Fine, but then it belongs in a game dedicated to fairy tale imagery such as Changeling the Reverie where the art looks like that because it is well a  game with that vibe. IMO there is nothing particularly fairy tale about Planescape core D&D or any other D&D setting for that matter. Fairy tales are a genre within fantasy tales, but fantasy overall is not fairy tale.I believe that including art that is so stylistically attached to a style outside of the overarching look of heroic, high fantasy is to change the entire sense of the setting and shift in that direction. I don't believe that most DMs and players consider their games to have much of a fairy tale setting outside of having some fey in it.I guess considering this, I would say that DiTerlizzi's work is simply more suited to a game or setting with a fairy tale feel or maybe a setting with the feel of the movies Dark Crystal or The Labyrinth (with David Bowie), or the Neverending Story. I enjoyed these movies very much but I see D&D as havine more in common themetically with Sinbad, Conan, Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit, Beowulf, and others than it has with these movies.Chris</blockquote>
