TheMagicManSam Love your videos man, you are an integral part to this community. Keep up the good work!
Now I feel really privileged to have Nils Hamm as a professor at my university
Wie cool
wut
Wow! So lucky! What is he in real life?
An artist?
Wow what university do you go to?
I genuinely feel more intelligent when watching your videos, Sam. Your videos are exquisitely written and beautifully put together. Absolutely Wonderful. Thank you!
I can't wait to meet you Mr. Ranch.
The feeling is mutual. See you in vegas! (Come on Dunkin' Donuts! Pull through!) lol
exquisitely written
Sam, you've got the soul of a poet. You're a skilled filmmaker, too. Grateful for your work.
thank you very much.
Having only recently started paying attention to the artists names, despite collecting cards since M10, I was shocked I hadn't recognized Nils' art on so many cards. He hooked me with Glimmer Bairn then Gilder Bairn, and now I'm realizing that I've loved his art for a while; Bone splinters, Death Baron, Battle Hymn, and Elderwood Scion are all been cards I have to stop and admire while flipping through boxes to build a deck.
Grixis Panorama (3:59) was one of the very first Magic cards I'd ever held. That was about a year before I started playing the game. Seeing it here still invokes the same feelings I felt when I first saw the card art. I couldn't take my eyes off it and kept a copy in my trade binder for a number of years.
ain't that a heck of a feeling? I feel the same about that Mountain.
TCC, Wedge, Rudy, SBMTG, Rouge deck builder, etc; all amazing chanels about the *game* of magic. However, this channel always surprises me with the *Magic* of Magic; and I will always be grateful for it.
Thanks Sam
Man, the reason I started collecting these cards back in like '98 or '99 because they pictures were so damn cool. (I was only like 8 at the time, so I didn't really get art, but I thought they looked awesome!) I haven't REALLY looked at the art in so long. And these were GORGEOUS. Thank you.
I think we all are transfixed by the art as kids, and quickly it became more about the mechanics. I never want that first impression to go away.
Nils Hamm has always been my favorite artist. I have a whole binder of Nils Hamm cards, except the promo Bitterblossom. I want to get my Skullbriar autographed so much.
SevenSeasAgo He is my uncle and he drawed one picture only for me i swear
Ill second the John Avon requests! My personal favorite artist! Favorite piece? His Invasion Plains! The golden field with the wheat and the sun on the horizon is just so awesome!
this is a fan favorite, no doubt.
The skin of Nils Hamm's organic characters always looks a little blighted (look at Thragtusk's forehead, it's like there's some skin condition that has taken hold.) I think it's the pink/purple highlights on the green skintone, but it's a really interesting effect.
Ur vids are a piece of art too bro! Take care and keep on making us dream
thank you man. this comment made my day.
I love what you're doing with this series! For many people, the art gets overlooked, even though it is one of the most important parts of the game, but this series really helps people like me appreciate the art (and artists) a lot more. Thanks, Sam.
I'm glad I can help you do that.
This was just... I can't even.... Great insight and we'll thought out. I myself as an artist I appreciate the work artists do. Yes we play these cards all the time but some times it's nice to just look at and enjoy the art.
I play EDH because people take forever to take turns,
which leaves me plenty of time to flicker through the gallery!
TheMagicManSam lol. Its the only format I play too. It is a great format to appreciate the artwork on cards. You know. While the top player looks at the top of his library for the tenth time in a turn.
Fantastic as always, I really do love this series as a way to pay homage to a certain part of the creativity of Magic which is always at the forefront but in turn never truly considered.
Good damn. A real shame you don't have millions of subscribers. This channel has become my favorite thing on TH-cam. Your video about seb McKinnon not only game me my favorite artist but also pushed me and my wife into playing magic. Thanks for that.. I really mean it
To me, Nils Hamm's art is most reminiscent of the images found in Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.
The macabre tones, the minimalist use of color to focus on the image, I like it a lot.
Thankyou for your Video, upon rewatch I learned of Nils having a Book and immediately bought it for my Daughter. Can't wait to meet her and show her Nils Hamm
Baleful Strix 4 Life. Love Nils' art! Love your work Sam! Becoming a patron right now! =D
*wooooooooooooo*
please do Rebbeca Guay or John Avon next they're my favorite MTG artists I also would like to see Greg stamples or Rob Alexander
Avon, you say?
stay tuned.
Only found out about you today, but I;m really loving your videos - the art-ones as well as card-history ones too
Sam, you are greatness!
much obliged.
