These art pieces are stunning, the artists deserve all the praise they can get for them. While I haven't purchased your Monster Manual Expanded books yet as I'm still a bit of a ways off from stepping into the DM role (and in the early stages of creating a homebrew world), these are at the very top of my list to purchase for sure. I also can't wait to see the eventual MME4 (even if its a ways off) and the art you are able to commission for that as well.

In the words of Ethan Winters of Resident Evil, "WHAT the HELL?"
Haha good thing you commented I forgot to mention the Halimaw already came out in an earlier edition. It is also known as the Devil Swine.

I was mostly just doing the very corny Resident Evil reacting to a very disgusting gross monster with a relatively funny reaction!

Man, I hope DM's Guild/Drivethrurpg get their s**t together and find an EU based printer before this becomes POD

Way to go, Nix. This is a very impressive book based on what we've seen.

Indeed, now get on to the next one already! ;-)
In all seriousness, cannot wait for next week.
I just wanted to share some numbers. Monster Manual Expanded III will have a total of 286 pages, 320 creature statblocks, and over 140 pieces of exclusive and nonstock artwork (with nearly all statblocks represented by art)! The PDF will retail for $34.99, coming only at 12.2 cents a page (the total average of the top 10 best-sellers ranges from 16-19 cents a page). Below is the breakdown of the types of creatures appearing in Monster Manual Expanded III. I separated the NPCs (customizable humanoid archetypes) from the Humanoids (goblinoids, orcs, etc.).
3 days to go before release!

Just curious, any particular reason for so few Elementals? Do you pretty much cover them in your previous books?
PS Just to be clear I am getting this book when it comes out, so it is not a criticism. I am just curious.
Good question. No particular reason except that there just wasn't enough to work on/build on (from previous versions), so I just focused on the 4 standard paraelemental types (ice, ooze, magma, smoke). I thought about giving different sizes/ages but I opted to just go for other creatures instead. I could still add them in later but I'm also trying to limit the pages to minimize PoD costs.
Oh and for your other question, yes. In the previous books, I added variants of the genies and standard elementals.

I also made azers, salamanders, xorns, gargoyle, and galeb duhr variants in the previous 2 books.
The additional salamander variants almost made it in MME3 but I ran out of time for the artwork so they will have to wait until MME4.

Did you just low key confirm that there will be a MME4?! My guy 3 isn’t even out yet and now I’m already anticipating 4
