I've come to look at art very objectively over the years, listening to critiques. I can look at a piece of art that I like and still know whether or not it is "good" in terms of objective quality. When I think of Otus, the first thing that pops into my head is going to be his humans, not squiggly cthulhu monsters. When I was in 5th grade, I was drawing squiggly monsters. And, his humans are not objectively good. Look at the cover to 1E Dieties and Demigods. No details, a painting style that is one step above TV animation, and perspectives that leave to be desired. Most of his artwork just lacks any kind of real detail (some does, but not most). That can even be seen in his cthulhuesque artwork. I admit, I have trouble liking artwork that I don't consider up to par. Same with poetry (which I am far far more critical of).Here's what I'll do. I'll show my D&D group <a href="http://minipainting-guild.net/eo/Eye%20thing.jpg" target="_blank">this</a> picture, and see what they think of it. One member of my group is an artist, by the way.</blockquote>
