[QUOTE="teitan, post: 8191683, member: 3457"] THis is my favorite Elmore piece, it is dynamic and interesting, the design is very well done. I used to be meh on him after his heyday. I really felt like his SHadowrun cover was dated with all the beautiful Bradstreet art in the 2e book but as I have gotten older he has returned to being one of my favorite artists. His work has a timelessness that a lot of the post 2e artists seem to lack. His "posing" is because he was needing to show off characters and compared to the more action and panoramic oriented art we see now, his paintings for covers fit right in with the style of art used for novel covers back in the 80s n& 90s. He was better at it than most. TSR just had an amazing roster of artists in those days. He does action very well as demonstrated in this and the red box cover and BECMI art. I took graphic design in college and he is one of the few artists from that era that can still hold up in that sense. Now if I got a commission I would want Erol Otus and Easley!
