[QUOTE="ShinHakkaider, post: 5755536, member: 9213"] Unless you like the way Todd McFarlane action figures look... I dont get this, I dont play 4E but I do have the 3 core rulebooks which have Wayne R. art on the covers and inside them. I DO play Pathfinder and have a metric butt load of their products as well which also have Wayne R. art on thier covers and inside them. oddly enough I just peg him as a guy that does art for Fantasy RPG's not as a Pathfinder or 4E guy. There are plenty of other artists that work freelance for WOTC and Paizo. When I see an Eva Widerman piece in a WOTC book I'm not going to myself "oh she's ruining or tarring the Paizo brand by doing work for WOTC!!" It's just another great piece by her done for WOTC. Also more than likely for all the people who are griping about "dungeonPunk" (really guys?) maybe going some place new with the art isnt the best of ideas and it seems that some of the people complaining about this stuff dont like NEW. Personally I'm not a huge fan of the art in AD&D 1st and 2nd. Aside from a few Willingham (?) and Jeff Dee pieces in a few of the older modules, I found alot of that art pretty weak and uninspiring, to me anyway. And that includes some of the more highly praised Elmore pieces. Honestly, the things that got my imagination going, at least art wise were some of those older Dragon Magazine covers. There has been more than one time where I'd picked up a Dragon Mag based on the cover image alone. Alas, no more *Dragon Mag though so... *yes I know it's online as a series of articles. Yes I'm a huge fan of PDF's and electronic aides. Still it's not the same as seeing a hardcopy on the shelf of your LGS. Kobold Quarterly is a pretty good replacement though. [/QUOTE]
