Completely off-topic but I love your profile picture(that Ursaring is one of my favourite cards of all time). Where is it from, if you don’t mind me asking?

Thank you very much. This is probably the best outcome, and I’m very happy to see that TPCI is making an effort. I fear tho, that with the death of nuance, the internet will find the artist a ripe target for attack, to stroke egos and inflate self-worth. I wish people would more vehemently shame that. Artists have it hard enough as it is… Especially right now. I feel terrible for them as well, their trust in TPCI being betrayed, a little.

No prob! as someone who has followed Sie since her work on MTG (I don’t play but do look at card art to pick up ones I like, which I why I love secret lairs when Wizards isn’t price gouging) I was very interested to find out what happened.
I fear the whole “guilty by association” may be something she will suffer from as well.
I wish people would be shamed for that behavior as well.
A lot of the attacks from various platforms have been overly harsh and self serving.
Speaking of the death of nuance:
Most people attacking her don’t even know she’s a woman. Like if you don’t know use the artist, or their work or them (as you did) etc, if you are uninformed. But nope lol people just decided she’s a guy and that it’s time to dig in.

Happened a few years ago on various MTG cards. Artists using fan art and copy-pasting it together in new poses with some own additions. The reasoning of the artist; to much work load, to little time to do proper art work. And obviously it is a result of the explosive growth TCGs are having in release schedules and set sizes.

I can’t see any self-respecting artist who wants a career or to be seen as professional, copying other’s artwork. The whole POINT is to create. I get the stress and vigor. That’s why I quit. I must admit, it’s a very hard and impactful decision to make. But still… Stealing peer’s work?

I’m sorry, did you just low key admit to drawing art for a TCG?
hehe. No, I was a performing artist, and hated having to create other people’s visions on their schedules just to pay my bills.
