[QUOTE="mhacdebhandia, post: 1738534, member: 18832"] I really like the artwork in the core rulebooks - not all of it is excellent, and I do miss some of the previous editions' more traditional artwork (one of my favourite books in the Nineties was [i]The Art of the Dragonlance Saga[/i]), but on the whole I like the visual style, including the character design, of Third Edition. That said, there are definitely terrible artists working for Wizards these days. I loath Crabapple with a burning passion, because he actively makes me dislike reading the books I've paid for. There are some other artists whose work I don't care for, but he makes me [b]angry[/b]. Plus I'm sad that Wayne A. Reynolds isn't doing more work in the "core" D&D books that are coming out, because he's my favourite Third Edition artist. Probably my favourite artist who's ever worked on D&D would be Tony DiTerlizzi, but I also really loved the Elmore-Caldwell-Easley trio back in Second Edition, and I wouldn't say no to a bit of that in Third Edition - especially if they [b]are[/b] going to do some more full-page pieces like in [i]Complete Warrior[/i], I'd like to see some [b]good[/b] artists working on them instead of whoever that joker was.
