I'm still waiting on Rob Alexander.
What is the last card you show. And also great video, you introduced me to what is now my favourite mtg artist.
But I already did :( do rebecca guay
This was awesome. Is there any chance you'll do one on the art of Phil Foglio? I know it's a little outside of the range of normal magic art, but that's why I think it'd be great.
Could you do Adam Paquette, please?
"Hey Seb, can you show me the value in protecting the innocent?"
"Hey Seb, you know the tinge of sadness that haunts a sunny Saturday afternoon?"
"Hey Seb, show me regret."
"Hey Seb, play Despacito?"
Truly mastery of his form
Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeb!
"Hey Seb, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?"
@@KMn048 gladiator movies?
Seb is hands-down my favorite artist in Mtg. His style is imaginative, haunting, and instantly recognizable.
If they ever make a live action Dark Souls film, they should get this guy to direct it.
You literally read my mind.
The silent and stoic chrarcter at the beginning definately reminds me of darksouls.
William Merrill
He would harmonize quite well with the dark tones and abstract world of dark souls
the one at 3:41 instantly reminded me of bloodborne.
When the video started I honestly thought that was an ad for a dark game
Truly amazing work. Just...wow.
ain't he good?
History made and told, two distinct and awesome arts.
@TheManaSource I want you to know I read that in your voice XD
oh wow. seeing that archfiend is the first time ive ever considered buying a card just for for the art. i think im a fan of this guy
I feel you. Not about the first time thing though, I don't even want to know how many cards (especially very bad ones) I purchased just for the art! :)
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.”
A tarot deck made by these guy would be breath-taking
so true
Seb Mckinnon is what got me into mtg, I took one look at his Order of Midnight and I was sold.
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.
Eh, close enough. XD
I enjoy how you loved your own comment.
You also mispronounced it. New found land like 3 words. String them together shouldn't sound like new Finland
@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.
CanadianBaconPwnage dude. I live here. I grew up in mount pearl
Soulherder is by far my favorite piece of his. I would love to hang it in my home.
He's got another Kickstarter going, soulherder is among the playmats available!
@@samuelirwin4880 thanks Samuel i got there thanks to you 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
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.
Artists like this is one of the many reasons why Magic: the Gathering is still a leading force in card games both digital and physical! Great work Seb McKinnon, and absolutely superb video, Sam!
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.
i feel like his mythos paintings from ikoria really capture the sort of tribal people's style of depicting these god like beings, my favorite is either that set of images or prismatic piper. because he's just a creepy lil' guy of elemental chaos.
Goddamn Seb, goddamn…
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.
I love it when cards tell you what they do just from the artwork alone.
MTG needs to capitalize on such principles.
Well, I guess I know why I'll be making dinner 15 minutes late!
MTG Muddstah Well I guess I'll be sleeping 15 minutes later! (It's 1 AM)
MTG Muddstah if you don't make your dinner before 15 minutes the nutrients in the ingredients are legally allowed to leave.
**Overused Joke Intensifies**
Yehia Falcon dang you beat me to it
*14:58
Gabriel Häggebrink guess the nutrients aren't going to leave.
Seb is easily one of the best current artists in Magic right now. He's consistently knocked it out of the park with every single artwork he's done. I'm super excited to see what he does for Throne of Eldraine
The fact that his artwork for Stasis and Cuombajj Witches aren't on actual cards saddens me greatly. I would get them in foil almost immediately.
Old stasis > any other magic art
@@r.r.theninja6812 >Diabolic Vision has entered the chat.
They have now been printed in an actual set.
May have taken a few years but it's finally printed.
@@Kohdok Good to see you here, Kohdok!
Very powerful intro, and great video as always :)
One of my favorite artits I feel deserve their own video is Igor Kieryluk, he truely brings the mystery to New Phyrexia
This channel makes me feel what really is “PLAYING MAGIC”
I was just about to ask about the music... I can't believe that Seb made it. He is truly, amazingly creative
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). Pretty cool seeing all these other people in the comments with similar experiences.
The absolute artistry that is this video man. Like jesus, you hit every. Single. Pieces. I truly admire you man, thank you for this beautiful information and inspiration
"Because of his ability to turn the macabre into something beautiful" Very enlightening line, awesome video as always.
