I'm just looking at the character sketch for Duelist prestige class and I wonder who drew it. It looks amazing!

Jason Engle is doing all of the art for the prestige classes, I believe. So yeah, that's his.
That actually looks a lot like the duelest character I ran in a Ravenloft campaign...

Jason Engle? EXCELLENT.

Ooh, very stylish.
Confusing as hell though. This duelist could conceivably go head to head with a Taldar duelist (a popular region for it)...in his Victorian coat and tie, while his lady fair (wearing a giant powdered wig), looks on. Maybe they could fight atop a Conastoga wagon through ancient Egypt and later trade tales over sushi at Ye Olde Korvosan Tavern.
Every piece of admitedly awesome artwork leaves me grasping for a feeling of setting. :(
NICE!
Can't wait for the finished thing.
I am interested to see how the new duelist comes out since it seemed that part of its niche was co-opted by the d8 rogue.

Excellent as always.
Didn't recognise his work without his fantastic light play.

Keep in mind that this portrait is for the RPG and not a Golarion specific product. While the Golarion iconics were used for the base class art (since they already had them and they were so good) the book is designed to cover all settings. Thus, I imagine they didn't want to make the duelist too locked to Golarion but rather an illustration of a typical duelist in any world.

I, on the other hand, was never a fan of his water colors/photoshop coloring technique. On the other hand, this simple black & white sketch looks simply amazing! It's WAR!-worthy and I do not say that lightly.
Paizo really has some incredible artists working for their products. So far, Ben Wooten and WAR! are my favorites.

Well, Pathfinder Chronicles setting does have a kitchen sink approach to it's world. Usually, I'm more in favor of settings with specific flavor like Warhammer, but as was pointed out to me by a friend, generic approach is definitely a smarter move for Paizo then designing five specialized settings in five different books.
This way, for each campaign I run or play in we can chose a different mini-setting - Ustalav, Varisia, Mwangi Expanse, Land of the Linnorm Kings, etc. - and each time we'll be able to explore a whole different feel and style of a campaign with the same book.

Now, that I caught you, I could also check some other artwork as well! There was some quite nice pictures from CotCT that I'm still not sure who made them. Couple of examples:
Pact Hall from "Tower of the Last Baron" was simply amazing!
Orcs at the Gates - this one and couple of others (Cinderstorm, Attack of the Jigsaw Shark, heroes leaving Korvosa...) were all made by same artist, but it doesn't say whom.
Quarantine - I love this picture! I love chokers crawling on the rooftops! :-)

Not sure either. It's a cool pic though.

These were all made by one Kevin Yan. you can check out some of his other work here.

This one was done by a guy named Andrew Hou, I think. He's done quite a bit for Paizo, from the Red Mantis assasination, some the dragons from Pathfinder 4 as well as the Picture from Pathfinder 1 where Illeosa is getting her soul tainted by a very nasty dragon. You can check out his work here.

Actually... I think the choker illustration of Old Korvosa was actually by Julie Dillon. I'm not 100% sure, but it looks more like her art style than Andrew's...
Yeah, the choker illo is Dillon.
Thus, I imagine they didn't want to make the duelist too locked to Golarion but rather an illustration of a typical duelist in any world.
I'd say that a duelist from Golarion would have a sufficiently generic look to her, unless they're going for a specific look (like Bonerattler from the Shackles, who has bones sewn to his leather armour - and yes, I just made that up, but I am reading Storm of Swords right now, so I was inspired).
Rather armored for a 3.5 duelist, perhaps...Rather armoured for a duellist, surely?
Although cool, nevertheless.
Tease!

You have no taste, Ser. To think that you bear the same name as me.... ;-P
It's WAR!-worthy and I do not say that lightly.
Which just proves that there's no accounting for taste - I got a friend who hates WAR with a passion. He really does. I can't understand it, either, but that's how it is. Of couse, I make sure to show him every new illustration I can when he's visiting :D

It seemed that way to me too. Well, I'm off to find Miss Dillon's website. :)
Thanks everyone for the informations! :-)
