What should Lords of Olympus' Art look like?

Perhaps you could have Zeus as GM and all the other Gods sitting round with their character sheets?

Or is that me thinking too comedy?

That actually sounds kinda fun.

I think the gamer obsession with the inclusion/exclusion of cheesecake is goofy. I mean, have any of you seen a movie or a post 1958 TV show, or walked across the quad at a university in the last three decades? I see more cleavage and crack in an hour lecture than could be crammed into a line of fifty game books. And as for TV and movies, well there aren't enough gaming books put out in year to cover what happens in an hour of prime time. I think that comics and gaming get held to a different standard because they are primarily male hobbies. I mean, dudes are not the target demographic for Desperate Housewives.
However, the overwhelming presence of bouncing, tightly-packed and well displayed torsos doesn't seem to be driving woman away from that. Put it in or leave it out, but don't agonize about it or think that you're fitting or failing to fit some universal criteria of morality*.

That might make for an amusing image, but I wouldn't want that on the cover.

On the other hand, that guy's version of Aphrodite is awful.

yes.
The presence of a god should be a frigthening experience for a mortal, often leading to death or misfortune (for the mortal of course). Maybe that using classical statues could convey a sense of distance and beyond human understanding?

Well, I don't know about using actual statues (though I guess there's no reason why we couldn't have pictures of statues on the inside art), but certainly something "statuesque".
Larger than life is important here.

Just wanted to update that there's some progress going on here. We're looking at cover art possibilities now.

Well when the time comes, and if it's possible, please share some preview with us!

Still too soon for that right now, all I'm willing to say is that work on the cover is progressing.
