[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7796337, member: 22779"] Well, I guess my point is, I want the art to differentiate from Forgotten Realms. The Realms, for the most part in 5e art anyway, really nails down the whole "Faux Medieval" look. I mean, here's a shot from Dragon Heist - the Yawning Portal: [img]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4d/0d/8f/4d0d8f66b37e65d412b7eeee225e1d66.png[/img] No weird buckles or spikes or anything like that. The clothes are pretty solidly early Renaissance, and, throughout the module, the architecture and the art follows this style. If we do the same thing for Greyhawk, well, it's not really going to differentiate itself enough. Dark Sun and Planescape have been mentioned in this thread. While I am not a Planescape fan, I have to admit that it really, REALLY has a unique aesthetic. As does Dark Sun. You can pick up a picture from either setting and say, "Yup, this is a picture from [B]_[/B]". I think that if we go with the more "realistic" (you know what I mean) historical style art, then it's just going to look like Forgotten Realms. Greyhawk is WEIRD. There's bizarre stuff all over the place. Let the weird flag fly. [/QUOTE]
