None of the iconics are pierced.  No one is covered in spikes.  Of the iconics that are wearing armor, that armor certainly looks functional to me (see Jovan, Tordek).  Perhaps I could understand the anti-3E art arguments better if they appeared to have some substance to me.  The art in the equipment chapter is pretty terrible, but most people's objections seem to be focused on the character art, which to me doesn't look appreciatively different that what has always been in D&D - except perhaps that it's more detailed now.  And just about anything's better than the race & class illustrations that were in the final version of the 2E PHB.I've been through all the editions of D&D.  Back in the old days I really enjoyed Bill Willingham and Earl Otus, and perhaps some others whose name I don't recall.  In the 2E days I loved Brom's work, and DiTerlizzi, and I liked Easley's paintings (Easley's 3E work doesn't look that great, though).  I think Lockwood and Wood are easily as good as any D&D artist that has come before, and I really dig Wayne Reynold's work too.</blockquote>
