I'd have to agree Bry, not really anime style at all.. no big eyes, small mouths etc.. in fact the art style is very reminiscent of the kinds of illustrations that were seen in the D&D 3.0 Monster Manual imo for those of you familiar with it, and on the whole the quality is very good.

I hopw everyones not getting too heated up about anime... To me its more like comic book art style: i.e. inked and then coloured. And then thats only less than 1 in 10 of the pictures.
Theres obviously several artists and like I say, the painting of the broo is one of the best I've seen!!!
Hopefully mr sprange can put up the dragonnewt art and the broo in the next previews so people can see what I mean!

Both of which have features that are intrincisally anime.. mostly about the faces (large eyes, small mouths, small noses, often effeminite faces), body proportions (i.e slender and lithe, large upper bodies,tapering down to slender lower bodies), which is not the style of the RQ Monsters art in anyway... but anywhoooo.
I just thank the lord RQ elves didn't have anime elf ears... that would've make me cry

The picture of the elf in "Glorantha - The Second Age", is REALLY good. I like it a lot!

Please, can we forget the art discussion for a moment? I am still wondering, is the RQ Monsters Open Game Content or not?
It is important to me, because it determines if I will have to write a beastiary for my Arkana campaign setting or not.
(Btw. If the rest of the art are like in the preview, it is ok)

I agree that the general style is just fine. It's nothing like anime, most definitely. However, I still don't like the duck. The overall proportions are fine, but he should be feathered on arms and legs. As is, he looks like a human dress up like some school's duck mascot. Put the feathers back and I can deal with it. It's still better than the cartoonish ducks on Apple Lane and similar older RQ materials. (Part of why we cut ducks out of Glorantha for our first few campaigns.)

Actually, in an adventure I was planning on writing...he was going to be Toi the Unforgiven; Duck Pariah.
Toi was so fed up with how badly Ducks are treated in the Second Age that he tore out all his feathers from his limbs and took to a life of crime against his own people. It allowed him to wear a common cowl and boots in order to hide as a short human...just long enough to yank back his hood and reveal to his victim that they were just betrayed by a fellow Duck!
Then again...I could be making all of that up... 8)
I'm allowed to. It's my job. :wink:

Neo: Thank you for that anwswer.
iamtim: Yeah, that is the big question. While I definetly will write statistics and descriptions of the races common in my Arkana setting, as well for the more unique "monsters", it would be nice to not have to redo every monster there is within fantasy with radically different looks and statistics, but instead being able to point to the RQ Monsters book.
