Sure, they are great pieces of art, and I appreciate the pictures as individual pieces, but the knights in the first image all look a little too uniform for my liking (but what do I know <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ), and the second one portrays exactly the kind of 'feel' that I myself am not too fond of.For me (and I would like to emphasise the 'me' in that... it's purely 'IMO') I really do not like magical airships, PC's riding dinosaurs, half-drow/half-dragon ninja PC's, crystal castles among the clouds, teleportation travel, resurrections aplenty, 300 monstrous races all living within a 3 mile radius, outlandish armour, and all that kind of stuff.I admit that I may be in the minority, and that to some folks these elements are what makes D&D what it is - but it's just not to my taste (so why am I playing D&D I hear you ask <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ). However, I wouldn't try to convince someone that my way is right or their way is wrong, just as I would not try to convince someone that the music I listen to is superior to the stuff they listen to... it's simply my own take on things.So I'm happy for the art to take whatever direction they feel represents their (by that I mean WotC's) vision of D&D, and I'll continue to portray my own D&D campaign world in the way that I feel represents it best. Sure, it would be great if those two 'visions' matched exactly (well it would be great for me - perhaps not for everyone else <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ), but they don't - but it's no big deal as no-one is forcing me to imagine things in a certain way <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