Not gonna lie, Seb's gotta be one of absolute favourite artists EVER, not just in MTG, and hearing that things like Essence Flux and Deathsprout are digital just makes me want to work harder at my own digital art!
this didn't age well
@@z1p632 Oof, yeah...
@@Skullgrin. what happened?
@@rico9163 McKinnon turned out to be an anti-masker jerk who sided with a bunch of looneys a while back. It was really disheartening...
@@rico9163 People in the internet, blowing things out of proportion, as usual.
your videos are among the few that I leave my computer feeling that I did not just waste time on youtube thank you
I never realized the artist for all my favorite cards was... one artist. Seriously, these are like all my favorite cards for their art. He's really fucking talented!
I wasn't even aware that many of my favorite MTG artworks were all by him; amazing artist indeed, and great video analysis.
Ah, March 32nd. Here at last!
Simply stellar man.... The flavor he manifests is the reason I still remember random cards like "debt to the deathless" ..... If I had any true talent in concept art, his style would be the closest that I'd be replicating....
Came back to your channel today and also revisited Seb's gallery. His render of damnation as a close representation of judgement day is one worthy addition. Yet he knocks the ball completely out of the park with Soulherder. That image is something else - and I love it.
Seb McKinnon's art is AMAZING! One of my favorite MTG artists of all time. :)
Wasn't a fan of Seb HOLY FUDGE AM I NOW i hope he does a green or blue colored playmat AWSOME VID
You mean like a... Growth Spiral?

Yet another fantastic video. Thank you
stunning work as always RS
Man this art is amazing, thanks for showcasing it in a way that really does it justice.
The card that the last showcased art belongs to is "Dirge of the Dead", from Masters 25.
I was really looking forward to another episode of this series! Awesome!
Beautiful breakdown. Thank you
This is one of the best. Totally awesome stuff. Its interesting how I can overlook an artist so easily... and then feel like a total idiot when you bring it to my attention. Thanks for that Sam.
Seb’s work is incredible. Some of these are pieces that have absolutely hunted me.
I hadn’t dug into his work yet but I will absolutely do so. Truly inspiring and brilliantly done.
Amazing as always. These videos really help me appreciate the art of Magic cards way more than I already do. Thank you for taking the time to do these.
I absolutely love your work - kudos man.
Some of your best work. Thank you.
I love this series!! I learn so much about a game I adore so highly every time I watch you :)
this is my favorite magic artist, love his style
Absolutely beautiful video. Thanks for all you do.
Amazing. Thank you for that awesome video.
Seb's art gives me chills. His art brings this game to life and is a big reason I play it.
Archfiend of Ifnir has been one of my favorite cards from the past year or so and after seeing the detailed art with your observations Ive gained a new appreciation for the card and Sebs art as a whole
Love this video! Really enjoyed going back through your back catalogue
Your videos are always amazing. I love watching them!
Thank you so much for making this. I'm not an art person but your videos help me appreciate and understand the art. So thank you so much for this series. Keep up the awesome work
Haven't watched it yet but I can tell it'd be worthwhile.
Thanks for the effort put in these vids, love the crisp editing and the insight you give us about these great artists!
The symmetry in his work creates so much room for symbolism, almost like a medieval diagram or tapestry - much more than a cinematic snapshot of what is happening in the fantasy world
This was amazing, thank you for putting in all the work to share this so effectively.
I feel bad that I never realized some of my favorite cards were made by the same artist.
Edit: my favorite is the Pale Rider of Trostrad.
So good
I didn’t realize how much I liked his art
Archfiend has to be my favorite
Please keep doing these videos! I’ve watched all of them and can’t get enough
As always, excellent video sir!!!! Can't wait for the next one!!!!
Great essay as always Sam. His work reminds me a lot of Stephen Kasner, who I have always wished was a Magic artist. Keep up the great work.
Stasis (the depiction of the young girl surrounded by stone soldiers) is jaw dropping. Wow. Just wow.
Some of McKinnon art I recognized, but I can't believe how much of his work I've overlooked.
Excellent video as always. Love this series and love this channel. Keep it up!
This one got me really emotional.
Outstanding work, both you and Seb.
