4th Edition art needs more ninjas
I definitely recognised the art style in the 4th Edition books when I first picked them up, but it was only recently I figured out where I’d seen it before – the Legend of the Five Rings CCG. I can’t believe it took me as long as it did to realise the common link was William O’Connor.
For comparison, here’s a piece from L5R, and one from 4e. I’ve heard a few people express their dislike of the 4e art, but I believe it suits the new ruleset.
I used to play a lot of L5R until, well, World of Warcraft killed it.
