Core books cover art

Scroll.....so busted.

Spoiler your pics!

I generally dig Reynolds work a lot, but that PHB cover is pretty weak. I'd rather see a whole five-character party (human, elf, dwarf, halfling, and tiefling?) venturing into the unknown, and with less obnoxious female character design than this cover displays.

I like his Osprey work a lot better.

Tattoos! Piercings! Anime!

Big enough?

Damnit, the rogues armour has cleavage... why? WHY!? I really liked that picture before I saw that larger version... Is sensible armour to much to ask for

Edit: On an unrelated note, is that a gnome or a halfling? The rogue that is..

Personally, given the tidbit from Brazil and the fact the reaction to the PHB cover release has been profoundly and almost unanimously negative, I assume we'll be seeing a new cover in the works.

Everybody happy?

Maybe more people should create faux covers. When GURPS 4th Ed was announced, a huge number of people said 'Looking forward to it, but day-um them's some ugly covers'. So SJG said 'You think you can do better, show us'. Several did, and they used one of the user-submitted designs, or heavily based the trade dress on his design.

*shrug*

Still prefer the devil-themed cover---but on the off chance WotC heeds the 'outcry' and goes with "ol' predictable" here, I can only hope they don't slap a fig leaf on that poor rogues chest.

(But then again, I work in graphic arts---I see enough 'art by committee' as it is).

Holy crap! I'll say so. Are the covers of the Core Books that big? It'll be tough finding a D&D logo big enough now...

I really like the green dragon. I generally favor the older art styles, but for some reason, I don't mind WAR at all, esp. with an old-school theme like this. I don't see any rainbow mohawks for face-piercings in this picture, so I have no complaints.

Oh man, you're right. I was just about to say that I really like that picture until I saw your post and looked at it more closely. Damn.

Well, aside from the gratuitous cleavage and the nose-spike, I still really like it. Predictability notwithstanding, it's just a much better piece of art than that horrible armored-streetwalker-and-horned-wizard one.
