I've noticed that the bard picture for the website frankly, sucks. So I looked around and found something that I thought would fit well with the class, as well as the style of pictures that all the other classes and races get.



I think this fits pretty well and is a big improvement over what we currently have.

Admittedly this is from a Magic: The Gathering card (Druid Lyrist) but then again, the picture for the ninja is from a Magic: The Gathering card too (Ninja of the Deep Hours). And the Druid Lyrist is pretty obscure, while the Ninja of the Deep Hours is actually a fairly common card. Almost every blue deck in the pauper format uses them.

Anyways I'm pretty sure we're flying under the Wizards of the Coast's radar. Nobody is going to care.

Here's the current image:



Notice that the one I'm suggesting is basically the same picture, just, less sucky.

The ninja one actually fits in the least out of them all, besides the bard one. They all almost seem to come from the same place they're so similarly drawn. The bard you suggested is better I guess, but still seems slightly out of place. Anyone know where the rest came from? Maybe we can get a bard and ninja from there? The current ninja isn't bad. But it doesn't fit like the rest

The current bard picture was drawn by an AR player.

That's really cool. Can we get whoever did that to do a game map?

When this was brought up that came to my mind, but i wasn't sure if it was the truth. Honestly I think it's an awesome picture. Very impressive. But it doesn't fit with the rest, if that makes sense? It's almost like a different genre I guess or whatever the right word is. Honestly i don't think the one suggested is much better. And having one someone drew is super cool. I'm alright with it staying. It's just the class page picture...

Okay, I did not realize that the current bard picture was made by an AR player, so sorry if I caused any bad feelings.

However, even with that being the case, I'm sure you'll all agree that THIS picture wins hands down, and absolutely MUST be our new bard picture for the website.

its a simplistic STYLE water color/pastel composition vs all the others which are more complex realism compositions. its essentially like looking at night and day. This is not to say whether its good or bad. It is what it is. But it doesn't fit.
