PHB, MM, DMG covers

[Odhanan]

I like the covers and layout. The logo is alright. Could have been better, maybe. At least, it's clean, to the point. That's the main thing for me.

*blinks* You mean... something like that: Arcana Evolved's Spell Treasury, which uses incredible awesome Kormack art?

That would be... great (sorry, WAR, but for full-cover art, Kormack is just too awesome)

Cheers, LT.

Yeah, he's awesome.

But I wouldn't mind this guy doing something:

Well, as said above, I'm of the same opinion as you... and did a quick mock-up of the covers with a rock-like background (see the header of the D&D-website right now, sans the fire- and whoosh-effect).

Look for yourself (attached image).

Cheers, LT.

Much better.

That's a sweet piece of art! It's almost like that Pozas guy knows what he's doing...

 

[WhatGravitas]

Yeah, he's awesome.

But I wouldn't mind this guy doing something:

You know, that you're surpassing yourself with every piece of art?

I *really* hope that you get a WotC-commissioned illustration, ASAP!

(and I'd like to thank you for your great, game-enhancing gallery )

Cheers, LT.

Emphatically seconded.

 

[TwinBahamut]

Yeah, he's awesome.

But I wouldn't mind this guy doing something:

That looks... goofy. The hand is really wierd, and the design of the giant is kinda odd and drab. The woman is looking in the completely wrong way, and the background... Sorry, but I don't like it.

Back on topic, I like the new covers. I hated the tome look, and I vastly prefer having the art take up more space. Also, as an eberron fan, I really like having WAR's work on book covers. The guy is pretty good.

Look for yourself (attached image).

Yep. That's the first thing I would have did. Looks better IMO as well.

More like this? (Also a WAR artwork, used in promotion of 4e...)

Ok, it's a green dragon, and I have to admit that its theme would make a perfect PHB cover. But I guess/hope they are going to use it as the cover for an introductory product - a Basic Box or something similar.

This was the first piece of art I saw for 4e and I thought it was the cover for the PHB. It looks friggin' awesome and a heck of a lot better then what they went with. I have no idea why this isn't the cover.

Good work, but I honestly believe the white background reads better.
