[A Black Falcon]

Great screenshot.

I thought that would happen.. fixed it. Though for the better shots you'll have to click the link.

You go off on tangents all of the time. I'm the one who has to constantly repeat myself.

This has something to do with time? From my perspective it's frequently either similarly lengthed short(er) posts or long ones from me and shorter ones from you...

Hahaha, I can't believe you just called Frank Frazetta art "generic". My God. All of your favorite video game art copies heavily from Frazetta but can neither come close to matching his incredible talent nor begin to imagine something new and original like Frazetta did. That right there shows your complete and utter ignorance and ineptitude towards all art.

Man...

*shakes head in disgust*

The first shot looks like a pretty normal piece of fantasy art, though as I said not in D&D's style. The second is different but in the same line. The third doesn't really look like fantasy, more like history.

And as for D&D, there is one thing you might be missing. When they moved to third edition they changed the art style of D&D quite a bit and standardized a lot of it... that's why Icewind Dale II in some ways looks quite different from BGII. One thing they did in 3.0 is changed the non-human races to make them look less human... and different from other fantasy-world races. For instance Elves are actually shorter than humans, not taller...
