Tangents = longer posts. Longer posts = more time.
Quote: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...
Look. Brian. I'm just going to stop you right here before you embarrass yourself any further. Frank Frazetta is the Van Gough of fantasy art, so to give it nothing but the highest praise only shows your ignorance of this subject. It's okay that you can't tell a masterpiece from a piece of crap, but it's not okay that you're denying this. Please, for your sake, just stop where you are.
That art you posted is not bad, it's obviously comic book-inspired (probably done by comic artists), but it's like comparing Spider-Man 2 to Citizen Kane. Spider-Man 2 is a good movie in its own right, but it's nowhere near the same league as Kane is.
