[QUOTE="drnuncheon, post: 319121, member: 96"] I don't usually notice the art unless it was really good or really bad. I noticed a lot of art in the ELH. Epic Tordek - wonderful. Epic Ember (that [i]is[/i] supposed to be Ember, right?) - awful. The PHB illo looks tougher than that. Epic Blackguard - superb. Epic Assassin - looks like he's going to bore you to death talking about the Epic Accountant he plays in his Papers & Paychecks campaign. Divine Emissary - pretty decent. Union Sentinel - looks like a 2nd level warrior. Maybe 3rd. Epic ride - this is probably my least favorite picture in the whole book. Where the heck is the drama, the action? I could see that in real life at the flippin' circus, and the chick would be half dressed, too. Yeah, I know the skill usage is 'stand on mount' but jeez, at least try to make it [i]look[/i] epic! How about someone standing on the back of their mount as it rides through a cluster of giants, letting her behead them with her [i]vorpal holy avenger[/i]? Now that would have been cool! And what's up with 'I coulda had a V-8' on page 75? Personally, I think my favorite 3e artist is the underrated and often ignored Arnie Swekel. I love his 'sketchbook' pages that form the backdrops for the chapter introductions, but they seem to get overlooked in favor of the flashier artists like WAR.
