Finally remembered what the halfling design reminds me of:

So many memories...


DUDE YES!!

As an aside, I totally want the halfling men to be illustrated wearing chainmail loincloths now.

I don't think I have a problem with stylized art, but when it's stylized childrens art I have a  problem. 

Here is an example of stylized art that I can appreciate.  It's not ultra realistic, but it has a much  more mature feel to it.

I love that artist, they really brought the right mood to 2nd Ed Ravenloft (as Brom did for Dark Sun, and DiTerlizi to Planescape).

Yeah he did Taladas too. 

Anyone know his name? (Edit: Never mind I found it Stephen Fabian)


Sadly, I doubt the current batch of artists will aquire the same reputation for what they've done to the FR.   I'm not saying they are not talented, but they are clearly being told "how" to draw and as a result the very soul is missing from their work.

Ah, yes, Time of the Dragons, a revolutionary boxed set (and close to me heart), the debut of Kits, Mongolian Elves, badass Gnome Commandos (Companions of the Dead), and tons of other radical ideas, the first truly non-standard setting.

Nice, we need more of that, and more black & white art, period.
