I must say, the Carc1 adaptation over at CarcF is looking very good so far, and going very quickly too. This is the most recent work-in-progress image from Ratz65:
I am happy to have chosen into the old-art style when I got into Carcassonne last year, as any new-art-only official expansions will likely be fan-converted into the old art... and the blank tiles to make it will be cheaper than buying the official new-art release. Quite a workable solution.
