I've studied illjustration for 3 years and Fine Arts for 4, and I wish I could have know about this videos by then, because this tramples every art history or art theory lesson I've had in those combined 7 years. Congratulations for this quality content, and thank you so much.

You overlooked a massively fun detail: That the model for Liliana Vess is Karl Kopinski's wife! I'd love to know how she feels about that

Wow this dude is amazing

This was a really cool video. Art, history, and magic. Very well put together. The editing style is really cool. The way you transition through the art is really creative. As an editing junkie I absolutely love this video. This is really good stuff man.

WOW that's really what makes you one of the best creators in the whole community, the in depth analysis of art I'd otherwise view as good makes it great and gives a more personal feel to each card once you know the artist. Great content keep it up :D

I can't believe I'd never recognised that he was the same guy that did some of my favourite Warhammer art.

this whole series is probably the most quality MTG content on KZfaq. Such a pleasure to watch, it highlights one of my personal favorite aspects of the game. keep up the grand work, Sam!

Karl Kopinski is one of my favorite artists of all time (especially his drawings). Thank you for taking the time to take a deep dive into his work and sharing it among the masses! I don't know if you take requests, but hopefully we'll get to see Jaime Jones, Wesley Burt, Peter Mohrbacher, or even Allen Williams sometime in the future! Even then, there's still many, many great mtg artists and it would take forever to get to all of them. Anyway, keep up the good work!

I am always excited to see these videos in my feed. I wish I could get a new one daily! But if that was the case we'd lose the quality and spirit in these videos that I love.

Never heard waterloo described as a skirmish haha

Love this series, really hope there is more to come!

This series makes me pay a lot more attention to the art of the cards and game I love. Thanks for doing what you do Sam.

Amazing series. I've watched all of the episodes several times and learned alot. As an aspiring artist myself, the analysis you do in this videos is an inspiration in and on itself. Excelent job and thank you very much for doing it.

Damn, I was wondering where I had seen his face so clearly before. Turns out it was in the art of Ultimate Price! Great video Sam!

Mardu Heartpiercer is exactly the piece that got me looking into Karl's art, and I loved it. I got a foil version of it for none other reason then simply to collect it. Of all the artwork in KTK, I love mardu heart piercer the most, maybe the entire block of tarkir...

These artist videos are some of the best I've seen. Fantastic, well done.

You should just make a series like this about artists you love. Not just magic artists but those you just truly find amazing, I think it’ll help the artist and the people get inform cause god damn you’re good with drawing people in

This video is an instant favorite. Thank you so very much for making it, and about one of my favorite artists.

This video was awesome. Your breakdown of Karl’s work was spot on and insightful. I’m excited to check out more of your content!

Damn you shine such a beautiful light in these arts! I'm thankful for that. Keep up this good work!

Man your channel is quickly becoming one of my favourites.

Such an amazing analysis! I absolutely love this series.

So well done. Very happy we have someone to guide us through the amazing art in our game.

Just finished watching all of this artist spotlight series (i think) and it's been amazing. The flow is perfect and certainly feel like I've learnt quite a lot about art in general. Magic art is beautiful and these are a very talented bunch of people we have creating it for us. Thanks for highlighting them and their work.

opening my eyes every time I watch your insider vids.

Damn - this is great! These artist spotlights make me appreciate the art of this game so much more. Keep them up!!!

Stunning. Thank you for this video. Kopinski's work is just amazing.

Please keep up the good work. There is so much more to MTG other than the competitive play and secondary market. Your videos allow us to appreciate each and every card better. My only complain is that you need to churn out more vids!

Such a fabulous portfolio. I can not believe was so much depth to the cards i loved so much

This is one of the best videos I’ve seen on KZfaq in a while! So awesome!

beautiful, I'm falling more in love with your content. It really highlights what I love about magic, it's the worlds and the flavour... not just how expensive your deck is.

Always a great day when I see your videos up, my man! You continue to be a huge inspiration to me.

Amazing and informative as always. Absolutely love this series. If you haven't seen them all, definitely go back and watch them or if you have, rewatch them.

Really love these videos. I like magic for it's strategy and from the perspective of a game, but what truly makes me love it is the world-building. The lore, the flavor text, and the top notch artwork has a place close to my heart.

so glad i've found an art channel that provides some critical analysis of some art. My first video of yours that iv'e watched, but hopefully more to come!

Your observations are fascinating to listen to. Great insight!

you know, Sam, I gotta say, I am REALLY loving your videos as of late! Keep up the amazing work!

Dude, this series is really great. Thank you.

Those are some of my favorite warhammer pieces, it's super cool to learn of his other work

One of my favorites little touches in kopenskis work is on krenko mob boss. If you follow the direction his finger is pointing, you realize he's pointing at the artists signature at the bottom of the piece!

Sam, your videos are fantastic!!! Keep up the good (or amazing) work!

