[QUOTE="Scribe, post: 8587081, member: 6807152"] I like books to be consistent. I like the art quality to be consistent throughout the book, same with the tone, or theme. I love art that creates the backdrop, landscapes, for example by artist Rob Alexander, or art seen in (even the cover) of Rime of the Frost Maiden. Something which evokes a feeling of both real, and fantastical. Not just Mountains, but MOUNTAINS. The most misty of forests, where you can smell the moss, and the scent of the rain never really disappears. I want the Monsters to be Monstrous. I want the Adventurers to look like you would if you lived a life of adventuring in the wilds of the world between villages. A bit greasy, a bit rough around the edges, and a bit wild. I saw a review for the latest batman. "Its dirty looking, when contrasted to the clean of modern cinema." Get some grit in there, when it comes to the characters get some dirt on those hands. One of my favourite characters of any D&D media, is Korgan Bloodaxe, from Baldur's Gate 2. No, he's not a good guy, but he will be a faithful companion, and he will banter with most of your party regardless of composition. There's another thread where there was discussion about XP for Gold, so you go in stealth, get the loot and go, vs XP for Killing, and I want the art TO be that kick in the door type of action. I dont think what I really want, is ever actually going to be in the cards again. 1. Consistent Art Direction/Style in a book. 2. 'Lead' Artist setting the style in a book. 3. Epic yet REAL looking landscapes. 4. Action with a bit of that 90's look, if not full on 'Wayne Reynolds/Dark Age of Comics', but if the choice is Wayne, vs 'Current 5e' I pick Wayne every day. I'm not looking for downtime shots. I'm not interested in a quiet night around the campfire. Kick in the door. [/QUOTE]
