Art is just that, art - it's interpretive, it requires the viewer to form an oppinion of the piece. Now, I'm not saying there isn't "crappy" art. Those little Quizno sub's comerical rats with freakishly large eyes - that is crap.Now, if you look at the technical, artistic aspects many D&D artists have gone with - it's high quality stuff. They use fairly universal ideas of perspective, tone, conture, texture and all that good artistic stuff. Technically, it is good art. You may not like it - but it doesn't mean it's crap. They did exactly what they were supposed to.Example: Bobby the telephone operator gets on the phone with a customer and begins taking notes on the computer they want built. He sends the order to Ralphy in the work room, who puts the computer together - as per his instructions. The user gets it in the mail and finds out the case bright pink. He doesn't like it, but does it make the computer crappy - even if it meets all the aspects he requested?I suppose, if you wish to call art crap - fine. Freedom of speech and all - you have your right to your perogative. Even if you are wrong. Just because "You don't like it" doesn't make it crap. Again, as I believe I said some where before, I look at things with the eye of an artist and aim toward neutrality. If you wish to "look at purdy pictures", fine. I don't really like the Mona Lisa - it's a fine painting - a clasic even. I still don't like it. I don't call it crap, because I know it isn't.Just my two cents - even if most people disagree with it, I'm still entitled to it just and the "crap" sayers are to theirs.Erge</blockquote>
