Oh no!

*sigh*

OB1, the reason that they are drawn is such "Drab Colors" is because those colors are visually pleasing and easy to look at for extended peroids of time.
Tell me, would you like look at blue or yellow text of and on for hours while you RP? They tried using different colors in the past, but to many people suffered from headaches.

Its like have bright pictures and words in a dictiionary or encyclopedia while you are trying to write or type a report. You wouldn't beable to read much with bright pictures in your face now could you...didn't think so....

So now you're trying to compare the look of D&D with a dictionary? Well then this time I admit defeat! You won this argument! I definitely agree with you that the look of D&D has the same amount of visual beauty as dictionaries and encyclopedias.

See, ABF? I can admit defeat.

That "drab colors" thing of his makes absolutely no sense, but its no point arguing... though his arguement is quite bizarre.

For one thing, there isn't really a "D&D Art Style"! Far too many people have done art for D&D to say there is one defining style... sure, there is a way they depict the characters, but it changes somewhat all the time depending on who does the drawing... D&D art is just so hugely varied that I would never say it has any one style in some category.

As for "drab", that's both because of what Nick Burns said and because ITS MORE REALISTIC!

Look, you are obviously someone who doesn't like to look at visually pleasing things. You like the shitty art in Oni, and you like the look of D&D. That's fine. You go and enjoy your drab and ugly D&D universe all you want. Have fun!
