Worst art in an RPG book thread.

Sorry I took so long to reply, I went uptown to 40 Rock and asked to speak with Mr Baldwin but a slightly effeminate concierge apologized saying its just a show that they film elsewhere. So, in disgust over the whole thing I just took the concierge to lunch... WHAT!? I know... I am so impotent... Gushes tears into sleave.

Back to the thread already in progress, I'm not sure if I've ever whipped out anything that wasn't my own on the gametable... I mean, artwise. (I have told players to show theirs just to prove that I have a very small one... DAMMIT! Not again! ;) )

Seriously seriously, I draw my own stuff so my players just enjoy my shit mostly. I say mostly that is because they sometimes sample images for their henchmen, etc. In the 80's I drew character pixel by pixel on an Apple IIc and later in the 80's in color on an Amiga.

The problem is not that power corrupts, but that the corruptible are irresistibly drawn to the pursuit of power. Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito.

What? Drawing at the table? I could do that now if you want with a bic pen.

I do have a folder of remnants but some really memorable ones are gone. Especially the post-game ones.

Quote from: danbuter;461772I wish that was the standard artwork style used for D&D.

That does look pretty fucking awesome.  But not all RPG art has to be hyper-realistic. If it were, an element of the "fantasy" would be lost.

Quote from: Elfdart;461834You know what's really funny? All the people bitching about Liefeld drawing people in unnatural poses when this guy is apparently leaning away from his spear for no reason.

"Unnatural poses" my ass. Leifeld does not draw people with human bodies.

Quote from: Koltar;461556Take some art classes - then you will know the answer.

For example: BOTH Steve Ditko and Mike Grell are Comic Book artists. However, I think Mike Greel is a better artist overall than mr. Ditko is. However, many comic book fans mioght disagree with me. Steve Ditko had the good fortune to be the first artist that drew SPIDERMAN and possibly DOCTOR STRANGE as well. As a result he is remembered fondly by people.

 Is he an artist ?

Yes.

Is he a good one?

NOT in my opinion.

If they're teaching you that Steve Ditko wasn't a good artist in your "art school", you should probably get a refund.

Also, Steve Ditko didn't have the "good fortune" to be the original illustrator for Spider-Man and Doctor Strange. He co-created those characters. That's like saying that J.R.R. Tolkien had the "good fortune" to write The Lord of the Rings, but if it wasn't for that people wouldn't think he was such a great writer.

Quote from: TristramEvans;461990- picture -

Oddly enough when I looked at Cap's picture a few posts back, I was envisioning just this very thing.

Uncanny.
I start from his boots and work my way up. It takes a good half a roll to encompass his jolly round belly alone. Soon, Father Christmas is completely wrapped in clingfilm. It is not quite so good as wrapping Roy but it is enjoyable nonetheless and is certainly a feather in my cap.

Disturbing is the word that comes to mind.

Cap's got huge nipples, gotta say.
