learnt something today which you may want to sticky in the Rumor Mill section of the forum:
- Artists don't necessarily know whether their art has been used in a new Magic set. Often, the first time they hear about their work being used on a new card is by seeing it on Twitter as part of spoiler season (and at that point, they would have created the artwork in question perhaps 2 years previously).
- it's a simple and generous act to tag artists on social media when their art gets spoiled on new cards. There are other ways they could be notified as well, although that's often the quickest and lowest-effort way.
can we have this idea be part of the spoiler season messaging on the forum? Many users here are active on social media and would gladly tag artists in a post or a retweet if they knew about this issue.
it would be great to see those artists not only be part of the conversations and excitement of a new set, but also be considered as valued enough by the players that we are 'looking out for them' in a small way. Simple gesture, could go a long way.
just my two cents on this =)
