Daily Art Preview

[lutecius]

the art is alright, even if the composition is a little bland, much better than Horsley's orcs anyway.

Now i want sexy. I don't care about skeletons, stirges or ropers, I want more dragons and fiends.
I WANT THE SUCCUBUS!

I gotta say, that pic takes me back to 1E/2E days. Still got that Dragon mag loaded with Undead of all stripes on one of these shelves somewhere. Blazing Bones, Dry Bones, Collossus... nice to see some of that stuff sort of working it's way back into the game.

I like the skeletons a lot. It's very hard to make skeletons visually compelling, but Horsley has managed it well.

 

[Gargazon]

My guess on the skeletons, from left to right:

Skeleton Warrior, Boneshard Skeleton, Blazing Skeleton, Decrepid Skeleton.

Not sure if i like the Pigpen dustcloud on the Decrepid Skeleton. Looking like it is in bad shape is fine, but it probably should not be grinding its own bones to dust.

I think I'll disagree with you a bit. It's the lucky artist that gets something like a skeleton for their assignment. While they might have been done many times I think they'll always be compelling since we as people will always have inate reaction to the classic visual of death. That's a strong building block for any artist to start from.

For me it's not a bad pic, certainly better than the 3e one IMO. I do think the setting is awfully well lit and doesn't really suite the mood of the monster depicted. I wish it was gloomier.



on a different note.

I haven't looked at teh daily art updates for the last week or so. I was surprised when I went back and looked at them today. Two of my favorites are monsters I'd always thought were kind of dumb, the stirge and the roper.

You mean her?

 

[Hussar]

I like the skellies. I've seen better, I've seen worse. I'd give it a 7 out of 10.

I agree that the image should be darker. But, then, if they go darker, you lose detail. There's a trade off to balance there.

 

[Teemu]

Skull lords... looks pretty nice. A decent from Vohwinkel. I like the three head thing it's got going on.
