    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 Před 5 lety +7

      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 Před 5 lety +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. =)

      it's because he is providing easy answers and interpretations instead of teaching you to do the same.

    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

      Me too but I the reverse I knew him from WH and never realised he did that Liliana piece. He also did Zombicide.

    @Nateson Před 7 lety +50

    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
    @jackkensik7002 Před 7 lety +234

    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

  • @Mr12toe
    @Mr12toe Před 7 lety +20

    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  Před 7 lety +5

      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.

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.

    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.

    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...

    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

    The instant that Magic art turns digital I turn my look away. Pure traditional is what makes me love Magic art.

    • @RhysticStudies
      @RhysticStudies  Před 7 lety

      while I tend to favor traditional painting, there are a few artists who use digital to great effect. Check out Seb McKinnon's work and see if that changes your mind.

    • @Lornext
      @Lornext Před 7 lety

      Yeah, I know Seb, still kind of reminds me of Kopinski. However, his Innistrad art somehow seems different from rest of his work, meaning more likeable.

    @obeycelestia Před 7 lety +1

    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  Před 7 lety +1

      his goblins are one of a kind. dem noses!

    • @simongunkel7457
      @simongunkel7457 Před 7 lety +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 Před 7 lety

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

  • @Locustnism
    @Locustnism Před 7 lety +1

    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!
