New cover art for the Revised PHB and DMG?

[Desdichado]

I must concur - since 3e is pseudo-medieval (with emphasis on the "pseudo"), medieval styles make the game look like it is trapped in the past.

Add to that the fact that d20 rules suit cinematic RP instead of realistic, and you may as well have unwieldly weapons, ineffectual armour and impossible clothing, since it looks so much cooler.

I agree 100%. Not only that, it's untrue that D&D doesn't have a setting. Sure, the rules are presented in a fairly setting neutral environment, but it's also made extremely clear that Greyhawk is the implied setting. Also, since art, by default, is much more difficult to make setting neutral than the rules, the art will necessarily reflect the designers views of the Greyhawk setting.
