Message: <blockquote data-quote="schneeland" data-source="post: 8484559" data-attributes="member: 6900337">Art is a large part of what draws me to a particular book. I sometimes also buy books without regard for the art, but then it's something I wanted to take a look at anyway (e.g. Whitehack 3e).However, my preferences regarding art style are probably a bit different from what you listed. Some favourites from newer books are:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">more or less everything from Martin Grip (Symbaroum, Coriolis, etc.)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">a number of pieces by Peter Mullen (e.g. covers for the OSE Player's Tome or the new OSE Rules Tome printing as well as the cover for the teased monster book by Goodman Games)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">the Simon Stalenhag illustrations for Tales from the Loop</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">some of the black&white by Nils Gulliksson in Forbidden Lands and more of it by Alvario Tapia for Bitter Reach</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">some of the black&white art by Mustafa Bekir in the Dodeca RPG (I think he might also have done a few pieces for Warlock! and Warpstar!)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">some of the art by Johan Nohr (e.g. Mörk Borg, Death in Space)</li> </ul>If we include older things, I also really like Brom's Dark Sun covers and some Elmore pieces.I'm impartial to the art of most D&D5 products including the Wizards books - it's certainly high quality, but its not very evocative. Tying into my appreciation of Martin Grip's art, I wish a concept art-type of illustrations was more widespread. Also, much of the fantasy art could be a little "gnarlier".</blockquote>
