[QUOTE="SSquirrel, post: 5773735, member: 5202"] I'll pipe up in defense of WAR. I went to GenCon this year and I was looking around the artist area in the main room and I found Wayne in there. Extremely nice and he had a lot of art I really like. Sadly, I didn't have the cash for the Lord of Blades Eberron cover (it was an original), but I did get prints of the 4E PHB, Eberron Player's Guide and a Drow Swashbuckler girl from Dungeon (I think). He had a discount on 3 pcs and the Eberron and Drow were the last copies he had at the Con. I like his art and I have no problem with more of it in the next edition. Is the dungeon punk a bit goofy? Sure, but I'd rather see dungeon punk than anime schoolgirl designs. I find the calls for realism in a magic setting kind of amusing, but I can definitely get behind getting rid of the ridiculous Cloud and Tidus sized weapons. A more realistic take on the art ala 2nd Ed, but keeping demons and not being as buttoned up as that edition was overall could be fine. I'm generally ok w/the different editions art. It's all about a time and place. The Gnome Bard from 3.5 is still one of my favorite Gnomes ever....besides "I'm a Monster, RAWR!" :) [/QUOTE]
