I just picked up the armybook and had a quick looksie on the bustrip back. Is it just me or does a lot of the artwork look like utter shite? The old artwork is fine (apart from some strangely added colours sometimes), but the new artwork... It's like they no longer use their once talented artists but use those guys who make crappy artwork for those countless roleplaying manuals, putting about 15 minutes of work into each piece... In some pieces the shapes look incredibly weird (like on page 43 and 56). Other times they look incredibly blurry (like the symbol right after the first geen page and the draing on page 4 and 5), as if they're just quick sketches or the painter suddenly had to stop after a certain amount of time: GW: "That's good enough, thanks." Artist: "But it ain't even finished. In fact, I've only just established the composition and colour scheme of..." GW: "I said that's good enough. Here's your pay for your 2 hours of work. Now go." The absolute worst has to be the Troglodon on page 37. Half my class from last year could make better artwork than that, seriously... And then there's the small point of the photographs in the gallery: GW employee 1: "Allright, first day of shooting! Let's bring out the awesome custom Lizardmen terrain!" GW employee 2: "Uhm, yeah, we don't have any." GW employee 1: "Seriously? Ok, then what DO we have?" GW employee 2: "Here, use this Chaos, Vampire and Empire terrain." GW employee 1: "Ugh, fine..."
Wouldn't surprise me if GW's saving the best artwork for a buyable wallpaper package for mobile devices..
At least he didn't get the super special "New Art" artwork. Or, perhaps, he just hasn't noticed it yet....
your class? as in art class? Would you be interested in drawing for this project by any chance? http://www.lustria-online.com/threads/lizardmen-expansion-project.12782/ +2 been hoping other people felt this way. There is no doubt that the Lizardmen drowned in the coming of the Space Marines.
I don't know I think alot of the art isn't half bad also did anyone notice the ruins in the back of the pics on pages 64, 65 and 67?
As in Game Design Class But, I said "half my class", not "me" Don't get me wrong, I can draw, just not spectacularly well Aight, perhaps we should give this a go
I agree with everything everyone said here Is it me or does Tehenhauin look scruffy Whay was wrong with his old one holding the plaque while roaring victoriously Besides the 6th ed. artworks, I'd have to say that I do like the art on page 97
Thats a yes or a no? maybe this should be discussed by PM) I think we should would http://www.avaaz.org/en/petition/?hp be apropiate? anyone up for wording what we all feel?
I can give it a try, but don't expect any magic Seriously, don't Haha, great minds think alike. I jus made this: https://www.change.org/petitions/games-workshop-re-release-the-8th-edition-lizardmen-armybook-2 Can easily be removed though, if the wording isn't right
Why not start a new thread to compile specific feedback for the petition? You should mention specific problems (typos, missing art, unclear rules, etc.) and their page numbers.
