10-22-06, 09:57 AM The FR book covers are so evocative and beautiful. My favorites are Magic of Faerun and Unapproachable East. What are yours and why?

10-22-06, 10:52 AM the forgotten realms campaign setting book cover is best, mysteries of the moonsea and dragons of fearun are a close joint second the rest are so so.

faiths and pantheons, champions of valor, lost empires and races of faerun look like dog **** and i hate them.

10-22-06, 12:49 PM I liked Underdark. I also like City of Splendors.
Garidas
10-22-06, 12:51 PM I think the front covers are always good (or at least most of them). I really like the Waterdeep cover, Unapprochable east cover and Dragons of Faerūn, thou they are all very good, all the covers.
And also, I own Serpant Kingdms and I like its cover and the artwork inside, really great job they did on FR art.
Dark Wizard
10-22-06, 02:44 PM The panoramic/scenic views on the covers of City of Splendors and the Shining South are my favorite.

I like the cover to Magic of Faerun as well, because it has an appropriately mysterious vibe.

10-23-06, 05:35 AM Silver Marches and Races of Faerun, actually. They just scream 'adventure' to me...
Jiggawha
10-23-06, 05:44 AM Best - LEoF, Waterdeep, Shining South, Lords of Darkness, Mysteries of the Moonsea

Worst - Champions of Ruin, Silver Marches, Power of Faerun, Faiths and Pantheons
Gemcaster
10-23-06, 08:48 AM My favorite cover is probably forgotten realms campaign setting.

10-23-06, 01:21 PM I like the fist of the war of the spider queen Books cover. Phararuan is awesome!
Nowak
10-23-06, 01:37 PM Waterdeep, man. The cover of that book makes me wish I lived there, dragons overhead and all.

I also really like Shinig South, Mysteries of the Moonsea, and Sons of Gruumsh.
Xavier_of_Cormyr
10-23-06, 02:33 PM Silver Marches... I like the style of art, and being one of the first FR books for 3e (if not the first, other than the FRCS), it set the tone for all that followed
Red_Wizard
10-25-06, 11:54 AM Easily Dragons of Faerun first (Anything done by Todd Lockwood is always going to win out over the rest), with Mysteries of the Moonsea, and Unapproachable East Tieing for Close Seconds.

The Players Guide to Faerun had a nice cover piece, but most of the stuff inside was awful.
The ShapeLess One
10-25-06, 01:54 PM I have always like the Unapproachable East.
MasterGrazzt
10-29-06, 05:04 PM How about the old school? Yeah, the art is (I admit this grudgingly ;-) ) better now, but there were still some gems in the 2nd Edish days.

For example, The Moonsea (http://home.flash.net/~brenfrow/fr/moonsea.jpg). Yeah, the art is pretty eh, but the guy is hitting that other guy with a loaf of bread. That is just awesome.

You also have to love the covers for the original sixteen sourcebooks, FR1-16. (I'll post them later, you think I'm looking for sixteen covers? ;-) )

Empires of the Shining Sea (http://home.flash.net/~brenfrow/fr/sea.jpg) has a huge efreet fighting a blue dragon, with the efreet's master (or at least, liberator) in the corner, still holding the lamp. \m/

Pages from the Mages (http://home.flash.net/~brenfrow/fr/pages.jpg) and Prayers from the Faithful (http://home.flash.net/~brenfrow/fr/prayers.jpg) are actually probably some of my favourite D&D covers ever. They just really capture the essence of what they are trying to depict perfectly.

The Drow of the Underdark (http://home.flash.net/~brenfrow/fr/for2.jpg) is a perfect representative of early 90s TSR minimalism. While I love the fully illustrated and sometimes even painted wrap-around covers that WotC uses, I also love the simple, elegant "title, perhaps a picture and cover design" style that was often used back then, especially on the old "blue and brown" books, such as the Complete line and Monster Mythology. That embossed, silver or gold font... it just makes me think of the joys of my early D&D days. Oh, and the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting cover is very evocative of that style, and thus is one of my favourite, if not the absolute favourite, 3rd Edition covers.

Oh, and the Volo covers were always great, because they were everyone's favourite bumbling, egocentric mage getting into some kind of horrible trouble. :cool:

Those are great. :) 2e was kinda hit or miss with me--there were some art pieces that were absymal, but then you'd get something like the Volo covers, or Arilyn and the Song and Swords books, or other such good ol' Forgotten Realms art. :)

Eh, now this I disagree with. That doesn't even look like a drow, other than the white hair. As a matter of fact, (in my opinion) drow never looked good until 3e; and even then, there are a lot of drow that do not look like drow. I suppose it just takes someone of special talent to draw one. ;)

However, 3e in general still has a lot of hit and misses. For every Todd Lockwood, Wayne Reynolds, and Sam Wood, you get a Dennis "Crabapple" McClain/Dennis Cramer, a Matt Faulkner, and Vince Locke. :nonono:
johnkretzer
10-30-06, 07:53 PM I like Champions of Ruin and Champions of Valor. Why look at then together. It is different artist but the characters on Champ. of Ruin are the same guys and gals getting beaten on the champ. of Valor cover. Which I think was kinda cool,
Karsus the Mad
10-30-06, 10:14 PM A loaf of bread...that's :censored: hilarious...I love it.
I like the artwork of the FRCS. It makes it look more like an ancient tome instead of a comic book (that's what I think whenever I see a picture on a cover...can't help it...regardless of how well the art is). And the artwork inside is great. I'm not much on a lot of the more recent artwork (too..."goofified" for my taste.). I like several 2e covers tho'. The internal artwork can only be described as vomit on paper (an image of a drow with an early 80's middle-aged hair style for example), but that's something else. OVerall, I like 3e artwork more.
MasterGrazzt
10-31-06, 09:27 AM a comic book (that's what I think whenever I see a picture on a cover...can't help it...regardless of how well the art is).

