[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 8586949, member: 6790260"] Those are pretty much all good pieces, though my tastes in art are somewhat eclectic. It's hard to pin down specific artists or styles. Overall though, the stuff I like tends to be/have: [LIST] [*]Generally high-contrast: bright and fairly saturated colors standing out starkly [*]Fantastical vistas. Floating islands, bright-white shining cities, forests with fantastical creatures flying about, ancient ruins suspended in air or hanging over dangerous locales, etc. [*]High-action, but not too busy. Clear action lines and a sense of motion or scale or depth. [*]When not action-focused, showing mundane joys and life's little moments, whether fun or frustrating. [*]Reasonably well-detailed, but not obsessive. I like enough detail to soak up but, again, not so much that it becomes busy. [*]Diverse color palettes. I'm so [I]completely[/I] done with the "real is brown" trope. [*]Many different races and identities. I like fantastical races and nontraditional roles, and feel recognized when they show up. [/LIST] It's cool if you can do stuff like having some continuity across different books, e.g. "iconic" characters as others have mentioned above. Not strictly necessary, but neat if you can work it in without undue effort. [/QUOTE]
