I really hate being negative towards artists, but does anyone else feel like a lot of the recent card art looks rushed? I don’t know what it is, but it’s like the faces look too smooth and 3D. Not like actual pictures. Just compare this to the original [[Massacre Girl]] and it feels rushed (although different artists, so styles can certainly vary).

I got similar vibes from [[Gimli, Counter of Kills]] and [[Rankle and Torbrand]] recently, just to name two cards off hand.

It’s not the artists, because the same artists who I see cards that I think look bad have old card art that looks fantastic. I get the feeling that Wizards is asking artists to produce so much work that we aren’t getting the time put into a single card’s art that we used to and getting more rushed art.

Maybe it’s just me. I’m curious what others think.
