D&D 5E Toward a new D&D aesthetics

But their poses are more forced, which I think was the point (thus the use of the word). There's more to realism than anatomical correctness.

This demonstrate how it is impossible to come to an agreement about those things, giving subjective perception jointed with semantic ambiguity of all terms involved.
Aside, I find the second even disturbing flat in perspective.

The first one looks weird, and the second one realistic?! Do you have no sense for human anatomy? The barbarian in the second picture looks comically grotesque! Whereas characters in the first picture are all well-proportioned and anatomically correct.

The barbarian is scared butt ain't wearing armor. And he's all stretched out.

Too jarring in the foreground.

For many, it's just an update. To others, like me, it's a complete abomination and eye sore, lol. Although INCREDIBLY similar, one just has that softer tone to it that I can't stand.

Tbh both of these are mediocre.

To me it looks like it comes down to the inking method used. The old art was colored by hand and still has grain to it, while the modern one was digitally coloured.

Unfortunately many mod action taken against me are highly questionable

Mod Note:
And, here we go... discussing moderation in thread.

That this is against the rules is not "questionable". Thread closed.
