EDIT: This the first time my post hit the frontpage. But this is about the artist and all the awe and support you have shown to him is amazing. Thank you imgur.

His effort really shows.
DorianHyde92
Inalways thought a lack of color perception would lead to a better understanding of light and shading

It's fascinating cos it's not like he doesn't have a colour sense, he just has a different palette to the general audience he's creating 1/
TychoTychoAlba
for, and that could be a part of why his work is so distinctive. 2/2
HaveYouEverEverFletLikeThis
I hope he gets those colourblind sunnys and can see his beautiful colourful drawings
Woolytop
Oh hey, that Aurelia one is my desktop image.
Zixtank
In my opinion, his work could even come out better because of it.
aspen2
He probably spends more time thinking about colours and combinations than other artists do.
johnwilliams123
My husband is colorblind and he's starting his career as a filmmaker! Also I know some prominent artists in Hollywood are colorblind
FancyFeastAdvocate
I have the exact same color problems as him. It took me a long time to even know I had an issue. How do you classify this?
starrs3
I didnt check the title and was like "wow, has he done magic cards? If not he should. Lol"
Raydeeo
The last image have this slight colour variations I would imagine a colourblind person would oversee. I think it really adds to the painting
Raydeeo
.. in this case!
margarath
I have similar colour blindness to what he described. It's less that we see fewer shades, just that the brackets around them are different
margarath
Case in point: lots of red/yellow leaves in autumn (fall) still appear to be green to my eyes. But they're still a million shades of green.
bendaresall
Breathtaking work!
StellarJay77
I wonder if those special glasses for colorblind people would work for this artist. https://enchroma.com/
orleon
Beautiful work!! Love MTG. Arena is getting me through quaruntine
Henchman86
Hey these are Magic Cards!!! That’s amazing
Troyificus
As a colorblind person, I'm incredibly proud of my pigment-challenged brethren.
TurangaLeelaIsMyMom
A colorblind makeup artist. She used similar tactics to overcome the difficulties https://instagram.com/colorblindmua1?igshid=13h3h34v8s2ic
Anonymouspileofshit
I think the first art piece is ‘vaya’s ghostform’? Not quite sure though
GriffinMann41
tfw a colorblind, or at least partially colorblind person is still way more talented than I am. Oof.
narniasreal
I don't believe him that he got yelled at by teachers for painting sth. green yellow. Maybe he got told to change it and he found it [1/?]
narniasreal
embarrassing and his memories turned it worse over time. I can't imagine a realistic scenario where a teacher would YELL at [2/3]
narniasreal
someone "How dare you paint this yellow?!" Especially since art class is usually a joke. Nope, not buying it. [3/3]
BrohantasaurusRex
Oh, look at the Mr. Amazingly-Talented-And-Overcame-Adversity over here with his beautiful art! Hanging around mortals! 10/10 awesome stuff
Arkvoodle
Why so salty?
BozoThePie
It's ironic salt. A ferrous sulfate, most likely.
EpicMasterMan
Its just an imgurian dialect, a veteran knows he means well
BrohantasaurusRex
Truthfully, I’m not. Just realizing that artist has poured heart and soul into creating beautiful creations and I still have to find my
BrohantasaurusRex
Own passions to throw my soul into. It makes one think of where they are in life and what’s left to be done
SilentObserver01
Now that he points it out....I do notice a lean on browns and yellows.
sens22s
They all have amazing use of colour, but that last one is insane. How even? I wouldn´t know what colours to use and i can fucking see them.
rubypilgrim
Build composition first in black and white, then choose a limited palette. First shows you where light and shadow are, second makes color -
rubypilgrim
choices easy. Finally pull in dashes of reflected color. That's where you get purples and blues in dirt, and reds and browns in clouds.
rubypilgrim
That ties the whole work together. This guy is great!
EirikurDC
Meanwhile another colorblind genius made a camera to analyze the color he is looking at and play a tone to identify it. Augmented senses.
vanfem
Doesn't take a genius and overall unreliable stuff due to camera white balance and shit. Source: tried picking a ripe banana with one,
EirikurDC
I remembered it a bit wrong, it’s implanted in his head and vibrates at a frequency that corresponds to the color the sensor is looking at.

