I don't think there was ever a thread on /ic/ about the drama that recently came out about the famous MTG artist Terese Nielsen. It was recently discovered that she was conservative because she liked a bunch of tweets from conservative twitter users from her public twitter account. So despite being a married lesbian woman, she's now a literal Neo-Nazi because she shares some conservative views. Just read the replies on her post

https://twitter.com/tnielsenart/status/1113126515816882176

This is what can happen to you guys if you refuse to be apart of the ultra progressive LGBTQ clique. If you happen to have any right of center views about any political issue, try to avoid discussing it on your public art accounts. Don't RT or comment on politics on those accounts at all if you can help it.

You can like or dislike art styles all you want but if all these pictures were redrawn as they are by KJG at his best the only ones where the western version would be better would be Ajani, Gideon, Nicol and Sorin.

Shit like this always sparks the art vs artist debate. I mean if the person is morally dubious then I'd say it makes sense. But having a different opinion and political stand point have always been a weird reasoning to 'lynch' someone. The "you're with us or you're against us" tribalism just goes off the rails with twitter and by extension Tumblr. Why does political shit have to be treated as black and white when its pretty complicated shit?

This is true but politics as we know them are 2772 years old, a blink of an eye in human development, they are not the cornerstone of our existance and it's time people realized we lived without presidents and senates for far longer than we've lived with them, and it's time to do so again. The radicalization of the people will not stop until every politician has stopped breathing.

Fun fact: most of the early YGO artwork is directly taken straight from the manga, just colorized and slightly edited.

>Mark Winters
A typical nerd "cool guy" artist, he's mostly responsible for the packaging and promotional art but when he does card art it's super fucking obvious because he directs every piece like it's a key frame for a movie.
>Cyhthia Sheppard
Formerly an erotic illustrator, she usually does more set design than directing so she is responsible for the overal aesthetic than individual cards. It's also notable that we only really get outstandingly attractive women in cards when she's the set's lead designer. No surprise, she is pretty.
>Dawn Murin
An old, fat, feminist who could pass for a Hutt. Her claim to fame before being AD for Magic was turning the Kobolds genderfluid in D&D 4e. She got Jeremy Jarvis' spot as lead AD out of nepotism in 2015 and the very first thing she did was veto Karla Ortiz for daring to disobey when she was asked to make one of her already delivered arts look fatter.

It's because mtg's been photobashing to death, attempting to do 'realistic fantasy'

Yet they're neither painters nor photographers, so their cards end up being stiff and lacking composition at best, or plain ugly/uncanny at worst

If MtG hired, for example, top tier comic artists, or actual -graduated from atelier- realistic painters, then the western art would kick ass

The fact that you're saying the artists behind Magic aren't painters shows how much of a complete idiot you are. Magic regularly has some of the best illustrations made in fantasy, and they've regularly hired people like Donato Giancola and Howard Lyon (traditional fine art painters who are also illustrators) while many of their digital artists work in traditional mediums too, like Cynthia Sheppard.

Getting to the professional level of painting and composition skills that Magic requires in order to hire you even if you can photobash is not fucking easy especially most up-and-comers want to work for them. If you have the skills for them to hire you then you've made it.

Tbh both sides have some works with anatomy fails. Western are kinda mellow with few good works but I agree that the photobashed/stereotypical digital painting feels very bland. Eastern have a few interesting cards but some of them are really kitschy also with poor anatomy. Also Amano is ok but i think he could do better. Kinda disappointing because I loved MTG as a kid but I guess it's art was always mostly bland. The cards I mostly enjoyed looking at were lands, particularly by John Avon but not exclusively and Kamigawa block which was pretty intriguing to me back then.

they are literally trying to get wotc to stop hiring her over her views. they made a big stink out of her political opinions because they want something to be done about her. if they werent after her, they wouldnt be saying shit like "ill never use your cards in my deck again" or "wotc shouldnt hire you ever again". they wouldnt be demanding an apology for her having different views. now get the fuck out of here oven dodger.

a fair comparison would be magic vs duel masters (which is magic made for japan and children). It was anything but generic, and the average common makes the most bombastic MTG art look like a spring meadow.
