Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kris" data-source="post: 3633419" data-attributes="member: 3745">The topic is kind of a crossover, as it was originally posted about D&D trying not to look medieval (i.e. medieval subject matter not actually medieval style illustrations)... but yeah... I know I was on a bit of a rant about the other stuff - but hopefully it got across my own D&D preferences, so that it's a little clearer what type gamer I am (which then influences the style of artwork I would prefer to see).Like I said, I really like most of the images that come out of WotC (even if it's not the style/subject matter I would choose to portray D&D with if I was in the control seat), and I would say that (to me) their style has a very 'comic book art' feel to it (and high-end comic book art at that).But if you look at how many comic book characters have made it onto the big screen recently, and then consider how they had to change the costumes of some of the characters to make them less silly-looking or more practical in real life - then that's the kinda thing I'm getting at (i.e. have them look practical in the first place <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=":)" /> ).So, for me, I would just prefer it if things looked somewhat realistic (i.e. no 80's-style chainmail bikini's, or the current obsession with armour spikes that would have your own eye out) - whatever 'style' of artist they use ...though that obviously leans less toward some of the over-the-top anime/comic styles.<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=":)" /></blockquote>
