[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 7865017, member: 83242"] What do you think of the images posted in this thread? Of all the editions I think 5e as the best art represented in the full page spreads. Also, i think the red dragon image is the best and the storm giant is on par with 1e IMO (as the 2 best). I also really like the carrion crawler and the pit fiend is acceptable. I prefer the 3e minotaur the best and probably the 1e or 3e pit fiend (really don't like the painterly style of the 5e one). I also think the 5e medusa is the best though the 1e image reminds me a Clash of the Titans. I guess I can understand not liking certain pieces and that turning me off to an "edition" of art, but this projects has pretty much convinced me that 5e has the best art of any edition. I mean it is right here in this post PHB, DMG, & MM. I didn't know what the result would be when I started this and I was honestly surprised how much better, IMO, the 5e art was than the previous editions. However, what is has also made me realize is that some of the best art of previous editions was not in the core books. [/QUOTE]
