I second that!!! :-)

I find the base images rather ugly, because a lot of details of monsters
are obscured by the perspective. I <em>really</em> like some of the new
"classic" images like the big wizard, the Dread Knights, and the
<shameless self-plug> Dread </shameless self-plug>. Let's face it, the
base image Dread looks like a cartoon puffball with an eye. It just does
not live up to the Dread's reputation of being a very dangerous giant
beholder, much less its *name*. My Dread image at least looks scary, as it
should be! ;-)
