Description
Villeneuve began illustrating professionally in 2006. As she did not receive any formal artistic training, her first commissions were for book covers from small publishers. After reading Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, her "goals changed": she abandoned her ambition to work as a Disney animator in favor of fantasy illustrations. Discovering one day in a library that Fantasy Flight Games published a book of A Song of Ice and Fire illustrations, she sent her portfolio to the company, netting her her first commission from the American game company. From this partnership, she worked on illustrations for a number of different trading card games, board games, and role-playing games set in several different fantasy worlds.
In 2012, after several years of experience illustrating card games for Fantasy Flight Games, Villeneuve began contributing illustrations to Wizards of the Coast for Magic: The Gathering cards. She has since gone on to work with several other publishing and video game companies, including Cygames, Random House, Del Rey, and Titan Publishing Group, for which she produced illustrations for Star Wars. Villeneuve has also created two art covers for Dungeons & Dragons sourcebooks.
In 2022, Villeneuve's work was highlighted in the April Superdrop 2022 Artist Series: Magali Villeneuve for which she also contributed to the flavor text.[2]
