D&D (2024) Here's The New 2024 Player's Handbook Wizard Art

Generic powerful caster, too clean, too shiny, give me a bit more grit and realism, not this superhero posing. Dr Strange meets Wakanda

Wrong edition.

Heh looks like a mtg card to me. Nicely done though.

It specifically reminds me of some Strixhaven art, with the floating magic symbols.

Not a criticism. I like this art.

Wrong edition.

I know, just wish it weren’t, at least not to this degree…

yep, reminded me of MtG as well. Technically competent, no doubt, just too generic for me to care much for it. I liked the Fighter art better

Same, this is pretty but I'm tired of heroes in context-free generically cool poses. I miss the old school art that more often than not tended to tell a story. It's been this way since 3rd edition and while it's gorgeous, it lacks soul.

I just want to see some D&D characters who are actually wearing their backpacks....

 

[Jaeger]

What spell will she be casting? It looks so... anime-style.

It seems the anime-fantasy style art is here to stay…

Looks cool. I like the glasses. That’s a nice touch.

I do agree about the context-free poses. They’re a bit stale. At least add some tension and conflict. Straining with the spell. Something.

I wish it was anime art. It would stand out more. Look cooler, too.

If only. There’s nothing anime about it. Unless you stretch the definition to include glowing sigils in the air as “anime art.” Which is not exclusive to anime. Dr Strange has it.
