[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 6585792, member: 1465"] I still haven't got the books, so I haven't seen all the artwork. But between the previews and a trip to the FLGS to browse them on the shelves, overall I think 5e artwork is generally as good as 3e artwork, which means [I]very good[/I]. With the caveat however, that at the beginning I thought 5e had utterly awesome art, but then after flipping through the MM, I "demoted" my opinion to just very good. For some reason, I felt they did everything wonderfully in the MM except exactly for my favourite categories of monsters: giants, devils and demons, (all of which have some goodies and some truly awful ones) and even the dragons are not as good as the 3e ones (although still pretty good). I haven't seen the DMG yet, but the PHB seemed to me very good with the artwork, except of course the commonly displeasing Halflings. Really, I have no idea what they were thinking when choosing their style for 5e... they even had them on preview in the WotC website's artwork blog, stating boldly that they were by no means the final choice, and AFAIK there was already an outrage in the comments to the preview. How did we still end up with that choice escapes me... [/QUOTE]
