I regretted wherever your or Sam Wood's art was replaced or colorized, having rather appreciated it back in AU. I know that the players would have howled bloody murder about buying a color book full of black and white illustrations, but in my opinion the originals were often superior to the replacements. Jason Engle (I'm assuming he's the one with the JAE signature) and the artist who did the unsigned piece for the Magisters were both excellent, and most of the rest of the color art was good, but still I wish they'd left the original Wood art uncolored. His shading was excellent, and the switch to color removed most of the depth from it. I didn't mind them coloring the rune art, as it didn't mess with the original line work, but I'd've gone a different direction when it came to the sketchy-looking color pieces in the book.
