[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 8729504, member: 85555"] Fee points about art. You don’t need computers to do realistic art (plenty of photo realistic art is handraen). I think computers can actually make some art worse. Not all art needs to be photorealistic to be good. There were ample photorealistic art covers for fantasy novels from the 80s on that looked realistic but failed to inspire or lacked a distinct style. Personally, and this is just taste, I prefer a lot of older gaming art: Brom, Caldwell, Fabian, pre-2000. Nothing wrong with new art or art that uses new tech logo. Great new stuff too but I am a little baffled by the claim that there wasn’t any good art prior to 2000 or so (and I am assuming this argument applies only to gaming art because if it doesn’t the claim is utterly absurd) [/QUOTE]
