Anyone else occasionally buy these things for the artwork?

>>3028756
why not just paint something similar if you like one of em?

>>3028758
Same reason people own artbooks and such I guess, it's just for enjoyment and inspiration. I do occasionally take cues from some of them and use that in my art.

People had the same idea too, ten years later, they're making illustrations for MTG. What a coincidence.

>>3028756
yes, when I was in HS way back when..

i was pretty amused when i discovered that people take the game part of magic cards seriously.

Me. But only vintage ones before they started doing digital artworks.

I used to have a box cart of these cards from some dead guy when I was a kid. But at the time I didn't know what it really was and was into yugioh more.

the new cards are way too refined for my tastes.

I wish I could answer yes but I'm such a huge nerd that I have to actually play them too. So no. Even though I /like/ the artwork I know I'm buying em to use em. XD

Been playing magic off and on since it came out, I'm pretty sure. Or very close to it.

i used to play a lot. and it still have a bunch of them i enjoy the artwork from. like this one from Brainstorm

So is it possible to sell them your work like just here this is wizard for $50 or they need to hire you and all that bullshit?

they go by commission. so they'll pay you for the drawing they give you a prompt for. each card has a theme that goes along with the theme of the set that it will be a part of. so you have to follow that.

if you're interested in doing commission work for them build a portfolio of scenes that look like they could be on a mtg card.

me, as well. I enjoyed the old artwork as much as the new. The most tasteful in my opinion was from kamigawa to worldwake

>tfw I got into magic exclusively for the art
>got cheated out of hundreds of dolla over the years by incredibly asshole LCS guy who preyed on small autistic kids' allowance and took pride of it
>all on shitty cards with good art
>eventually I quit because I was going nowhere, sold all of it back to him to recoup some of the money and he got it all back at like 1/5th of the price
>later on discovered online MTG catalogs and realized how hard I was fucked
I know I was a stupid kid but I hope that scumbag lives a life of soul crushing tragedy for the rest of his days. Fuck MTG, fuck local comic shops.

i did this with pokemon cards for a while, but now i'm just trying to look for other ways to get the artwork. the translated illustration book that came with the mew & mewtwo super collection box last year was really damn nice though
