An interesting art comparison

[Hussar]

Was sauntering thought the WOTC board and noticed this article in the Alumni section. It compares the pictures of various demons and devils through the editions.

I thought it made for an interesting comparison. On one hand, I think the Vrock got shafted, on the other, manes are just WAY cool looking now. That's what a demon SHOULD look like.

Hmm. Maybe DCS' art wasn't so bad after all.

Gonna lose my geek license for this, but, DCS?

David C Sutherland III, the guy who did most of the 1E pics (balor, nalfeshnee, succubus, etc).

I still think 1E Jubilex looks best.

Trampier rocked.

Oh bugger, as soon as I read the name I knew who you meant. Gark. Brain fart.

I have to admit, that even after all these years, my Fiend Folio still has some of the best DnD art out there. ((I mean the original one, not THAT one. ))

"Hey everybody!"
"Hey Glabrezu Nick!"

(Insert gratuitous Simpson's quotes here)

I'm sorry, but that is the most friendly fiend i've ever seen.

Oof, that one does look bad. But compare the pics:

Now that's an improvement.
