[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9382020, member: 18"] Last time I tried scanning a video there was stuff I couldn't find, but I think I found most of it: The Halfling and I presume Aasimar ones are really nice! Cute and emotive in a good way that like, is relatable and makes sense in the setting. The dwarf one is dumb as a box of rocks for the reasons I stated above - it's not too cute but it is like, done by someone who didn't even think about the realities of the situation. You could totally tell the same story in a much better way in a single art piece. The elf one is unexpectedly awful given elves are normally a slam-dunk. Like, it's not good art even, esp. compared to the others. And it also makes the elves look like twerps, just pompous berry-coloured humans with pointy ears, which seems mean when none of the other ones make the people involved look like twerps! And it doesn't have a story or much energy like the others. The human one I really like because it's well-observed and it tells a story. At least I presume those are humans. The guy holding his head is great. The Goliath one is good and actually even feels very Goliath-y with them all working together and lifting something real heavy. The Orc one (I dunno if it's in here, I couldn't find it if so, but I've seen it elsewhere) is... just... it's not trying hard enough. But it's a classic D&D art failing "I overly literally translated real-life historical culture/dress X into D&D", so it's nothing new. And it's ten times better than the elf one! So there's that! I didn't see any Tiefling or Dragonborn one. Or I think Gnome. Unless what I thought were Halflings were Gnomes. [/QUOTE]
