Christopher Rush was one of the original artists for Magic: The Gathering who provided the illustration for some of the game’s most iconic cards including the Black Lotus, Lightning Bolt, Junun Efreet, Ihsan’s Shade, Tormod’s Crypt, and Chronatog. He also worked on the design for the game’s card back and mana symbols. He died in 2016 at the age of 50.

Made with 101 MtG card arts by him pre-Kamigawa (his style changed enough with the new frames I excluded them), plus the promo Mewtwo card by him.

I’ve long held that style parody is one of the most fun uses of text to image software, but I don’t really see the point of making styles for single active independent artists since you could (hypothetically) still commission them, which takes a big enough layer out of the “joke” of having “foreign” characters drawn in their style. As Christopher Rush is unfortunately deceased and will not be posting new work, and his style is so iconic of early Magic: The Gathering I feel there’s more of a “point” to this one.
