[QUOTE="Nai_Calus, post: 4716443, member: 79670"] I despise the Bard class picture. Other than that random harp, nothing at all about it says 'Bard'. I also can't decide what angle it's at, and thus whether it's just that her body is turned away and thus badly twisted, or if she really does only have one breast. Her faces also looks squashed. I would have preferred they did more re-used art yet again and just re-used the picture of Devis from 3.x, or the one of Gimble. :P Shiere Knight is reused, IIRC it's some Moon Elf mage from Forgotten Realms whose name utterly escapes me at the moment, and the scene it was supposed to be illustrating has nothing at all to do with the PP. The '04' date in the corner really makes it facepalm-worthy, though. The Champion of Corellon Larethian illustration for Twilight Guardian really makes me facepalm. That one would have made infinitely more sense for the Shiere Knight. It doesn't look remotely nature-defendery. CoCL was basically an elven Paladin of sorts, and that's what it looks like. They really couldn't find a picture of a tree-hugging nature elf? Seriously? Some of the gnome and most of the deva art was really good though. I love the new gnome look(Though it bothered me that the race write-up didn't seem to say anything about their religious beliefs. Who do they worship? Sehanine? Corellon? Someone else?), and Deva's look is pretty cool as well. I think the thing that disappoints me most though was probably the re-used art for the Eladrin PP. I really like the look of the 4e Eladrin, and was hoping for a new shiny picture of them. Instead, re-used art from five years ago. Meh, perfect time to actually have art of them and they don't. I'm getting used to seeing nothing but Dragonborn and Tieflings and almost no Eladrin in 4e art though, so maybe that will stop bothering me eventually. :P [/QUOTE]
