D&D 5E Out of the Abyss - Pictures of NPCs and/or Maps?

[reveal]

Does anyone know if Wizards plans on releasing the pictures of NPCs or Maps in Out of the Abyss as a separate PDF, like Paizo did for Dungeon magazines? There are a lot of NPCs in Out of the Abyss and it would be great if the players could see faces to go along with the names.

Presumably you could get some/all of the pictures from some of the previews?

Yeah, I was able to get a bunch from preview articles posted throughout the interwebs, but I wasn't able to get them all.

I wish they did that like Paizo did for Dungeon.

TBH its why I usually look for a sweet high rez scan of stuff and download it to print out maps and what not.

The artists themselves offer their maps/art for sale on their own sites. Official release is the 15th(?), so I think you have to wait until then.

Yeah, Mike Schley has a couple of maps available on his site but Jared Blando has nothing yet. I was thinking the same thing; that when it's official (the 15th), they'll release them for sale. I just wish, if that's the case, they took into account those of us who got it early at an authorized Wizards dealer.

Richard Whitters did a lot of art for this book. But as far as I know he does not have a social media account of any kind so it's hard to contact him. I still want to know what art he did for the Monster Manual.

If anyone is looking for maps, Mike Schley and Jared Blando now have them all for sale.

Note to future me. Next time an adventure comes out that Mike worked on. Wait until the official release day.
