The white dragon looks very...birdlike, there.

I don't think they;re gonna top the awesome picture at the front of the Character Classes section in the PHB for White Dragon illustrations soon, if ever.

I like the swordwing, but then again, I like bug monsters.

You mean that dreadful picture with plastic rendering, garish colours and bad posing?


This white dragon is awesome! Lars Grant-West did the Black Dragon page on Draconomicon, which was the best depiction in the pre-gen pages of Draconomicon.

And that's the Swordswing which lives in the Underdark. Kinda cool. It collects rare items. Flying pack rats with blades of swiftness.

This has probably already been mentioned elsewhere, but that is so a Scyther .
edit - Hehe, only took 7 posts in the other thread. Guess I'm not the only one who saw this immediately.

I really don't like the white dragon.
1- it looks like an albino griffin, not a dragon
2- the wings. The giant hunchback to connect them to the body looks really odd. If the body were a bit longer and they actually connected to the sides, rather than the top, it wouldn't look quite so freakish.
3- the head looks like it was cut off something else and just stuck on in a frankenstein-esque manner. It doesn't match the rest of the dragon.

I like the design of the white dragon, but its pose looks off to me. There is no sense of weight. It looks like it should be impossible it to stand like it is (with only its left legs supporting it) on the sloping ground. The feet that are in contact with the ground don't really appear to be bearing any weight. Maybe white dragons in 4E can levitate.

Wrong. Thread. I'll shut up.

I really like Arnie Swekel's work, but man, that Worg looks AWFUL!

Well I like the new worg but it looks almost exactly like the guulvorg from MMV...

As mentioned in the OTHER art thread (hey, mods, can we get a merge?), that's a Guulvorg, a "war worg" creature created by hobgoblins. It was originally from the MM5.

No, I think he means the relatively awesome one in post #584 of this thread. You must be thinking of something else.

The art is awesome, but damn.. that is NOT a worg. I just saw the picture first, thinking "oh, it's a displacer beast or something? Cool.". Seriously.. hope we will start seeing some more mundane enemies soon.
