I dunno. I've never been a fan of stuff like this. I mean, yeah, it's a chick and, yeah, it's not a bad face, but it's also not depicting Thalia. It's depicting face.

Thalia, Spellhate Waifu

The art is not bad, but it does not "tell a story" the way other cards do.

I prefer some of the sketches.

This art makes her look like another shallow selfie whore who tries to show off her new sword instead of the strong soldier/leader vibe the original art had.

Is that her facebook wall pic ? :)

I think she looks amazing.

hahahah thats soo true!!

normaly i dislike computer generated art, but i like this thalia :)

This card can proudly take its place next to pre-release emrakul and DCI gitaxian probe in wizard's ugly promos hall of fame.

I'm generally a fan of Argyle's work, but again---it's a nice face..where's the rest of her?

EDIT: Super high Res shot of the art of Argyle's tumblr shows a reflection of Avacyn in her eyes. Fuck thats actually boss

Calling the card ugly is a vast overstatement.

It's a good art, just not fitting the card.

I like the concept--a closeup like this is something that we don't really have on many (any?) Magic cards. While it's neat to have this different type of perspective on the card, it's a bit too close up in my opinion. I don't need the whole body or anything, but it really should have been zoomed out a bit.

Mayael was much worse as a closeup Artwork

My roommate said it should've had a reflection of Griselbrand in her eye with one tear coming down her cheek

Looks like a decapitated head shot from an anime pr0n playmat. Buy a set foil if you want a foil pokemagic deck other wise you are just faking it.

Mayael's art was actually depicting something important (her eyes). This is literally just qt+sword.

Steve Argyle and Jason Chan are my top two artists. This and Mayael the Anima aren't my favorite but I wouldn't call them terrible. I'm starting to appreciate this card the more I look but I agree it lacks action.

I disagree with this not showing the true Thalia.

The focus radiates from here, like a true guardian. Her eyes shows an enormous amount of dedication, I feel like.

Strange art.
I like Mayael more.

Cloud, you finally met your sister.