Knocked it out of the park again sam!!!! Great job!
Man that photoshop was on point for the editing in the video
I'm going to marry photoshop I swear.
Production quality and commentary is top notch. Im in art school in Germany and Nil is a inspiration to me
I have to say your videos keep getting better and better. Absolutely love this one and is my favourite so far.
THANKS MUMM I APPRECIATE THAT
I dont understand why you dont have so many more subscribers and viewers. Your videos are edited so well and so well done. I just wanna say keep it up because these are really top quality videos your producing
Love love love the regular content. Grave Titan and Baleful Strix are two of my favourite cards for their design as well as for their art and now I know who to attribute that to
fun little trivia: the promo Grave Titan was painted by Lucas Graciano, but mis-attributed to Nils Hamm.
thanks for stopping by again, Dragonite.
TheMagicManSam That's super neat!
I love these videos so much; the detail you're putting into them, even compared to your first few, is amazing. I'd love to see Raymond Swanland, Ron Spencer, or Aleksi Briclot at some point! They all have such dynamic styles.
I love how much more animated this video was than normal for you.
I'm glad you enjoyed. I've been putting more effort into the visuals as of late, and Living Cards MTG really added some extra spice to this video.
I love your videos! I got into Magic because of the incredible art, it's still one of my favorite things about the game. Thanks for your thoughtful content, it's allowing me to appreciate the art I love even more! :D
One thing i know for sure is that this video makes me feel joy
Great video
Oh my God your videos my heart can't take this
Is it odd that I'm watch this right before bed?
It's extremely soothing.
big props to Sam for making a video that is so good at describing art fundamentals that im citing it as source for a project im working on
Thanks Sam for taking your time to create these awesome videos that guide us through not just magic art but art generally.
I feel like I couldn't touch anything on Nils Hamm's works, they are always intimidating... and amazing.
My favourite artist for his technique. Brilliant.
Holy shit, was literally watching your video on the ravnica colors and thought 'I wish he would do a video on my favorite MTg artist, Nils.' then I looked at your other videos. You read my mind from the past! Bravo!
Some of my favourites:
Counterflux - Scott M. Fischer
Blightsteel Colossus - Chris Rahn
Anything from Clint Cearly (Syncopate, Breya, Grapeshot, Reclamation sage (promo))
Your series has actually made me realise I'm a big fan of the bold contrasting uses of colour. Hadn't really thought about it before, but I realised all the pieces that stand out to me, quite literally "stand out"!
it also seems like you're a big fan of centered, 3/4 portraits and swirly magic textures.
I'm the guy advertisers dream about. Bright colours and a literal arrow pointing me to where I need to look and I'm sold.
hahahahaha. that's hilarious.
your videos are amazing
now I know exactly who has done my favorite mountain art and that its the same person who did baleful strix and skullbriar
Jason Chans cards always get me
this channel is more informative than the majority of my art classes
Amazing beautiful videos. The music, the imaging , the teaching , excellent. Really makes art easily digestible, I learned to much.
Another perfect art video! I always learn so much!
just stumbled upon your channel, it seems i have to binge watch all your videos.. thank you for this amazing work of yours!
A video game hand drawn by Nils Hamm would be amazing; something like a creepy Bastion.
This feels like it could have been broadcast on NPR. Great production. Keep up the good work!
I feel like Nils' art is so often very subtle and soft that it's easy to overlook. His art never really stood out to me, but now that I've watched this video I realized how the cards I recognize that he illustrated are definitely some of the best art on cards.
thanks for excellent video. You are doing an outstanding job of teaching art appreciation using the medium of Magic art. I am glad you have found your voice.
I haven't played Magic in years, yet I still remember Baleful Strix's hollow eyes staring back at me. The sharp, metallic edges of its wings remind me of just how deadly it is. Its giant wings fading into the mist, barely hiding its true scale. Baleful Strix will always be my favorite card, long after I've forgotten the rest of the game.
You should do Amy Weber or Rebecca Guay sometime, I really like both artists. Great video, I'm glad you're uploading more often.
You're just becoming better and better. Such a huge inspiration!! Great video as always!
These videos are instrumental to art history and the names behind MTG art. Please continue the amazing art content, they are greatly valued.
Hi!
I found your video randomly while I was looking for a Kev Walker artbook (unfortunately he doesn't seem to have any) and I must say that I really like this serie. I got into Magic back in 2007 with Lorwyn and while I don't really follow the game anymore, it was a huge inspiration for my artistic development. The way you look at the artists and their art really makes me see them in a new light and gives much more depth to their whole work.
