The word "veteran" does not have a strictly military application.I know. it is just a weird way to say "old fans."
Unless of course you are implying they survived the Edition Wars...
Again. Wow. Really? Rosy? Watch the Greg Tito intiview with him. He’s almost giddy.I cannot possibly see it from that rosy a perspective, but then I far preferred his original style. I don't generally even care about RPG art, but his old stuff was an exception.
Perhaps, but the primary reason would very much be marketing once I became aware that his art style has changed.I mean if you were art directing a new planescape book wouldn’t you pull out all the stops to work with Tony?
Him being happy about it doesn't change why WotC would hire him, or the fact that he no longer resembles his style from the last time he worked on D&D (said style being a big reason why Planescape is well-remembered).Again.

I invite you to reacquaint yourself with that art. You can easily see that his art was evolving throughout the publication of Planescape, and you are clearly making more of the difference than is warranted. The sketchy, angular stuff you are lamenting was literally just the first year.Him being happy about it doesn't change why WotC would hire him, or the fact that he no longer resembles his style from the last time he worked on D&D (said style being a big reason why Planescape is well-remembered).
"My opinion about your opinion (and, by extension, about you as a person) is no less legitimate than your opinion about a thing" overlooks the fact that it's not about legitimacy; it's about the fact that passing judgment on other people, as opposed to things, is a crappy thing to do.Yes, that is exactly the same thing as criticizing criticism and the attitude behind it.
Just did. None of that stuff resembles the work he's doing now as far as I'm concerned, and I never "lamented" the loss of anything more specific than "the work he did on Planescape". Your claim about the "sketchy, angular stuff" is not something I said.I invite you to reacquaint yourself with that art.

Maybe not infer this into posts that in no way say this and everything will be better?(and, by extension, about you as a person)
