[QUOTE="Melkor, post: 1400780, member: 10786"] Maybe it's the fact that art is my job, and I see a ton of different styles on a daily basis (both at work, and my major hobby - RPGs), but I love things about both the new and old styles. Erol Otus, Jeff Dee, and Bill Willingham inspired me to pick up a pencil and draw when I was a pre-teen. Elmore shaped some of the way my Jr. High and High School campaigns "looked" in my mind. I also think that some of the 3rd Edition art is amazing. Wayne Reynolds (WAR) is probably my favorite 3E artist. The Draconomicon was amazing in my opinion, but I can't say I liked a single picture out of the new Unearthed Arcana. The low point for me was some of the "semi-realistic" crap that made it's way into 2nd Edition books.....I can open the first run 2nd Edition books, and the later black cover 2nd Edition books - and find several examples of craptastic art.....But even those are housed in beautifully illustrated Jeff Easley covers.....
