[QUOTE="A'koss, post: 3798277, member: 840"] While certainly not my biggest concern, the latest Des & Dev articles have showcased more and more art from the 4e MM. I was expecting that for a new edition that WotC would go out of their way to commission absolutely the best art possible. Something that would blow the previous generation away - but the monster pieces we've seen so far range from disappointingly mediocre...

[IMG]http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/4e/20070926a_drdd_2.jpg[/IMG] Even WAR's demon lacks his usual "oomph"... [IMG]http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/4e/20070924_drdd_barl.jpg[/IMG] Now I mean no disrespect to the artists involved with this work, but for the [I]flagship[/I] MM book in the newest edition I would want to... [I]blow away[/I] my audience. *Every* monster IMO should make you go *wow*. Obviously it's early yet to make any judgements based on a handful of images, but if this is the level of quality we can expect... I will be sorely disappointed. [/QUOTE]
