Something strikes me as interesting about the illustration of Seoni on the cover of Pathfinder 2, and no it's not her Cha 16 displayed up front and center. Look at her right leg. Doesn't it seem a little odd to you? Her foot is forward of her knee, and the musculature of her knee is all weird. It almost looks like her knee is bent backwards. The whole leg reminds me of a horse's foreleg, or a deer. The thick leg-warmers she's wearing certainly makes her foot look like it's got a hoof. And where's her other leg? It just seems to disappear. All of this, combined with her forward-thrust upper body and wonky posture make me think Mr. Reynolds was halfway through drawing a centaur when he got the assignment and just decided to switch gears.
Just 2 cents from an Art History major trying to put his degree to work. :P

Noticing stuff like that just means you've been looking at it WAY too long... :)
Actually, I noticed a few things too, but I assumed some pieces of work are carefully designed and postured to keep the focus where the artist wants it. Realism doesn't always provide the image that the artist is trying to capture.

And this is why my degree is worthless. No one wants good art criticism. :)
I personally don't like Seoni. With her red nose and goofy hair, she looks like a clown.
