Libris Mortis Art Gallery

[Stegger]

Hi,
I just looked at the posted art gallery for Libris Mortis, and it looks like WotC have almost excluded pictures with a cartoonish look, except for the cover look of course! To me this is really an improvement. What are your opinions about this? Is this a new trend or?
Cheers,
Stegger

Edit: the Shining South art gallery is up as well.

The picture for Profane Lifeleech is a character of mine.


Seriously, every single detail. Eldrej Neheli, cleric of Wee Jas. That's him.


Creepy.

I'm pretty pleased with everything I saw, except that there wasn't any art for bone or corpse creatures. That doesn't mean they won't be in there, but I had my hopes up for a 3.5 update.

The stitched flesh familiar is pretty darn creepy, too. Almost looked like a photo at first glance. Dirgesinger, True Necromancer, Ability Damage, Necrotic Burst and Wither limb were some of my favorites. (Does it make me a sadistic DM to like seeing PCs in distress?

Glad to see Tom Baxa still painting. I'm a big fan of his Dark Sun work.

The dessicator had me excited for a minute--I thought it was the Planescape "vacuous" from appendix 3.

Reynolds' Entropic Reaper, Evolved Undead, Voidwraith, Necropolitan,and Voidwraith are stunning, and the Slaymate and Wheep are downright disturbing. Just the way I like my undead.

I like the Diembodied Brain and the Half-Vampire Gnoll. The Forbidden Tome looks pretty cool.

Oh yeah, I wasn't excited about the cover, but I like what I see here. In fact, the cover is starting to grow on me a bit as well. Overall, the art is very nice.

I think I'll end up buying this book after all.

I am sure I am going to buy this book as well, and not just because of the high standards of the pictures but because I really count on this being an undead version of Draconomicon, just a tad smaller unfortunatly (192 pages.... :\ )

I think most of the pics look really good and creepy. I am even surprised to actually like a couple of Jeremy Jarvis (no offense...).

Even the tongue?

Creepy.

Hmm, yeah.

 

[Ryltar]

I absolutely dig this. Great art.

What's more: the Book has the Visage in it? THAT Visage?

*must get book* *cannot control* ...

I was rather disappointed with the art, actually. I guess my hopes of it being as good as Draconomicon was too optimistic. At least it wasn't as bad as I feared for a moment, after seeing the mummified ogre and the ghost brute illustrations from SS. :\ I liked the Forbidden Tome and the new antropal illustration, though.
