Actually, the 5e demons and devils in the monster manual are some of my favourites. I think actually most of the art in the monster books/sections are quite high quality.
In general I agree with you, but I think there are some clunkers too.Actually, the 5e demons and devils in the monster manual are some of my favourites. I think actually most of the art in the monster books/sections are quite high quality.
Oh the subjectivity of art. I really quite like the look of the sphinx. The gnoll artwork is definitely excellent. They managed to get a crazy look in their eye.Again, very hit and miss for me. The gnolls? Great. The Sphinx? Meh.
Oh there definitely are a few there that I think aren't very good, but on the whole I think it is filled with a lot of really well done artwork.In general I agree with you, but I think there are some clunkers too.
Well it’s easy when it’s objectively true statements!Aw, jeez. Y'all are no fun. This is the internet.
If you don't like something, it is garbage. Trash. Probably even a dumpster fire. If you like something, it is the greatest of all time.
Here's an example of how you are supposed to do it:
Nicolas Cage is not just a good actor, but, perhaps, the greatest thespian that American has ever produced; he is akin to the perfection of Paradise Lost; something so perfect it might as well close out the artform forever.
Wayne Reynolds, on the other hand, is a pox upon this country. His so-called art is like the unloved child of Rob Liefeld's discarded anatomy studies and Bob Ross's "angry cloud" period. He couldn't draw a straight line if you spotted him a pencil and a straightedge, and his characters have more unneeded bad spikes than a Buffy fan cosplay convention.
See? That's how you do it!
Its been a while since I looked through the whole book, but that is my recollection as well. However, there are definitely some pieces I am not found of. I really don't like the 5e pit fiend for example.Edit: Actually, after a quick perusal, I'm not sure if there are any that I would consider really bad. There are some that are of better quality than others, but on the whole, I don't see any terrible art in there.
