E1 Art Gallery: Woah!

Wow, that is shockingly good art. I am impressed.

#9, 13, 14 - Are these the new inevitables? I really like the look of them and are kind of how I imagined how non-clockwork inevitables would appear. Although, I had them with more crystal.

Those are the Blackstar Host. I have only perused the module quickly, but I don't think they have a connection.


The poster map in this module also rocks pretty hard. I can't wait to stage some battles in those locations.

Overall, with a quick perusal, the mod looks good. I have a paladin of the Raven Queen in my group so meeting her deity face to face is going to be a very humbling experience for her. Can't wait.

When I get a more in-depth (more concerned about Arcane Power right now) then I will know better how it will work for my campaign.

Oooh! What's on the poster map? Is it shown in the map gallery?

Major edit:
I am totally off my rocker, they are in the MAP gallery. For some reason I didn't see that you asked for the map gallery.

The links are in Klaus' post below.

Unfortunately no.

One of the chambers has this awesome floor emblazoned with two angels and a series of runes I hadn't seen in any D&D tile or poster map. The angels are rendered in the 4e style. It is apart of a larger complex filled with angel statues emanating blue cones of light. There is also a large, stone dragon head in this image.

Another is this sort of rectangular, rune covered ziggurat surrounded by a small, 5 foot wide moat of water. It is crowned with some form of blue crystal.

Finally, there is an stone arch of some sort, surrounded by ivy-like carvings.

I haven't read enough to really know what these places are, but the depictions are top notch.

More than anything, the detail is really nice. Lots of little runes, symbols, and other carvings festooning on the maps.

Sounds like these:

Came into the thread expecting to be disappointed - a lot of 4e artwork is really poorly done and looks like it was made in Poser (PHB page 203, anyone? The elf looks dreadful, the foreshortening is plain bad and the dragon looks like someone took a photo of a D&D miniature from four inches away) but this lot is actually really good. Kudos.

Yes....were they in the gallery and I not see it?

Edit: Gah....for some reason I didn't see that he asked about the MAP gallery, not the ART gallery. Reading comprehension is your friend.

I am having a bad "internet day" I think.

Thanks for the links and thanks to alleynbard for the descriptions! Good teamwork!

For me the poster maps are often the 'tie-breaker' when I'm trying to decide if I should get an adventure module. I really loved the one in P1.

These are beautifully rendered, but I think they're a bit too specific to be useful in many circumstances. So I'll have to wait for a review of the actual adventure.
