Thanks for the support 🙏🏻

Still madly in love with Professor of Symbology, glad I got an AP in Amsterdam

jasonrainville.bsky.social•79 days ago

Ahh thanks so much 🙏🏻💙

yulkradness.bsky.social•81 days ago

Masterpieces 🙏🏻❤️

soulu.bsky.social•81 days ago

And it's still as beautiful as ever. I miss your making of posts.

jasonrainville.bsky.social•80 days ago

Thank you!
I hope yo get back to them soon, lots of IRL stuff yo get through xD

rillant.bsky.social•81 days ago

So glad there's still artists like yourself working on Magic. And even happier that your stunning pieces grace commons as well, for us Pauper players. 😁

yaslongattiart.bsky.social•81 days ago

I love your art, it's great to see you here! I was reading your blog post about the first art yesterday 😆

cristianaleone.com•80 days ago

Stunning!

jasonrainville.bsky.social•79 days ago

Thank you!

madeleinefjall.bsky.social•81 days ago

That first illustration is such an inspiration. I can stare at it for hours!!

niakovalevski.bsky.social•81 days ago

So beautiful it makes me wanna cry... again🥹

connoralexander.bsky.social•81 days ago

Amazing work!

alvarojimenez.bsky.social•81 days ago

Top tier

oichico.bsky.social•81 days ago

Those are great! I love Professor of Symbology! Also checking scryfall I saw you did Persistent Petitioners and Ironcrag Pyromancer too!

I really enjoy finding out that some of my favorite game pieces were done by the same artist.

Thank you!

jasonrainville.bsky.social•80 days ago

Thank you!

vetozomer.bsky.social•81 days ago

My favorite painter at his best 💚

jasonrainville.bsky.social•80 days ago

Too kind 🙏🏻

jrobynbyers.bsky.social•81 days ago

Seedcore is of course amazing but honestly I’ve loved Chandra, Flamecaller ever since I first saw it and I don’t even play mono-red. The bismuth is gorgeously done

jasonrainville.bsky.social•80 days ago

That's pulling from the past!

I appreciate it, I loved working on Battle for Zendikar :)

fremen5.bsky.social•80 days ago

Your art feels so luxurious; the way light shines off of metal is pretty 🌟

aethergee.bsky.social•80 days ago

Top-left is one of my favourite Magic arts. Fun to find out it's from a fellow Ontarian!

sarahfinnigan.bsky.social•81 days ago

The character in those faces in that last one are very Norman Rockwell. They feel like real people in a way you don't see too often in fantasy art IMO. It's a great painting!

jasonrainville.bsky.social•80 days ago

That means a ton Sarah, thank you! Really put a lot of effort into that one

antonkromoff.com•81 days ago

That depiction of Menzoberranzan is fantastic. Truly amazing work there.

foxesforsale.bsky.social•81 days ago

I adore Storm the Seedcore, it's framed in my kitchen. But also wow the gith!!! They look radiant!!! I haven't seen that art before 😍

jasonrainville.bsky.social•80 days ago

Flattered and thanks for the support!

Well I should maybe boost that post again then :)

thoughtsideas.bsky.social•81 days ago

These are incredible

romainkurdi.bsky.social•81 days ago

Your art is such an inspiration ! Any advice on how to be hired as an illsutrator by Wotc ?

jasonrainville.bsky.social•80 days ago

These days it's tough to say. First they had an art drop, then got rid of it for a while... maybe now it's back?

Aside from whatever development of skill and portfolio you may or may not need, try finding the art directors on LinkedIn and uch

romainkurdi.bsky.social•80 days ago

Thank you for your response! They opened applications last year but it was a few months ago now and I haven't heard back(maybe I'm not good enough, simple as that, and that's all good). I've added ADs on linkedin but I've been too timid to message them most of the times. Maybe I'll try to do that!

jasonrainville.bsky.social•80 days ago

All else fails, studies to build up skills, practice to refresh the portfolio, and try again in the future:)

zarahartist.bsky.social•81 days ago

Love your work so much

aowna.bsky.social•81 days ago

Amazing! I love the way you draw faces!

axllive.bsky.social•80 days ago

This first one, of the war with Wrenn... God... This deserves a full frame in my living room

categerbasi.bsky.social•81 days ago

feel like since you did seedcore you lived up to it. that green dragon piece is awe inspiring.

jasonrainville.bsky.social•81 days ago

Well thank you 😊 it did certainly solidify what I want to make

vorueg.bsky.social•81 days ago

I like the teacher one. That's top tier

zoebadini.bsky.social•81 days ago

Once again here to admire them! 😁

theheraldo.bsky.social•80 days ago

Words cannot describe how much I love your art and every time you post how you work on them!! Stunning!!

Especially Storm the Seedcore, but I mean, look at it, everyone loves it!!

jasonrainville.bsky.social•80 days ago

Thanks so much Heraldo!!! I try :)

falleonwriting.bsky.social•81 days ago

Man that building from the third illustration is amazing

📌

gatwinder.bsky.social•80 days ago

Storm the Seed core is beyond amazing. So much power and beauty behind it. It was a great time reading your thread on the full process of it.

thehermitdruid.bsky.social•81 days ago

Hey Jason, i remember the conversation we had in Toronto and you told me you were doing some DND art and that you looked up some german fencing.

Praytell, is that top right one the one you were eluding to at the time?

jasonrainville.bsky.social•80 days ago

That's the one!!

Critique my Ochs please

iromonik.bsky.social•81 days ago

Wonderful pictures!

nearlyremy.bsky.social•81 days ago

The topleft illustration is hypnotising
Fantastic work 😍

istrandar.bsky.social•81 days ago

I think the world can't get too much *Storm the seedcore*

jasonrainville.bsky.social•80 days ago

Thanks so much man 🙏🏻

miragehat.bsky.social•81 days ago

I wish the storm the seed core art was on a multiformat staple so that more people around the world got to see it. It is truly such an inspiring piece of work.

jasonrainville.bsky.social•80 days ago

Sometimes I wish that too, but the relative obscurity of it as a card contrasted with the size of the response to it has its worth: the response it's gotten is 100% due to the art.

For someone who still struggles with imposter syndrome, that's a big boost :)

miragehat.bsky.social•80 days ago

I really like that way of thinking about it. Very happy for you. You deserve all of the praise and then some

oroborian.bsky.social•81 days ago

Always an inspiration! 😊

akanelogics.bsky.social•80 days ago

What an amazing job, Jason! I discovered your work through the first piece, and the way you build your references and each new one I see never stops surprising me. ❤️