Just keeps getting better, Thanks Sam.
A wonderfull video about one of my favorit artist 😃
That was such an amazing video.
Seb Mckinnon is one of those artist that you've seen many times on magic cards where you go like "oh thats actually a pretty good artwork. I wonder who made it.. Seb Mckinnon? i wonder what else he made?" And then 75 pieces later and 2 hours of net searching you're still in awe.
And this video gave me that experince with him. I love to discover magic art and art with you. Thank you.
I always love your videos. I get excited any time I get a notification for a new one!
Your uploads are always so damn amazing, keep it up man.
11:11 I just had this deep emotional respond to your description of the arch fiend,
some kind of sorrow
I came from Austin
Same
Great video as always
This video was just brilliant. So inspiring.
Didn't even watch yet, liked anyway. Thank you Sam for covering my favorite MTG artist. Happy Easter!
Keep making your videos. They are all fantastic.
You deserve more recognition! Love your work, and your passion! Keep it going
Soulherder is one of my favorites.
When I saw the title of the video, I asked myself... who? I have not been putting enough attention to his art. But I remember when I first saw his art for Entomb, and I decided I needed it for my Meren deck. I love so many of his pieces, but until now, I did not make a connection between them. As always, thank you Sam. It's a pleasure to give you Patreon dollars.
This video is by far my favorite one you have done so far. Fantastic
Thanks for another excellent video, I'm excited to check out Seb's other works!
Now that i've seen a bigger version of archfiend of ifnir i want a play mat with it's art
Seb's work on Dirge of Dread caught my attention during previews for Masters 25. Holy cow, is that some awesome art. Cuombajj Witches was incredibly awesome, too.
Seriously, Seb has been doing some really awesome work over the last few years. Thank you, Sam, for highlighting him.
Worth the wait! I love Seb and can't wait for the kickstarter!
your video essays are one of the best organized and well spoken on youtube, love every one of your videos
If/when Seb puts playmats up for sale, I definitely want to own one
Boy, I don't know how to say this but Seb just finished a kickstarter for limited edition playmats
If you're still interested he's running a second kickstarter right now for playmats!
Vaporkin? More like Welkin Tern. And don't even get me started on Pongify or Searing Spear.
I'd like to buy you dinner for this comment.
Wut
Rhystic Studies I accept
Is there a joke in here because I'm missing it entirely...
I think it's just a joke about how Vaporkin and Welkin Tern are the same card with different names (just like Searing Spear and Lightning Strike are the same card with different names)
Your commentary on art is art in its own right. This video had me in tears. Thank you.
Dude your videos give me goosebumps! Thumbs up big time!!
I love everything about magic the gathering, but seb's artwork is something that drives me away from cool-looking cards and really makes me awe at the whole mtg world. when i play, i feel satisfied to play a seb's artwork just because the art make me feel one with magic. I trully worship his artwork and look forward for his next compositions to come, He stands out the most beautiful and eerie way I could eve imaginel Thank you,, seb, for making my gameplay feel the way I dreamt of.
(Also, Soulherder is the most beautifully haunting art magic could ever hope for, even though I don't play it at all)
I feel like seb could make the perfect representation of a skinwalker
You are amazing at breaking down art, truly. Thank you for your work.
This channel helped inspire me to back to art college. It's unreal how you break down the depth and techniques involved in illustration.
i n f u c k i n g s a n e
These are so cool but I really Want to see Rebecca Guay !!

Man, your channel is amazing.
Your editing, choice of music, how you set the tone.. amazing.
Dang, it's one thing to just look at a piece of art and feel something, but to have a description of the feelings it invokes and why just takes it to another level. Well done on the video, great job!
you need to talk about dominik mayer!!
April fools! There is no Seb McKinnon!
Got me at "and he also did the music". Really? Fantastic art, cinematics AND music? Pffft.
But there is a Seb Mckinnon, only he didn't do every card featured here. He actually IS a film director and music composer check out his website (made in 2015 I might add) : www.sebmckinnon.com/illustration/
Of course there is! He's the Red Grin Grumble of the Art world!
Your productions continually blow me away, thank you!!!
This video is so next level. I come back to rewatch it every few days because it is just that good.
