract art and not enough of the artistic fundamentals. Cesar santos comes to mind. Could it be that, in an effort to teach students how to be expressive, art educators have strayed from the things that make a good artist? I am interested in art as a career, but I wouldnt want to go to an art college to be taught nonsense. Is this a real problem, or have I not seen the whole picture
The way you show us Magic: the Gathering art is art itself. Awesome content as always.

Some of my favourites that you haven't coveted yet.
My requests would be Howard Lyon, Raymond Swanland, Daarken, Jason Chan, Zoltan Boros & Gabor Sziskzai, Kekai Kotaki, and Magali Villanueve for now. That should keep you busy for awhile :)
I never understood why do you always conflate Mongolians and Ottomans: two completely different nations. I'd understand Mongolians and Chinese (as Kublai Khan was Mongolian). But Ottomans came after the European conquest of the Mongolians, after they have retreated back to the Uralian steppes. The height of the Mongolian Empire was in the XII-XIII. century, the Rum Sultanate (the Ottoman turks) didn't become organised til the XIV. (after the Mongolians left the region).
Love these! Excited for Paolo Parente, Daren Bader and rk post. Keep up the great work.
I didn't realize the video was literally about THE MAGIC card game until the actual cards came out...
But cool video nevertheless. I'm a Warhammer 40k fan myself and I hope you have a video about it in your channel.
For future reference, Nottingham is pronounced Not-in-um. Just say it like you'd say the word Nottinum :)
The -ing-ham is an ancient suffix that denotes certain village types, same as -ing-ton like Wellington (wellintun) you can slap a -shire (sheer) on the end for more of the countryside :)
I live in Nottingham, Ima find that dude and buy a picture ofa him :-]
Same!
Google Karl Kopinski, he has an on-line shop. He cycles a lot on the A6097
6:21 just a little FYI, with Mongolian you probably mean Mongolian elite cavalry Keshik who fought horseback with arrows. Seconds later you mention them as Ottoman Turks, however, those two empires are not the same and probably no real relation exists other than racial origins. As far as I know, there is no cavalry unit of the ottomans using a bow and a horse. Ottoman elite cavalry was Sipahi's and all depictions I could find indicate they primarily used spears. Although neither units probably used an armor like depicted by Kopinski I also think this is mostly reminiscent of Mongol Keshiks because of the bow design and the background.

Wait, hold on, what? Plate armor and leather armor for 19th century soldiers? By the late 19th century, didnt the major powers of the world have the precursor to the machine gun already? And steam power and warships and baloons and early cars? The industrial revolution. I mean maybe Japan was still medieval before they stopped being so Isolated and opened up to the world and became a power themselves.
I'm glad I'm not the only one left out of an Art Conservatory for my hatred towards abstract 5 year-older "art" and love for realism :( they broke my heart but they didn't cut my wings, at least I'm not alone
I was surprised to hear that, my wife did an art degree and I had the impression that they accepted that the student will have his or her own style. No?
Fantastic
Wow, neat work indeed.
Slave of Bolas? Well, you don´t want to sell that card in countries where people speak spanish,
for your sake, you better change that title, trust me LOL
I played that game once....I loved those drawings...but didn't know who did that... thanks for this video
For me I `m really shocked, how much talent and hard scrupulous work is wasted in these suicide, killing and disgusting finghting scenes... I understand, it is a money job to work on the purchased criminal program to grow up next assassins from our own human children, but how much better and greater could be to see really beautiful, balanced and spiritually oriented art of this guy!
Damn - this is great! These artist spotlights make me appreciate the art of this game so much more. Keep them up!!!
Here's the original of Dragonlord Atarka: facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10154888463308874&set=gm.1910583285838548&type=3
Fantástico!
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!
awesome. this is great to hear! thank you.
Would you do a video on Raymond Swanland? I fell in love with his work for novels, and was delighted when I discovered he did magic cards as well. However, I know you've noted on the similarities between his style and that of other MtG artists in the past. What is your opinion of old Swannie?
he is on the list.
I like his drawing of the dude with the chain sword. Kinda hard to find high quality versions of it. But if you do look at the face and teeth of the man.
Absolute savage
I literally found out about kopinski today after falling down an illustrator rabbit hole, and then this pops in my feed. I guess I wasn't far off when I thought his drawing looked reminiscent of some Warhammer stuff
imagine a fascist professor who only wants abstract, I don't really get abstract, seems lazy to me
Reading the title I didn't realize it would be about Magic the Gathering hahaha
One of my favorites little touches in kopenskis work is on krenko mob boss. If you follow the direction his finger is pointing, you realize he's pointing at the artists signature at the bottom of the piece!
I got into this guys work from my love of Warhammer 40,000 artwork. Brilliant talent
His work reminds me of Ilya Repin's
