Pathfinder Online art style to draw from Paizo artists?


Pathfinder Online


I’d just like to say that all the art from the Pathfinder Rule books and adventure paths are just stunning. I was wondering if Goblinworks was going to work with Paizo artist to bring that style into Pathfinder Online, or is PFO going to create its own art style for the game?

Either way, I’m super stoked for a Pathfinder MMO and I’m sure it will look pretty; but seeing the art from the books come to life would be really awesome.

If they don't then I'm going to cry.

I love Pathfinder artwork, except the mangar elf ears ;)


Honestly, I favor the manga-esque elf ears - slightly pointed ears of the 2E art style belong on Tieflings.

And I would gladly shell out for quality work from the Paizonic Art establishment.

And I'm with TheAntiElite. I prefer Pathfinder-style elf ears to anything else.


And thus starts the second elf-ear-war

Thank god for that. I love the Pathfinder art style. It's enough into the fantasy over-the-topness without being overly absurd.

As far as elf ears go, either way works. Elves smell bad no matter how big their ears are.

I'd love to see Wayne Reynolds do the concept art...and maybe more.

Tangentially, halfling foot hair should be lovingly rendered. Especially on the ladies.

And we should never see female dwarf beards, given theirs are not in a safe for work viewable location.
