I absolutely love them all, just a little less the earth one, that spoil a bit the general level of awesomess of the others.

I side to the ones that ask two different arts between upgraded and not: would be a pity waste one of the designs. .

Maximum respect at the drawers!   ;D ;D ;D

I really like VRT's pillars.  Some of the others are good or okay too but, there are several I quite dislike. Emerald, Sapphire, Burning, and Aether all are close up shots of designs on near solid backgrounds.

I love the sense of space VRT's pillars have. It feels like something you would be able to see for miles around or that would jut out of the landscape suddenly. The ones that don't have a sort of perspective just don't look like pillars at all to me. Maybe good spell art but just simply not pillars.

I hope we don't see these come into the game because thematically Pillars need to feel like actual structures in actual spaces, not abstract.

I really do love this art but the earth pillar is too much like Dragon Ball Z hard to choose when there's two new choices though

My only complaint is with Stone Pillar 2. I think instead of a stalagmite structure, the Stone Pillar should have a more constructed, foundational earthy look. The Earth element is all about solid structure and durability, so I personally think a pillar that looks more massive, towering, and steadfast would better represent what Earth needs.

I really agree with everything except for Sapphire Pillar and with an added Earth 2 and  to your list. I really don't want to see them in game.

I think all the new pillare are amazing minus the fire and aether which are fine but they are no where near the others in terms of awesomeness.

I really like the ones that have some sort of earthy scene in the background.  The ones that have a plain background would be better with something more in the background.

 :gravity:life, and  :fire look more like mark cards than pillars.  Even  :aether to an extent, although it sorta fits the aether theme.

Aw, CB! and others said most of what I wanted to say... but I'll do it anyways since I typed it out before reading.

I think some elements missed the point. Light, Stone, and Bone pillars have beautiful backgrounds that blend in with the theme and add a statement about the power of the towering pillars. While Burning, Emerald, and Aether have amazing art as well, the generic one colour background and stubby short look has the opposite effect about their might and sheer size compared to their classic version.

The latter look more like marks than anything. Classic pillars have a forest background while marks have a one colour background and round shape like the new Life, Fire, and Aether pillar art has. I don't think they fit as pillars but I really do hope the artist gets a chance to make a set of mark cards.

Is there any Quantum and Time pillars will get new updated art too?

Who cares what they look like as long as they look awesome.

Many of them don't actually look like pillars. That's my main concern.
