[QUOTE="Hakkenshi, post: 380358, member: 5457"] Someone who would actually be interested in discussing the obvious merits of 3e art might also point out (in addition to what the Colonel's said) that other things that didn't exist either in Tolkien or Medieval Europe exist in D&D. Monsters aside, there are Gnomes who create devices the MA never had (airships, anyone?), for example. More to the point, in most D&D worlds, this pseudo-Medieval period has lasted for a few thousand years with similar levels of technology. That would not have happened on Earth, and armour (and weapons) would have evolved greatly, maybe even in the manner depicted by 3e art. Who knows? But I'm not interested in getting into that discussion. No sir, not me ;) Instead, I'd like to thank Mr. Lockwood (and the other artists for 3e) for really inspiring me to get back to drawing fantasy again. None of them got me to [i]start[/i] drawing (I did that before I even knew what D&D was :D ), but they sure as hell brought me back to it. So I'll join my best wishes to those of the others, Mr. Lockwood. Yours is art that truly inspires and impresses me every single time. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
