[QUOTE="GravyFingerz, post: 3746202, member: 77"] I can't express to any of you how awesome this art is. If this is the direction they are taking 4th edition in art, then I'll be happy. I like the comic looking art; I like the horned helmets, big freekish and evil looking trolls. For me, it's alot about art and how it inspires me; I love the older art of the OD&D, 1e, 2e, and some of the 3e games. Art leads my imagination to a place and I then take over and start exploring.

Or the classic Emerikol the Chaotic, or a Paladin in Hell. Those illustrations are a portal to adventure and imagination, and I just need to look at them to start asking questions, and start answering them.
