Mark Winters

@Gray_Influence Nothing special as I recall haha. Start with a solid drawing, add color while ensuring I kept the mood I was after. I did hafta do a rudimentary 3D model for the perspective of the background. Curves and arches in 3-point perspective is tough, so I cheated haha. Thanks!

@MarkWintersArt Hey mark love your mtg art, I just wana know how you went about the illustration for Nekusar the Mind Razer, like a insight. it’s my favorite mtg art ever!

@HobbesQ email me at mark at markwintersart dot com and I'll point you in the right direction. Thanks!

@gcampoverde For Tolarians the tomes are valuable and powerful. The books are as bound to the mages as the mages are bound to the books. Art-wise, that's the message I was trying to get across.

I'm thinking about starting a #DnD campaign based on #Dominaria and now I can't sleep because I need to know why do mages' spellbooks have chains. I hope @MarkWintersArt can answer that.

@jay13x We have to take our trash out day of pick up because bears. I don’t wanna fight bears.

@ZandCosplay Wow!!

@JeremyBylander Sun. But I put a curved building and flying vehicle in front of it to give it a bit of a moon-like appearance to foreshadow his involvement with the null moon.

@MarkWintersArt In the background of Yawgmoth from Modern Horizon is that a sun or a moon?

@ZandCosplay @ChannelFireball Love it!!!

@mythictalesmike @SheppardArts Haha too kind!!

@MarkWintersArt @SheppardArts Should note I'm sure there were many, many great folks involved, but any chance to throw some credit Mark's way I'm gonna take it.

Assuming we can definitely thank @MarkWintersArt and @SheppardArts direction starting with the sagas in Dominaria that we get to have these more stylized takes not just relegated to Hascon and Comicon promos. So flippin good. #mtg #mtgart #MTGEldraine

@ShivanArt Really great!

Yawgmoth should be half the @MarkWintersArt's Yawgmoth, half the Mark Tedin's one :) I enjoyed so much that in the new art he has an armor that resembles the old art. So beautiful, so flavorful. It was a joy working on this card. #mtg #MagicTheGathering #edh #mtgart #mtgalter

@AltersAlk That’s great!!

@RayDillon Girl! Olivia. 11 mos old now!

@MarkWintersArt HAHAH! I knew it. I've had that happen many... MANY times myself. Also congratulations on the baby, man. I didn't know. Boy or girl? Name?

@VerdantKing I couldn’t help myself hah

@The_RoguePyro I imagined something similar. If I can find the rejected sketch I’ll share it. I can’t remember if it has any useful info but I’ll look

@EthanFleischer @dimirjulie Yawgmoth was a blend of what I’d read in King’s Thran novel and bits of art I found researching for the Dominaria set. King described Yawgmoth as charismatic and Rebbec fell for him so I aimed for something that could fit that bill

@dimirjulie I assume that was all @MarkWintersArt!

Mons was also mentioned on a few other cards. 4/12

@CitrusInferno No phyrexian script in this one. It does point a bit to his exploits as a “healer”

@MarkWintersArt So with the phenomenal new Yawgmoth art, should I be holding my breath over what looks like suspiciously vertical writing near his right hand? Would Phyrexian script have even existed at the time? Is it even legible at high resolution?

I’m not saying I’m working on another Commander Playmats project and that this will hopefully be included, but I’m not not saying it as well. Great job @MarkWintersArt

@sckazinski @_SEV8 @jay13x Yeah, I tried to get some stuff in there without being too fan-service-y. There are probably a couple more nods in there

@_SEV8 @jay13x @MarkWintersArt And more! The negative space around him, in the window, is the shape of Yawgmoths mask. And he have a "Phi" shaped ornament on his belt!

@_SEV8 @jay13x He was a bit of a tool to be honest haha

@itsashlyperez /saVfa .Saa.,,kinda time NF

My cat did not want to be at the vet today. So he kept sticking his head in this trash hole. I died.
