Less amateurish art. It's a plague of most d20 companies.

Less Kaluta ! Less Easley ! And, above all, less Guy Davis !

As I say in the other thread:

1°) It must be pretty
2°) It's nicer in color
3°) Better no art than poor art


Furthermore, I'll bump the cause of more scenery. Most campaign settings have surprising, breathtaking scenery, yet all that is painted is monsters and characters. I want places !

I think you can find some on the web, at least, if you look for them, if that helps. :)

It is not the same thing. Besides printed images have a higher resolution then those taken off the net. Beisdes most people who get comssioned to do art, don't have proportion problems (okay, I have seen images in published games where the woman's breasts were the size of her head, or legs that would make a supermodel envious).

I want well proportioned men!

Not on the options, but some influences I would like to see more of:

Mark Smylie. He represents one of the three major styles of what I like: realistic watercolors with a gritty feel, historically believable arms & equipment, occasional legendary imagery, and detail, detail, detail.

tiDerlizzi (mispelled, I know). He represents the second of three major styles I like: fanciful fey, almost gestural expressionism, and a dream-like monsterism :).

The third style: Whoever did most of the PHB Iconics. Fantasy without any attempt at realism, mixed with reasonably realistic human figures. It's fun despite the hideous armor designs :D. And some humor would not be awry.
