JoeGKushner said:I'm reading Soverign Stone now and diggint Larry Elmore's art style thoughout the book. You don't get to see his b&w stuff too often these days unless you're buying sketbooks or other source material.
So as I was reading it, I was wondering if people still like the revered master. With new artists being used all the time at WoTC and other companies, especially things like Udon, or the guys from Iron Kingdoms, I'm just wondering if the market still appreciates the good old classics.
Elmore will always be the artist that defined D&D for me. His work on Dragonlance covers blew me away, as well as his covers for the Basic/Expert/Companion/Master boxes.
But, I haven't really enjoyed anything he's done over the last 5 years. The dragon covers left a lot to be desired, in my opinion.
So, I still revere the old classics. The new stuff from Elmore, not so much.
Cheers!
