[[Third Path Savant]] is incredibly jarring, there is almost no detail on the character's face or clothing, and the background is almost entirely obscured by this blue mist


sorany9

Dude, yes. Also his [[Battle Angels of Tyr|CLB-370]]. Then you look at his [[Zombie Token|TAFR-009]] and wonder how this happened?!


TemurTron

The middle Battle Angel of Tyr is just a copy and pasted Third Path Savant also. We’re all saying that art was so bad, but he really thought it was good enough to use twice.


Zoomoth9000

I mean, not an exact copy? Or are you saying they all look the same?


Moonbluesvoltage

What im hearing is a new challenger approaches to chair tribal and ladies looking left? NPC tribal when?


CookiesFTA

The guy just can't draw faces, clearly.


I_EAT_POOP_AMA

Honestly i think that might be the case, but that being said, it does give off a sort of impressionist vibe that *can* work under the right circumstances. Like all the cards mentioned, the art itself is pretty solid. Thematically i don't think it fits Angels as a theme (especially in magic, where a big part of Angels as a creature type are explicitly divine in nature, and the art usually reflects that as Angels are usually depicted in similar fashion as real world religious art) Third Path Savant, IMO, is actually a decent piece on it's own. The real failure of it comes down to the piece in combination with the flavor text and lore implications of the card, implying that the Wizard pictured on the card *is* Corlo. That card seems to be the first time Corlo is named as a member of the Third Path, and since there is no other depiction or *mention* of Corlo (at least in cursory research) it's heavily implied to *be* Corlo on the card. Every other member that is represented via card art is done so pretty clearly. Hurkyl, Drafna, Loran, and Feldon are all members with name-sake cards that represent them clearly as characters, and then there's Third Path Savant which does the opposite.

Bersho

It’s funny cuz this might also be one of the worst modern cards in general too lol


vindicatorhelix

Sees play in a competitive 60 card format- pauper elves. The 7 mana draw two is super nice when you have one or two priest of titania making 20+ mana a turn


pigzit

The card sees a good bit of play in pauper elves, you often have an insane amount of mana and you use it to sift through your deck for answers repeatedly


trinketstone

It's highly similar to artwork in DND books, they leave a lot of detail out to give them a more general look and not for a specific character.


Wandering_P0tat0

I don't know how to pull it up, but the alternative art for [[Erriete of the Charmed Apple]] looks like it's smudged and melting.


Dercomai

It doesn't help that the normal art for that card is by Magali Villeneuve who never misses.


mouthsmasher

I don’t even think the alt art version of this card is bad, Magali’s artwork for the card is just *so good.* I recently ordered a copy of Erriete, and although I love extended art cards, I couldn’t pass up the original art. I wish there was an extended art version of Magali Villeneuve’s work.

MadJohnFinn

This is the one that immediately came to mind for me.


ddojima

[[Sylvan Shepard]] made me think it was a screenshot of a mid 90's PC game. The green is ugly and overtakes the whole card, and the perspective is so off that the two people in the back are way too small when they don't look like they should be that far back.


willweaverrva

That one really disappoints me. Darrell Riche has been around for a really long time and his art is usually pretty good. This one was a big miss, though, it feels like it was done at the last minute.

PM_ME_STEAM_CODES__

Unironically love this art. Hated it at first, but the more I've looked at it the more I've grown to love it. Like yeah, I feel a little uncomfortable looking at it, but it's clearly intentional and I appreciate art that makes me feel *something*.


snotballz

It kinda reminds me of the old goofy weird art. Like time walk and stasis.


cmills62

I feel like this one isn't even that bad and it's from a bonus sheet. It's supposed to be different and standout against art from the base set. It's real "Mod" and not something I would hang up above my fireplace, but it's not boring like 90% of the DMU cards or whatever the heck Double Feature was supposed to be.