okay, *that's* impressive
PotatOSTheCreator
Ohhhhh MTG magic the gathering. I am big dumb. Thought it was just an internet digital artist, like works for commission. Was gonna say 1/2
PotatOSTheCreator
If he's worried people won't hire him from that... No way I'd commission d&d pieces. His art has some great vibes like that. But I doubt 2/3
PotatOSTheCreator
I could afford it then. Professional, MTG art- maker guy. Okay. Thnx 4 reading. Byeeee

Have a brown upward arrow!
Sepheroth9000
Wonderful.
agermanguy
Still a Good comment.
Psymon100
Looking closer, he really doesn’t use green at all!

ZOMGNO
I went to upvote the original and not only had I upvoted it last year, but I accidentally stumbled upon my own comment. Odd.
trigonman3
I've done that on YouTube. "Oh, this guy gets it!" Oh that guy is me.
ZOMGNO
Good that you still agree with yourself!
reitza9
Dudes colorblind and kicks the shit out of art. Nice!
benracu
Upvote because it’s mtg. Always loved the game and the art work, especially the art work.
Shineupordown
the game MTG Arena is awesome and makes it really easy to play !
MarleafChef
I used to live a few blocks away from the Wizard of the Coast building and always wanted to visit them. Stupid covid ruins everything.

...Except Drew Tucker, right? (This joke is brought to you by "an Ice Age ago")

I've got an eldrazi deck that absolutely destroys everything. The first few goes are a race to acquire as much mana as possible. It has some
toomuchkentucky
I have a mono blue eldrazi highlander with blue braids to cheat them in... turn 3 Ulamog is no joke
Krakencrotch
Desolation Twin, Breaker of Armies, Bane of Bala Ged. Am I warm?
YesYouJustLostTheGameAgain
The 3 times I’ve played my eldrazi deck were against 2 red land destroyer decks:( And a blue mill deck! Absolute nightmare!!
Krakencrotch
My eldrazi deck gets most mana from scions and artefacts, so bring on that red
joinusjoinusjoinus
My friend has a beast of an eldrazi deck. I even have a hard time with my pestilence demon deck against it.
TheHermitsHoard
I made a black devotion deck a while ago and I have been slaughtering my friends with it. Grey merchant is broken lol.
poets
...really high cost creatures and enchantments but if I can get them out they are almost impossible to counter.
1metalnation
I've got a green omnath EDH deck that is only green so I can immediately ramp fuck loads of mana. Then it's eldrazi time, on turn 3
BurntMomWarfare
I recently made a green and red deck that is unbeatable so far. I think it has the bottom pic of his art in it.
flarflarf
doing art digitally is possible for color blind people now because you can just ask photoshop what color something is and tell it to make it
mop82
You can also color shift the entire project so that the colors you can't see are now colors that you can see, then shift it back when done.
comacomacomacomachameleon
i knew a colorblind watercolor painter. He painted beautifully. Talented people make do.
gleely
as a colourblind person who likes to do art, it's not really that simple. It's also about composition, making sure things work together and
gleely
being able to mix colours to work for whatever subject you're doing. It makes it easier, sure, but it's still easy to fuck up bad with color
flarflarf
just a little redder.
Potatopeelerkind
You still need to be able to tell how much red is appropriate, though.
APerfectlyNormalPieceOfToast
This. You need to be able to tell if a composition will work from the RGB values
GadenKerensky
That's where constructive feedback is invaluable. You'd not just giving pointers, you're being someone's eyes.
YouSufferWithCognitiveDissonance
Tubes of paint these days are labeled IIRC
TacocatForwardsIsTacocat
LOL man i think i know what you were going for but this made me laugh so hard
sweetnaivety
yeah but when you mix them they don't relabel themselves with a new name or colour code
rollerskateorgies
Me: when I mix paint, I wish it would gently moan the name of its new colour Genie: there are four rules
