[QUOTE="Unwise, post: 6583020, member: 98008"] I do really like most of the 5e art. I particularly like the different looks of the humans. Some africanish looking guys and girls, a samurai looking lady and some rather interesting looking monsters. I don't like it when some of the monster art looks like they took human faces and photoshopped them into being a monster. Some of it skirts the uncanny valley too closely. The other day I actually found myself skimming the PHB in such a away as to consciously avoid the halfling pictures. In much the same way as one might flick through a first aid book hoping to avoid the pictures of compound fractures. It is one thing to not like art, it is another to actually feel repelled by it. Player 1 who came in late: "I'm thinking of playing a Halfling..." Other players: "We kill it with fire!" P1: "What the...why the hate?" Others: <Opens the PHB to the right page and shows her> P1: "Sweet mother of monsters! Abort, abort!" 10 minutes later P1: "I am going to play a halfling guys. I'm going to be a Greater Old One Warlock, who has a pact with Dagon. I'll come from the town of Innsmouth. My character has the Innsmouth Look" [/QUOTE]
