A photo of Oliver Ledroit's fantasy artwork taken
by Vlaad two weeks ago at the Belgrade Comic Convention. More pictures of Ledroit's work will be posted during the next few weeks.

Oliver is -- no doubt -- a great artist, but I simply don't like this new fantasy style that has found it's way into gaming art; it seems like every modern character looks slightly manga, is covered with tattos and emblazonments, and wears strange and questionable armor pieces...



At least, this particular elf's ears are no antennas -- yet... ;)

Sry, but there's no way that I may like this kind of artworks :( .



imo, elves should look more mystical and unhuman, not like s.o. wearing a green carnival costume. I better like the elf models from WoW.

That elf has a nice sword ;)



In polish collectors edition of HV there was an artbook with Ledroit's arts.

Almost all of them are very nice.

This one is either the same one as from the artbook, or simply a different angle on him .... but looks pretty good (except the excess of muscle on an elf of course - they are supposed to lithe)

It's the same. And he has TWO swords. And he shares his face with the angel in the same artbook

Overall a nice piece, though I just really really dislike Sylvan and their motifs, so this picture isn't my favorite. Oliver Ledroit's baroque and detailed style is beautiful though.
Happy Millenium!