Thanks for making these videos and I'm looking forward to see more. Cheers!
nice! welcome to the channel, I'm glad you enjoyed.
Favourite MtG artist by far, loved the video
The chillest channel on TH-cam.
This series is amazing, please please please keep it up
This series is gold! Nerdwriter wouldn't do better! We need a Ron Spencer one!
My favorite MTG artist!
Sam your vids are insanely good and get even better over time! Many many gratz! (Love the music btw)
love your videos, now we can appreciate their cards a lot more, knowing more about their styles and themselves.
I'd love to see one of these for Slawomir Maniak at some point, as he's definitely one of my absolute favourites, in particular his art for Ember Swallower (from cards I own, at least).
I dig his work, too.
These are literally my favorite videos
i really like this format of videos, glad to stumble on your channel. Good work
Home Run, again! I don't know if there's another MTG youtuber I get more excited about when they show up on my Subscription feed.
Fantastic study as always.
this channel is a godsend
A fantastic video that gave stunning insigt! Keep up the brilliant work!
Glad to find someone else who loves that mountain
Bro these videos are LIT!!!!!!!!!!! I love them
thanks Sam!!!!!
You're quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. You're like the Folding ideas of Magic.
Awesome video as always sir!
Baleful Strix is probably one of my favorite cards ever, both artistically and for what it does. I don't recommend imprinting it to prototype portal with undwinding clock on the battlefield. Your opponents don't necessarily like an armada of 1/1 flying deathtouches that net you a card.
MY favorite to date
Can't wait to hear about Steve Argyle, Jason Felix and Igor Kieryluk
Wondering if you can find anything about Brian Dugan, aka Chippy, who I think is a huge fan favorite with Master Transmuter, but only has an outdated blog.
Please keep it up!
really awesome video, thank you for introducing me to this wonderful artist, hope you continue too shine a spotlight on some of magic's greats *cough* Rebecca Guay, Jason Chan, Chris Rahn *Cough* XD Jokes aside, love your work!
keep the suggestions coming. I love them.
TheMagicManSam Ok, well another few of my favourites are Winona Nelson, Victor Adame Minguez, and Vincent Proce. :)
Are you planning on doing Jaime Jones? He made my favorite artwork, Progenitus.
I dig Progenitus as well. it's a great way to depict the uncanny.
I don't play Magic. But I do have a massive hard on for Magic art, analysis, and your voice.
Subbed good sir.
Baleful Stryx is absolutely beautiful!
You make the best documentaries!
Baleful Strix is by far the best combination of art and flavour text. I have to wonder which was written first, and which was inspired by it, because both capture that sense of terrible and piercing haunting
WHY ARE THESE SO GOOD!
Another amazing video!
Always excited to see you upload :D
Fucking good vid! I love to watch this series before I pick up my pencils and sit for hours, it's so inspiring. Keep up the good work!
Another great video Sam! Just fantastic. I really learned a lot in this one. Thank you!
Was waiting to hear your analysis and comments on the Stryx (my pc background for the least 8 months...I rotate..). I was not disappointed
THANK YOU. Terrific content!
Awesome video, sir! Great job. :)
Amazing video. Fantastic information. Lovely content.
Thank you!
I love how a lot of his stuff looks like it had oil spilled on it
Great video Sam! If you don't mind a little suggestion for a future content video, I absolutely love the masterpieces from Kaladesh, I know they are various artists but maybe a great concept to cover? Anyhoo, look forward to more videos from you ^_^
I want to see a video of Steve Argyle! One of my favorite magic artists for sure.
I think I'll be meeting Steve in San Antonio at the end of this month!
TheMagicManSam that's awesome! I would love to meet him. I love all his artwork. It's always so detailed, like it Chandra Ablaze, you see each chain link in her armor so well.
Nice work man!
Absolutely love these!! Please dont stop making incredible work
Yes! The art is amazing!
This video...is so friggin awesome.
I follow a large number of TH-camrs and never comment but I feel compelled to in this instance. Every single time you upload one of these I am simply transfixed. Keep up the amazing work. I'll be sure to add you to my patreon list soon.
Holy cow I always think they can’t get better but they do
I've been waiting for another one of these! Maybe you can do Magali Villanueve next, please?
I've been watching MIgali for a while. her time will come :)
TheMagicManSam I'll be looking forward to it haha, keep up the good work!
Wow this was mesmerizing.
absolutely amazing.