And what's wrong with that?

:mad:

As for the Drow of the Underdark cover, I really just grabbed the first example I could find of the "minimalist" style of the 90s. Perhaps I should have chosen something else, but that picture of Drizzt looks better IRL. For reals.
Karsus the Mad
10-31-06, 10:17 AM And what's wrong with that?

:mad:
Nothing? It's merely what I think when I see a a DnD product with a picture spanning the entire cover. It's not a bad thing. I'd just rather have something like the FRCS in style. Or pages from the mages.:)

I was actually thinking something else (Daughter of the Drow cover). I'll have to disagree with you about the Drizzt picture. He looks like an old white man. I can't recall seeing a single picture in 2e of a drow that didn't look like a regular white guy or gal, either old or saggy. However, sometimes they did have their skin black, so I suppose that deserves a note of recognition that they at least got one aspect of a drow correct.
MasterGrazzt
10-31-06, 11:39 AM Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you meant like.. "those damn funnybooks". Don't mind me, I just know a lot of h8rs.

Speaking of D&D and comics, at least superhero comics, and while we're on the topic of art...

Jeff Dee, everyone.

http://www.paratime.ca/v_and_v/art_jdee.html

One of, if not THE coolest artist to work on D&D, at least for his stylin's.
Raelan_Harpell
10-31-06, 04:27 PM I wish I could say I enjoyed the 3rd Ed. book covers, but like much of the newer art it's too stylized and cartoonish (and lacking in finely-painted detail). I much prefer the 2nd Ed. covers, where artists like Fred Fields and Brom worked their magic. The old 2nd Ed. TSR art staff's work wasn't just cover illustrations - it was art, period. This is something that I feel is lacking in most 3rd Edition illustrations.

The 2nd Ed. crew had Keith Parkinson, Fred Fields, Clyde Caldwell, Jeff Easley, Larry Elmore, and Brom amongst their number, and a more distinguished field of artists you'll not find. Their works were truly inspiring, and I wish the 3rd Ed. stuff was up to their quality.

In regards to my favorite accessory covers, I'll have to say the second cover of the 2nd Ed. boxed set (the one with Elminster, the Simbul, and a couple others superimposed over Toril) by Fred Fields, the cover of the same boxed set's inside booklet "A Grand Tour of the Realms" by Clyde Caldwell, and the cover of the City of Splendors boxed set (Fred Fields, again).

The first I like for many reasons: its sheer artistic value, its quality, the fact that the box cover was one of the things that drew me into the Realms in the first place, etc.

I particularly like the cover for "A Grand Tour of the Realms" because it's the only illustration that I feel does justice to one of the Realms' iconic characters, Drizzt Do'Urden (even if he has two falchions instead of scimitars) out of all of the Forgotten Realms works.

And, of course, the cover to the City of Splendors boxed set is the quintessential depiction of Khelben Arunsun (flying over Waterdeep on a ki-rin, no less). Oh, and it's also another excellent piece of art.
Red_Wizard
11-01-06, 10:13 AM For second Ed. i'd have to say that easily [i]Spellbound[/] is a plateau, if not a peak in the time periods art put out. It has the least cheasiest cover of all of them imo, and the internal art work is IMO again, much preffered to most of the noname artist stuff i see going into the books lately. Not that there aren't some good noname artists, there are definatly a couple pieces that catch my eye, then involve a closer study, and turn up an artist i havn't heard of. But generally, they turn out bad.

With that note, i will point out that for a new world, Ebberon certainly seems to be drawing in all the good artists, and keeping a genral overall feel of the same design and look to the world from each piece submitted.......which i can't say has happened ever for the Realms. A prime example is to look at the cover of DoF, by lockwood, and then go and flip through the first dozen pages of PgTF, and its sickening.

I do like both realistic styles, and the cartoony ones, but for something like the realms either go fully real to captivate the described beauty of the place, or go quasi-real, and do real layouts, but with characters that have somewhat exagerated features. Perhaps even along the lines of the Drizzt Comics (hey, the comics are drawn better, and more consistantly than any single source since 2nd Ed. :rolleyes: )
Panurg
11-01-06, 10:29 AM Compared to other RPG products all Forgotten Realms Covers are beautifull. Color, design and style are very nice and they always try to make u curious about the scene that takes place.

(The only cover art which was nearly as good was 2e Ravenloft: Children of the Night: The Created and Werebeasts, Shadow Rift, Vecna Reborn or older ones like Evil Eye, the Created)

My favorite is:
Serpent Kingdoms
which is very much alive but on the other hand the colors are calm and well set.:ayyyy!:
Altar_Boy
11-01-06, 10:39 PM I like Champions of Ruin and Champions of Valor. Why look at then together. It is different artist but the characters on Champ. of Ruin are the same guys and gals getting beaten on the champ. of Valor cover. Which I think was kinda cool,

I also like the irony that the heroes are looking so very good, triumphing over the bad guys, only it seems they arrived too late to save any of the villagers.

"Way to look heroic guys. Now wipe that commoner off your boots."

11-01-06, 10:57 PM Hands down PgTf... Nothing beats a gold elf fighting against Manshoon!!! But what's up with the grey looking rogue guy jumping to the side????
