Got to be Silvia... the face in the crowd art is amazing

[LucienofShadow]

To be honest I'm torn between the top three on the list.

The trick is, some of what makes Bentley and Kenfoo so great is the flavor text. Then again, to some extent that's true for Zi Jian.

[Great White Nothing]

Got to be Silvia... the face in the crowd art is amazing

I second that opinion, probably the best art from 1st Edition, although Bipolar Sacrophyle is a close contender.

[Osion]

I like Sneaky Mansion the most, followed by Pervasive Bodyguard and Face in the Crowd

[Kallen000]

Silvia Hands Down Woot!

Face in the Crowd and.... Carnival King two of my favorite artists work in the entire set.

I think Bladefist Doomwing is the best piece of art. And I got to meet Kenfoo at SoCal. He's da man!

[LucienofShadow]

If you see him again, say that I'm sorry about the ice cream. I really am.

My favorite is Kenfoo. I have the Mansion as my current wallpaper (I got high resolution images of a bunch of cards for use in Athena; yes, the Athena card images were given to me by Tenacious), and I also love the Ectypal Stave. The little dialog bubbles coming out of the Stave ("15x" and "3x") crack me up for some undefinable reason.

Silvia Gunarso. Hands down.

I wonder if she's a hottie. :spade:
Oh Silvia... *drool*

[haoyong]

I'm actually going to go with FangWei. The art on Spiky Atlasphere is absolutely great - it conveys the effect of the card without saying a word, and it makes you smile.

[ShadowScythe]

I had to pick Kenfoo. For I too have a hard time comming to terms with eating iced cream. :(

[thescragman]

Oh Silvia... *drool*

I do believe that Silvia can be a guy's name too.

Henry Gunawan gets honorable mention for the phallic symbols on Bask Bomb.

Is that a very used Spiky Atlasphere????

[LucienofShadow]

It's one of my Spiky Atlasphere's after I've won a game.

[painted_klown]

I am rolling with Kenfoo on this one. Sneaky Mansion cannot be beat!:p

[LucienofShadow]

Alright, maybe I just liked Bentley because of the flavor text... that is awesome flavor text.

[Knightmare13]

While Face in the Crowd is freaking awsome prob the best, I just really like Keny's work. Face ROX though.

[JayDubbs]

It is all about Steve Bently for me. He can draw a one-eyed monster swatting a toddler and I feel good looking at it. That takes skill.

[J Caster]

I vote Silvia Face really is too good.


However I was torn from a very hairy man ass.

[DanRksm]

i love so many of the artist series cards,
FangWei was my choice, his pics are awesome.

[Scrab]

uhm hairy man butts FTW.

Kenfoo all day every day kids.
