Just the photochop, IMO. I think the overall quality "as pieces of
art" is ok (of course, there will always be someone better).

However:

but also that the overall style is less dark and moody than it used
to be (with notable exceptions, sometimes more in library cards than crypt
cards), and the dark mood is what makes Vampire... Vampire !


Agreed! "a game of gothic horror" right? I wouldn't mind seeing more
blood and severed limbs and such. Not just to have a shocking effect,
but to fit the theme, as Orheus said. Changing the background color of
retainers would be good too, I don't like the happy orangy thing.

So I'd like to ask to anyone currently in charge of the VTES illustrations
department, or a WW representative : what are the criteria of choice for
VTES illustrators ?

I asked something similar when doing one of my anti-photochop rants a
while back. Got no answer.

Would like to point out though, that a few artists are able to get the
right mood, IMO. Brian LeBlanc's art in SoC for instance.
