If we are talking crap airbrush fantasy art a'la Luis Vallejo, then hell no.
If we are talking stuff like Brom or Diterlizzi then it is a whole other matter.

If we are talking the illustration from the 3rd edition books, I think they are neat, but lacks character. Much like present day super hero comics.

Also not all anime and manga is in that über-cute style. You can find some really gritty stuff too.

Am I confused or did you combine the names of Luis Royo and Boris Vallejo on purpose because you feel they are the same?

No, I see my little boo boo now. (I am beginning to remind myself a bit fo my mother ).

Anyway they have plenty of similarities.

I think most of os will agree that Tony Diterlizzi rules though. He certainly has style.

I luv them both for different reasons.
D&D style cause thats the only way I seem to draw and anime cause I think I"m a closet anime freak.

I'm a huge fan of futuristic anime

Anime all the way. Yu Yu Hakusho, Rouroni Kenshin, and some of the DBZ stuff. Not too mention the stuff you actually have to hunt for in the US.

Oh yeah, can't forget Cowboy Bepop!! or Pilot Candidate. (Hmm what TV station do watch alot?) Favorite anime so far? Hard to say. It might be Ran: Green Legend, or E.Y.E.S. on Mars, or maybe Iria, perhaps umm what was it called? I think it has something to do with a Ghost train, but I forget. It's been years since I've seen it.

Personally, I find anime easier and faster to draw, so I like to use that style while drawing, but I enjoy both style.

I don't like anime at all. Most D&D pics are cool though I totally hate some because they're not the way I imagine they should look like (which I'm not going to change)

2nd editon drawings especially on book covers are the worst. In my opinon anime drawings are much much better. But recently 3rd editon came out much better than the 2nd editon. But still anime rules all like I have said couple of types people in Japan make the best drawings. People in the U.S. make the best movies etc etc.

I like both, but prefer manga/anime.

Not all amime is that super-cute-puppy-eyes-girl type, with most anime and manga being very adult in style and context.
