Art Upgrades: Flamethrower

Posted by yafka on February 24, 2008

One of the most appealing features of V:TES is the quality artwork that White Wolf puts into the cards. Admittedly in the early years of the game the art used wasn’t of the best quality. In the years since with the release of new expansions, familiar cards have been reprinted with artwork, sometimes getting an upgrade.

In what will be a continuing series we’ll look back at these reprints and judge if it was an upgrade or downgrade. Here we’ll look at the card Flamethrower.

Flamethrower was introduced in the original base set back in 1994. Here we see a standard image, drawn by artist Brian Snoddy, showing a guy holding a flamethrower. Not a bad painting, pretty straightforward.

Several years later it was reprinted with a new image by Matt Wilson. Here we see a much more active visual of the flamethrower in use.

Final judgement: Upgrade
