Eberron Art Gallery

What can I say? Great art all around. The comic book style rocks.

I think that art page has actually put me off buying the book.

Yeah, the art is great, and Walker's homage to Mignola (big Hellboy fan here) has a resonance with me that works. In fact, I kind fo like that approach more than the slightly goofy exaggerated "detail" portraits common in most WOTC books.

This books' art and production is probably the highest quality I've seen, ever. I've been delighting in my inability to find typos, too. Very rare that a game book gets by without typos.

I *love* the art of Eberron--especially the full-page 'comic book action panels'.

My favorite pieces are Kev Walker's homages to Mike Mignola

I thought that's the style that Kev Walker always draws in (not including his painted work)?

It's sad that comic art is still viewed as a "lower" art form. Oh well.

There's some very pretty images, but the comic-book style illos really put me off. Yuck.

To each his own.

In my opinion, Kev Walker is the new hotness:

This isn't my favourite but it really seems to say 'Surprise!'

I wonder how the distinction between the crowd correlates to does like anime or does not like anime.

Me, personally, I don't like anime too much, altho I'm not opposed to it or anything. Same with the comic art. It's ok (I totally like it with Mutants & Masterminds, BTW, where it fits perfectly), but I prefer the other artist's styles (like the pictures in the Monster Manual) for a fantasy setting.

Anyways, the art (comic or not) is surely of a high quality.

Yes! Kalman Andrasovfsky is in another major product!

Woo! More than just portraits! Action shots!

Best-looking WotC RPG book to date.

All the comic book like pages come with actually comic book like text panels, but with no speech balloons though. It certainly seemed to be the thing they wanted to use with the whole pulp-like setting and all.

Still I agree that a lot of the pictures looked better in the previews when they were just drawings. But overall the art does give the campaign setting its own unique style. Though I would have liked to see that picture of whatever that tentacle-headed thing the inspired was riding back in the previews.
