In my country Mutant chronicles was the CCG, while the board game was called Blood Beret and was sold as part of a bi-weekly release of Lunacy, the first book of the trilogy. Later i also started collecting metal figurines for Warzone and Chronopia, the fantasy spin off. I think Bonner was involved in the artwork of all those games.

That analogy doesn't really hold (even though I understand what you're getting at). Programming principals apply to modern languages. They're basically just a fresh coat of paint to older paradigms and programming methodologies. A good programmer should be able to learn the basics of a new language in a month, if not a weekend.

Apparently there's a pretty interesting documentary about Frazetta. I need to get my hands on it. Have any of you guys seen it?

Lots of great artists were mentionned, allow me to add some more.

Chris Foss

Angus McKie

Jean "Moebius" Giraud (Airtight garage, Arzak, Edena and so many many more)

Philippe Caza (lots of SF book covers and other stuff)

Vicente Segrelles (El Mercenario)

Philippe Druillet (some of his art is there)

Jean-Claude Mézières (Valerian and Laureline, which inspired Star Wars, yes, I really mean Star Wars and The 5th Element among others, but he also did other stuff)

And the never-made Dune by Jodorovsky.

God, if that book ever gets published I will get it no matter how crazy expensive it is. It's my Holy Grail.

Sidenote- love your avatar, number six.

This art is by Chris Foss, as he drew the spaceships while Moebius drew the costume designs. But I confirm that this is a Holy Grail.

I am not a number, I am a free Patrick McGoohan fan ;-)

Like I said, there clearly was an attempt to go back, at least somewhat, to that old-school art with the fifth edition. It really was the fourth one that went most heavily into a much more comicbook, sometimes even cartoonish look. Maybe because the whole thing seemed to be an attempt to get new people into it by making it more "mainstream" and even MMO like in some ways. At least that's the idea I got from what I've read and heard about it, I never got to play it. I very much doubt me and my friends will ever move past D&D 3.5.

It seems after Final fantasy VII and Warcraft III (once Blizzard shut down Blizzard North/Condor, and completely eliminated the art of Diablo) everybody went with the hyper-style comic book look. WoW then really exploded the trend.

You either do as real graphics as possible CoD, GoW with a little exaggeration or people went with a very similar, repetative comic look like Borderlands, Overwatch, Battleborn. I know art teams won't change much, but never deviating and making every series look the sames is tiresome.

Blizzard is the worse for this. Warcraft III, Diablo III, WoW, Hearthstone, Overwatch. A Blizz game is instantly recognizable because they all look the exact same.

The Witcher series has a great art style and Cyberpunk look really good so far. And at least you can tell they are two entirely different universes.

Why is this thread low rated?

Probably because you are in here.
