Nice!

Wait… does this mean you’re gonna be updating your Brown Dragon with new art? Because that underground combat scene with a brown dragon is one of my favorite art pieces you ever shared here on ENWorld

No, I don't plan to. I like that art as well.

Dragonix's Deadly Denizens Vol. IV June Art Preview #1: Three different sets of wight archetypes (warriors, specialists, and spellcasters), will rise from this month's issue, providing you with enough wight variants to fill your campaign needs.

The Kickstarter for Deadly Denizens IV (5.5e) launches next month, July 7!

Deadly Denizens Vol. IV June Art Preview #2: The Witch (CR 4) is this month's NPC, along with variants the Elder Witch (CR 7), Witch Coven Mother (CR 13), and Witch Queen (CR 20). They should be enough to build a campaign around, and bring all the classic witch themes to your game: coven magic, shape-shifting, poppet binding, and witch-themed spells.

Dragonix's Deadly Denizens IV June Art Preview #3: The Tenebrax is a subterranean horror resembling a massive, rock-camouflaged slug armed with nine barbed tentacles surrounding a tooth-filled maw. Operating with primal cunning, it hangs silently from cavern ceilings to ambush and violently snatch passing victims from above. Biologically adapted for lethality, the creature utilizes vibration-sensitive spines, toxic saliva, and a devastating ultrasonic shriek to disorient prey.

The kickstarter of Dragonix's Deadly Denizens IV launches July 7!
