D&D (2024) Copper Dragon Preview

[Stormonu]

Human? On the right? I thought that was a 2014-style Halfling playing another lute. The figure on the far left is clearly using a tamborine and the dragon is "dancing" in a way that seems to indicate it should have castanets.

This picture is so over the top and silly. It is not to my liking, as I generally prefer my artwork more towards a serious tone* and a bit on the gritty/dark side.

* One of my favorite pictures is 2E's "The Dragon Slayers", but the characters there are attempting to be serious.

Pay that funky music, owl-boy?

Maybe the dragon thinks they taste like chicken. Hard to tell what dragons are thinking though. Best to stay away.

"I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna-" acid breath

I like this tricksy little dragon's redesign. Now we just need the Brass and White dragon and we have seen them all.

There is a Brass in the PHB.

 

[Charlaquin]

Ugh, that neck.

What’s wrong with it? Looks like a lizard neck to me…

 

[RoughCoronet0]

There is a Brass in the PHB.

I did see that one, but I was meaning we haven’t seen their reference art yet like the others.

 

[MarkB]

Looking closer, is the dragon playing air guitar?

This is my least favorite so far; of course I can't even remember what it looks like currently.

 

[Tonguez]

I think it's an owlin playing the lute.

I've only just realised that Owlin have wings and arms and are as big as humans - thats terrifying, theyre effectively humanoid Owlbears

oh Owlin bear totem barbarian for the win!

Why silly? Copper dragons have long been described as pranksters who like to ‘host’ bards to entertain them and laugh at their jokes (- why are you not laughing?)

(- why are you not laughing?)

It could have been a brass dragon and everyone playing trumpets- with a punny title like The Big Brass Band.
