[QUOTE="oreofox, post: 7866234, member: 6776240"] All the art in the first post with the 5e full-page images are all well made, and I can see why some would like it and why WotC paid probably quite a bit of money for them. The artists that made those paintings are very skilled/talented people, and that skill is greatly shown in the images they created and you posted in the OP. You seem to be fixated on the "hot garbage" comment while ignoring the rest of the words I typed. MY OPINION, which is my subjective view on the art and not an objective truth, is they are ugly and not pleasing to my eyes. I do not like looking at them, hence the "hot garbage". My subjective dislike of much of the 5e art does not mean you liking them is bad. You don't like WAR's art, I like numerous pieces he has made (while disliking numerous pieces such as how a lot of his people have no wrist or hand definition other than fingers and a thumb). You aren't bad for not liking WAR's art, just like I am not superior in liking it. Also, you are the one who seems to have the inability to seperate my opinion and tastes and recognition of objectively skilled work. I have posted 2 or 3 times now (including this post) that I KNOW the images are made by objectively skilled people, and it shows in the images that are in the PHB, MM, and DMG. I am not calling the artists unskilled hacks, because that would be a blatant lie. I am calling a large number of images "aesthetically displeasing", because they are aesthetically displeasing to my eyes. [/QUOTE]
