Seoni doesn't look like the same person in the original iconic pic to me anymore. Just seems like someone playing dress-up as Seoni now.

It's been a few years now. She's gotten older.
There is a new younger more attractive witch on the scene.(Just don't tell her I said that)
*runs from fireball*

so Seoni is not a standard sorcerer but an archetype? isn't that cheating?
Nope.
Just because she's used to illustrate an archetype doesn't mean she's always going to be that archetype, any more than using her to illustrate different action scenes in different 1st level adventures means she went on all those adventures.
Continuity doesn't matter for illustrations for iconics.

well i guess lack of continuity allows for cool pics of their horrible, horrible deaths
Yup. As we explored in "Undead Revisited."
Or also cool pictures of things like antipaladin Seelah, or steampunk Harsk, or barbarella Amiri (all of which appeared in the GameMastery Guide, I believe).

Which is why nearly every depiction of Valeros is showing him about to get beaten up, getting beaten up, or having been thoroughly beaten up. He can't be that inept. He's probably relieved he's kicking wholesale a$$ on the cover of Ultimate Combat. He has a reputation to uphold, after all.

I like her better as a Varisian (As in the earlier Iconic pic), rather then an Ulfen (As in this one). The actual ethnic variety is one of the things I love about Golarion as a setting.
Even when Seoni's pictured as being relatively pale, she's still a Varisian. And, in fact, a fair amount of Varisians are relatively pale—that trait's generally an indication that the Varisian is from Ustalav and not Varisia.

Huh, Guess that means I should pick up a copy of the new Inner Sea Guide to replace my old Campaign Setting book.

hunh,
I always thought Seoni took improved familiar and had a pair of silicon elementals as her familiar :P
Nooo, these are natural.
By the way, on *completly* unrelated note, can alter self be made permanent? And how can we improve it to reduce chance of being accidentaly dispeled?

I think just about every PC I've ever seen follows the pattern Valeros sets. They get to do the cool stuff too, but there's always a bunch of hurting in there.

Hey, Valeros got to bust in a door on some kenku in an illustration in [MODULE REDACTED FOR POSSIBLE SPOILERS]. That's pretty much the high point as a fighter, right?
That's TENGU not Kenku, and yes, if you burst in a door on some raven-men that means things just got serious.

I prefer this look on Seoni MUCH more. She looks like a woman, and not some cutesy child.

That's either very cool or exceedingly creepy.

Ok... I want the book today.

Agreed.

Oh, there it is!
I think that I would prefer to be familiar with her instead. By the way, KaeYoss, could you stop looking at us during? Your cold immoving reptilian stare is distracting me. Thank you.

First of all, I was merely making a juvenile comment. I am not actually her familiar.
And second, you should remember that arcanist and familiar share an empathic bond. They share emotions. What one feels, the other does.
So you say the lizard was merely staring? Couldn't have felt a thing.
