@DaMullet The foxes are large, but it's true there are very few scale cues! Oakhame Ranger is one off the top of my head that shows human children for scale... assuming the kids weren't also shrunk by a spell.

@rpancoast_art Indeed! But you brought her to life :D

@kellydigges Almost! I named Ardenvale too, you named its pre-concept push placeholder predecessor. ;) You're still 3/2.

@depingo If I remember, my feedback on this piece was "this guy looks like he has great taste in music." I stand by that, and wonderful work, Anna!

Syr Konrad, the Grim for #MTGEldraine Despite being on the concept art team for #MTGELD I couldn’t do many cards for the set. Thankfully AD @SheppardArts made sure I’d at least get to paint one of the black knights, my spooky, flamboyant babies 🦇💀

@smelissali @indusconcept I love this, Mel!! Also I miss you!

(“Thief”? IDK these crowns just find me...) casual genderbend #mtgeld Oko, Thief of Crowns thanks @indusconcept!

@BaseJeleren Thank you so much! I don't know what other kinds of ancillary stuff might be coming out surrounding Eldraine, but there's definitely a deeper dive into the PWs in Kate Elliott's novel "The Wildered Quest."

@LawGuyBen It's true that I'm not very easy to get a hold of these days, and I'm sorry for that! Hopefully I'll get out to a show or two next year. Thank you for asking!

@kellydigges @MarkWintersArt Working with you is still one of the brightest highlights of my career. More than a year later I still have "what would Kelly do?" moments.

@Nietzschean_D They're monstrous after-images of Anje. I imagined her Falkenrath glamor falters when she isn't holding still.

@SheppardArts Hello Mrs. Sheppard! I'd like to ask you a question about a card of yours that was revealed recently, Anje Falkenrath. I like it (haven't been able to find it high-res yet, sadly), but I'm confused about what's happening behind her. Would you be so kind to explain?

@rpancoast_art *artistic growth

@rpancoast_art I love everything about this post. Artists growth IS a lifelong journey, and everyone's is unique, but taking a moment to look back and see what you've achieved is a powerful thing.

@kellydigges @rhineville It was also originally penciled in for a split card in Ravnica, but I wanted to save full-ghost Kaya for a bigger art box. ;) #WotCStaff

@NPapagianis All of the art cards are non-foil, but they have a slightly glossier finish than normal cards.

@SheppardArts To add another question to this: Is it possible for these to appear in a premiym foil variant or will they only be non-foil?

clips.twitch.tv/AbstemiousReal… #WotCStaff announced today: every pack of Modern Horizons will have an ART SERIES card! Here are some fun facts about these extras...

@ThomasLindsay53 @maro254 Thank you! (I always pass the bulk of credit along to the artists), but I was the set's lead art director, and creative lead @kellydigges wrote most of the art descriptions, along with contributions from me and Alison Luhrs. Amazing team.

@VorthosMike I'll pass this on to the whole team that worked on 'em!

@SheppardArts This is the coolest thing. Thank you for these. What a treat.

@MattJD_68 They're the same stock and size as regular cards, though you could totally put them in hard plastic sleeves and use them as card dividers of you wanted to :)

@SheppardArts Those are beautiful. By any chance are those card dividers? Not sure that would fit in a pack. But that would be awesome.

@MeanestLarva Product architect Mark Heggen wanted to find a way to do something that involved art instead of ad cards, so he and I + @kellydigges and others came up with a few ideas.

@SheppardArts What an amazingly cool collectible. Was this by chance inspired by the full art unstable tokens?

@Benny_Bubbles @jay13x Just artwork new to #MTGMH1.

@SheppardArts @jay13x So are they like card arts from Modern Horizons, or are they arts from other sets or are they some other art?

@rpancoast_art It was a great video (and you use Liquin, too!). Really fantastic way to shine a light on how much effort and care goes into Magic illustration.

@rpancoast_art There was so much disbelief at my desk when this piece came in that it was an oil painting. "You're lying! Show me the brushstrokes!" they said. So glad you captured it on video! Breathtaking work, Ryan. #WotCStaff

@HiIAmWeso If you collect all 54, I'd love to see how you display them! :)

@SheppardArts My inner art collecting crazy person absolutely loves you right now. My wallet however, weeps knowing what I will do to get them all.
