Magic: The Gathering
Since Sphinx's Disciple in Born of the Gods, 2014: more than sixty published cards across a decade of collaboration with Wizards of the Coast, spanning constructed-format staples, planeswalkers, and world-building concept work across Amonkhet, Zendikar, and beyond. Culminating in a dedicated Secret Lair Artist Series: four cards, one complete narrative arc.
Wizards of the Coast invites select artists to conceive, curate, and narrate their own Secret Lair drop, choosing the cards, creating the art, and writing the connective story. In Wizards' own words: "Ryan is known for telling stories with his art."
A selection of published illustrations across a decade of sets, from Born of the Gods in 2014 onward. Spanning constructed-format staples, planeswalkers, creatures, spells, and token art across multiple planes and story arcs.
Beyond published card illustration, early-stage concept and world-building work contributed to the visual development of Amonkhet and Zendikar: Eternals, deity designs, headdress class systems, and environmental exploration, developed during on-site art sprints at Wizards' Renton studio.
