Yeah, the artwork it very amateurish. He could have commissioned my daughter to produce better work. Maybe I'll bring it up to him. Her stuff is a bit cartoon-ish (a mix of old school Warner Bros style and anime), but who knows.
Besides from what I've read on the Facebook page, the differences between 1st and 2nd edition are mostly cosmetic anyway. Honestly, he should just go with black and white and not color.
I'm going to see if she can reproduce some of the artwork in the preview, but in her style.