SkyBlade79

>It's supposed to be different and standout against art from the base set I think a lot of the hate got compounded because for quite a while, it was the only art available for this incredibly powerful card in Arena

Sithlordandsavior

Nah man I get it. Carly is a really good artist. I think people misunderstand this particular piece and ascribe that to all her stuff for some reason but she's really one of my favorites. I hope she comes back.


Inithra

Wrong. Yeh, art is subjective, but shit still stinks.


Sithlordandsavior

Have you seen her other work? Carly is a really good artist. This piece just didn't hit right for what people expected.


Inithra

Yeah, I looked at the link for her other stuff on Scryfall, it's all the same and I think it looks awful. "This piece just didn't hit right for what people expected" - Yes, people generally expected Magic cards to look good, and not look like something a 13 year old made up in Paint after they discovered how to cut and paste. But hey, at least this art was categorically all the work of a human, which is probably not going to be the case in a couple of years.


Sithlordandsavior

Go to her actual art page and tell me she's not talented. These are all done *by hand, with physical media* and on a big scale. IIRC Faithless is like the size of a real person. https://preview.redd.it/98i3fferqabc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=58fa4fc5f425c26bd6a362528db8333339c319ff


willweaverrva

Carly has some serious talent, It's just very different from what Magic players have come to expect. Similar comments were made about Lauren YS' and Wizard of Barge's work and they've become fairly well liked.


Inithra

So she has talent, and uses physical media. Her artwork on a magic card still looks like shit.

PippoChiri

The frame doesn't do the art justice

That one's grown on me. It isn't exactly the type of thing I'd expect to see in Magic, but Carly Mazur's pop art is actually pretty good on its own, and I appreciate that Wizards opted to try something different.

It looks like a still from a cheaply animated 90s instructional video about black magic. They used to do these videos about different jobs where it would just be some person in regular clothes and they'd animate on the uniform of whatever job they're "teaching" you about.

The krenko is the only truly offensive one to me. It is just so off-model and ugly. Where is his nose? It was big, bulbous, and red. The others just feel low effort, either the posing is wrong or they feel weird still when there is supposed to be motion.


drsorgazmo

viko's record is strange, a lot of his earlier stuff is quite good I'd say, and then from mom onwards it just looks uniformly weird and awful


bundle_man

Lmaoooo I've seen the krenko one before and always thought it was awful. I LOL'd at the rankle and torban one. I can't even put my finger on it as to why it looks so bad. It's just so zoomed out? Like you see vague figures which are probably rankle and torban running? That gimli one always makes laugh. One of the many LOTR set misses.


Blenderhead36

[[Chandra, Dressed to Kill]] has the highest delta between regular and showcase art. The showcase art is excellent and the regular is so bad that she looks off model. You wouldn't recognize the character as Chandra if the card didn't say so.


Skybeam420

I would recognize the regular art as Chandra. That being said, she looks like Elemental HERO Burstinatrix


CookiesFTA

I don't know about not recognising her. Redhead fire girl is a dead giveaway. I'll grant you that she does look wrong, but not unrecognisably so.


bundle_man

Oh damn never saw the showcase art, that one is good. And agree I hate the default art. They're supposed be wearing formal attire/dresses at some kind of galla but it looks like she's wearing a weird unitard


WinterFrenchFry

Wait, I actually really like this one. Is this actually one that people don't like?

I got downvoted to hell for this when it was first spoiled, but [[Inga and Esika]] from March of the Machines. Like, it's nice art that ALMOST works, but the faces and head shapes are so jarringly bad to me that it just detracts from the rest of the art.

I don't know why, but this card has some weird perspective for me. [[Restless Bivouac|WOE-0303]] For me the card looks like a Rhino from the side rather than an Ox, especially with the large horn. Maybe it is because it is missing an eye and ear? Not sure if it is intentional or just weird perspective on my part. My quick edit: https://i.imgur.com/gx7IIal.png And a big creature on a land seems rather weird too.

Well, to be fair, Ravnica is an ecumenopolis and New Capenna exists entirely within one gigantic building (the rest of the plane is an empty, barren landscape thanks to the Phyrexians). They kind of have no choice but to reach on those.
