| About 3rd editions artwork, I didn't like it either, but couldn't put my finger on why at first. It was the lack of action scenes. It seemed like everything was either a portrait, a pose or cut outs around the character (see Lidda shooting the crossbow bolt into the ogre's head). There was hardly any full page pictures, and when there were it was usually the heroes posed like they were about to fight, but rarely showed what they were fighting. I think that's why a lot of people liked Eberron, lots of dynamic art, with great covers.
It might also explain why more people like the Pathfinder Iconics more than the D&D ones. Pathfinder usually has their Iconics depicted in the midst of battle, not posing before the battle begins