Absolutely fantastic. Brilliant video from a fantastic series :)

ok this channel is absurdly good. Thanks for this amazing stuff.

Excellent video. Love Kopinski's work 👍

So glad I've discovered you. Great video!

This was surprisingly pleasant. Thank you! :)

Haven't played MTG in years. Still subbed for the relaxing voice and trip down memory lane. Quite a talented orator.

Sam, you are by far my favorite youtube channel. Keep up the awesome work!

Awesome video! I recently built a Krenko EDH deck and am loving it! Now I can admire the art from a deeper perspective

Amazing work Sam. Karl is my favourite magic artist, met him at GP London and he couldn't be a nicer guy.

I'm still pretty new to MtG but I loved the art for Rabid Bite so much that I looked up the artist's name. I'm glad I did, all that art was gorgeous.

The Duke of Wellington isn't just depicted in a cloak, he actually wore that cloak during the battle. Both commanders could be recognised on the field because of their distinct clothing styles.

your videos are great! hope to see a next one soon

I Love the work of Kopinski... since my GW days.

Love these! Excited for Paolo Parente, Daren Bader and rk post. Keep up the great work.

Another great video! Well done!

another amazing work. you definitely found a niche and you are great at it.

fantastic!! I Will donate on patreon over the Next month. You do a great work with your videos and you deserve it

I thoroughly enjoyed this video and I subscribed. I think today is the first time I have seen your channel. And I look forward to watching more!

This took me completely by surprise, as I actually have 40k artwork by Kopinski hanging in my apartment but was unaware of the artist! Thank you so much for these artist focus videos- please keep them coming!

Such a great video. Thank you

I love your videos. I was drawn in to MTG for the incredible art, and your content has truly enhanced my appreciation for this work...I learn something new with every video. Thank you.

The way you show us Magic: the Gathering art is art itself. Awesome content as always.

Amazing series!

Awesome video! Keep up the good work!

To date your content is the only mtg content I watch more than one time ... on purpose. I have learned a lot about art from your coverage.Thank you, so much.

one of my fave artists. Period. Since his work on Games workshop stuff I;ve been following him - I love his style

Fascinating, glad I stumbled across this.

Great one, nice video essay

Great video mate

Oh shoot, I've followed this guy on instagram for years and didn't know there was a Rhystic Studies video about him! I absolutely love his line work, and his artistic output is absolutely insane, one of my favorite artists

@4:57 Articulated beautifully ! I appreciate the depth thanks for sharing .

Beautiful video👏👏

wow, thanks for letting me know about this

Sam! Brilliant presentation and analysis! Presentations like these make you really appreciate the art within MTG. Some of us don't really give the art a second look as we don't know what to look for. However, now at least I can look at a Karl Kopinski piece and really appreciate it. Thank you!

I played that game once....I loved those drawings...but didn't know who did that... thanks for this video

I love Karl's work. One of my favorite pieces is one of Austrian soldiers marching into battle during the Napoleonic wars.

Nicely articulated

awesome work thank you

Notification Squad! Dope video man, love your content

Awesome video!!!

Excellent analysis

Always excellent.

Great video!

Nice work Carl!

I like his drawing of the dude with the chain sword. Kinda hard to find high quality versions of it. But if you do look at the face and teeth of the man. Absolute savage

Another fantastic profile Sam! I LOVE the new art on Chord of Calling and now I know a lot more about the artist that brought it to me. I Love Karl's Ravnica goblins. There's something almost charismatic about their comically large noses profiled so prominently.

Can't wait to see your video about Rebecca Guay!

I had been underestimating him...the video proves what he's got...his works are marvelous.

Just found this and is awesome!

Your videos have really made me appreciate the art on Magic cards once again. It was the reason back in the mid nineties that got me interested in the game in the first place. I am still on kind of a hiatus from Magic and haven't really played since Khans was released. I honestly didn't think much of the set at first, I don't know if I was burned out at the time, was let down in some ways or had my expectations way too high. I think I was hoping for another major game changer like Shards of Alara was. (The new enemy wedge tri-lands was what I was psyched most for at the time.) Since I discovered your channel, I went back and started building EDH decks again and my friend wants to go back to 60 card "kitchen table" magic where anything pretty much goes. I have added disdainful stroke, mastery of the unseen and collateral into these decks since you made me give Khans block another look. Thank you for rekindling my love of the game. Can't wait for the next video dude!

This is a fantastic series. Possibly the most intelligent series about anything Magic related on KZfaq to date.

i love these!!! thank you :)

Karl Kosinski is one of my favorites for sure

Great video bro. Just subscribed

great video!!!

I loved the video. I've been a fan of Karl's work for ages. I'd like to see a video on the late, great Wayne England, at some point.

I love this so much

he is such an inspiration. i began to draw in a similar style, but of course not as good, but he is still really inspiring!
