and it is no suprise to me that all of these artist worked for whitewolf
before doing magic.
"Remember, everything, no matter how great or small, has the potential to be worthless."
1.) Quinton Hoover (arguable, I know, but I think his clean, crisp
pictures are just so awesome. Consider Vesuvan, Pixie Queen,
Emerald Dragonfly, Orcish Veteran, etc.)
2.) Richard Cane Ferguson (though sometimes they're a bit confusing)
3.) ??? (I like Ron Spencer, Stuart Griffin, John Avon's lands, and Anson
Maddox.)

1) Phil Foglio (Love all his artwork)
2) Christopher Rush (Does faces really well, look at Eron, Lim Dul's
Paladin, and Archangel)
3) Adrian Smith (Largely due to new Black Knight)
My choice for the worst would be Mike Kimble.
I am not a fan of Drew Tucker, but at least he has some good ones. Angry Mob
especially. I haven't seen good Mike Kimble art, and Balduvian War Makers is
about the most poorly drawn card I have ever seen.
Just my humble opinion,

OK my votes are ...
1) Rebbecca Guay
2) Melissa Benson - Still love most of her artwork.
3) Phil Foglio - I just love some of the concepts on his art.
For lands I'd go for Tom Wänerstrand. There are so many wonderful artists that
it is hard pick three that are the best.

good picks, but mine differ just a little -

2. tie between cliff nielsen and adam rex; and
3. richard kane ferguson (making four, but does that matter?)
if robert bliss was still working for wotc, he'd be at the top of

My pick, in order of my opinion :
1) Randy Gallegos
I love the use of color and shading in his work. Vexing Arcanix is my
personal favorite
piece of art for the game.
2) R. K. F.
All of his art is what Tedin would probably call "Magic Art". Doesn't fall
into category with anything else. All of it is grand and complex, and his
work is consistantly top notch.
3) Anson Maddocks
Anson has a lot more that I don't like than the other two, but the stuff he
does well, he *really* does well.
- Lord Daroki the Itchogunsa -
(1) Drew Tucker
(2) Amy Weber
(3) Robert Bliss
When you focus in on Kane-Ferguson's art, you can't see anything clear,
just motion and movement. Then it slowly comes into view, and the subject
becomes evident. Also look at his Rage artwork, and you will see that his
unique style is the best.
Folgios is good, but not great. More of a cartoony sort of thing.
Drew Tucker's art is just boring. Maddocks is good , but not as good as
Kane-Ferguson.
Top three ever, or top three current?
Ever:
1)Quinton Hoover
2)Drew Tucker
3)Rob Alexander
Current:
1)Terese Nielsen
2)Cliff Nielsen
3)Richard Kane Furgeson

You can, but I can't imagine why you WOULD, as RKF sucks a fat nut!

No, definitely the artist for those who like nonsensical drivel.
I could submit the same painting for all of my assignments, too.
Unfortunately, I'd get a big fat F.
RKF and Drew Tucker can get married and paint indescriminant nonsense
all over each other. Hopefully with lead-based paint.

As an artist, okay UPCOMING artist ;) I was really FURIOUS when the
WotC contracts made them turn away. But Anson's and Mark's work in
Weatherlight was really GREEEEEEEAT! I have about 17 Null Rods, and a
Zillion Abyssal Gatekeepers, cause there are commons, but thats okay!
Daniel, your turn to paint a card, so that I can get some copies of
your cards. And I thing Myrfor's is right when he says that Magic art
is no longer Magic Art. Its just "generic...mainstream fantasy
art...art found on a cover of a paper back". It is! Look at Llanowar
Elves! Jeezzzz, THAT was magic art. Along wil Hurllon Minotaur, etc...
PLEASE ANSON, MARK, DANIEL, START DOING MAGIC ART!!!!

H.M.) Mark Tedin. Tedin is a true artist, but the "brain pattern" that he
puts in every painting is a touch redundant (even if it is his trademark).
And now back to the strategies, or lack thereof.
I agree on Brom, but my personal fav is John Avon

I like phil a lot better, his browse art in the duelist has to be one of
my all time fave pieces. I like the original art too.
as for Tedin and Gelon, nothing can be said for them, no questions, DO
MAGIC CARDS!!!!!!!!!
You are all great.

Of course Phil's art is cartoony - he's mainly a comic book artist.

Sense of feeling and action from Drew 'how the hell do I still have a

BUT, just because I don't like him doesn't mean you can't :)
I definitely agree on Maddocks, and of course, Foglio (I'm a big fan
from the What's New days).

#2. is Richard Thomas. I liked his walls with the wizards behind them in

My sentiments exactly. Benson is my absolute favorite. The art has

a few good pieces in the whole mix.
I think that Richard Kane Fuergeson is the best. Second would
have to be Anson Maddocks, and those Foglios are tied for third.
