You have 10 seconds to name a better fantasy artist than rebecca guay.
Spoiler:you can't
>>36373204
what is up with her feet? is she hovering?
also, I don't know any by name, so you are right. I can't.
I like Rebecca Guay's work, but it isn't necessarily the best for every time of fantasy tone.

I am looking for a specific Guay painting. It's basically a woman and a heroic-looking man laying together on stole tile floor, and there is a sword laying there.
>>36373204
Terese Nielsen, Avon and Rob Alexander are pretty good competitors.
Also DiTerlizzi, altough he did a lot less stuff for mtg
>>36374051
DiTerlizzi is GOAT
>>36374051
Avon is just generic sterile digital illustration. Nothing artistic about it
Tierese Nielson
Richard Kane Ferguson
Frank Franzetta
Also Pete Venter's
Not that I dislike Guay I just don't understand the worship.

Rebecca Guay is my favourite MtG artist, when I played I was on a quest to collect 1 of each of her cards.
I can't say she is the best fantasy artist, though. Her tone only works for certain stuff (hence her not being featured in any sets in years).

Except for one card in M10 she hasn't done anything since Lorwyn.
WotC wanted to stop using her stuff because it didn't fit the new MtG aesthetic but her fans got hugely pissed, so as far as I can tell they gave her basically half of Lorwyn block in compensation and called it even.

That's just off the top of my head. Guay is a hack who paints the exact same composition in every work she does. Terese Nielsen paints in the same general style but actually does varying compositions. She's a hundred times more talented than Guay will ever be.
"Oh, you painted yet another pale slender long-haired woman against a storybook forest backdrop?! How original! gg Rebecca Guay top notch work you've done there!"
She's a scam artist recycling the same garbage ad nauseum and she deserved to be fired.

no, The Hebrew canon was already established and the parts of the New Testament which were judged to be non-canonical or apocryphal weren't ever part of the bible to begin with

Giger may be one of the best artists ever in terms of art in general, but it's hard to say he's a "fantasy" artist in the /tg/ sense of the word.

I hate how standardized 'anime' has become due to sweatshop studios and cost cutting.
If you ever get a chance to, look up Robot Carnival. It's from the 80s and is a collection of shorts all about robots. A lot of different art and directing styles in it.
My favorite from it is the second short called Presence, reminds me a lot of Blade Runner.

Rebecca Guay is my wife's favorite magic artist by far. I bought her a signed Kaysa print when we got married, and recently I managed to get her one of every magic card that has her art. Stupid Bitterblossom. Her favorite is probably Perish.
While searching our collection, I realized that I really dig Terese Nielsons stuff. No full art set forms though. Bitterblossom was expensive, but guru lands are CRAZY.

>>36404917
No they aren't, look again. She doesn't actually have hoof feet, her toes are just replaced with cloven hoof points. all in all it's probably because the artist was lazy or didn't know how to actually draw ungulate legs or hooves and so she just slapped hoof tips onto a regular foot.
