[MtG] [FNM] Path to Exile

This art is way, way better than Guay's. I never understood the hype for her. All of her art looks like glass paintings, and IMO, it's pretty offputting.


It's a polarising style, as proved by the fact that for every person who loves her, there's someone who hates her.

I personally love seeing a bit of variety, so having artists like Nils Hamm, Terese Nielsen and (back then) Rebecca Guay were brilliant: besides, it shows the confidence of a good art director to be featuring stylistic anomalies in Magic sets.

It's not that I hate her, I just think she gets a lot of hype for simply being "different" from other artists.

I'm pretty happy with that being a reason for the hype. If you have a distinctive style, and people think it's a nice style, you're bound to get more publicity. Magic spends so much time building coherent worlds, that it is simply bold to be an artist that is different. Beyond that, I'm just a general fan of her work. The super stylised look really worked for Lorywn/Shadowmoor.
