D&D 5E Meet Ravenloft's Harkon Lucas and Rudolph Van Richten

WotC has shared some artwork from Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft, featuring the titular vampire hunter himself, and the darklord of Kartakass, Harkon Lucas.

"Rudolph Van Richten prepares for his next expedition, watched over by the spirit of his son, Erasmus."

"A born liar and shape-shifter, Harkon Lukas orchestrates elaborate manipulations.
He's rarely seen without his signature wide-brimmed hat; wolf's tooth necklace; and violin, which he calls Bleeding Heart."​

I really like the idea that Van Richten's son is basically his ghostly sidekick/house keeper at home.

Why is Harkon Lukas wearing a 1970s leisure suit?

He is a Shapeshifter AND a Dark Lord: he can wear whatever thing he bloody wants!

Is, um, the son drawing a certain appendage on Strahd's lower half? Someone better keep that boy out of trouble...

Harkon Lukas there looks likely to inspire some seriously "thirsty" tweets lol. Man, that's a hell of a look. Solid gold lapels isn't a look every man can pull off.

I think it's just the wings but the artist didn't realize the "implications" of having just the sparkly smudge where his finger is and the fact the added wings were also made of said sparkly stuff.

For a table statuette with detail like the Pathfinder Iconic Seoni, this rendering of Harkon Lucas is perfect.

But for art in a book, I do not like that 3D sculpt rendering style for Harkon Lucas.

Will we see a future "Eramus van Richten's compedium of ghots and unholy creatures"?

Is ut just me or did Harkon use scotch tape his beard on?
