New Nymph Illo

[Renaissance Man]

Check out the new nymph illo on the WotC Revision Spotlight page. A huge improvement over Elmore's version, which IMNSHO resembled nothing so much as a groupie for a hair-metal band.

Huzzah!

If she'd just trim the ears ... roawr.

I wonder where these Nymphs get those robes from? Probably the same tailor that does the Balor's loincloth!

I do think there is some historacle precidence [not much] for Nympths having a wrap. Much better than the pron star illo of 3e nonthe less.

Wow...looks like a Nymph should look like...but I love that Dryad so much...it actually blends into the tree!

While I think the artist is technically skilled and it is "good art", it doesn't appeal to me. I don't like big ears, for one thing, and I'm a HUGE Elmore fan, for another.

But, heh, we all have different tastes. There's plenty of art and artists to please us all!

The face is less-than-perfect, IMO (that face would be that of a succubus in disguise). I acually liked the 3.0 one.

 

[Wormwood]

Anything would be an improvement over Elmore's static, boring and uninspired hack jobs.

In. My. Opinion.

A good pic in itself, but I think the wrap is a bit much. They're supposed to be able to kill things when they are looked at, since they're so figgin' nice lookin'. So...how would that ability make sense if you only really see her from the neck up?

EDIT: no, wait. Check that. The wrap's only there so decency-freaks won't go after WotC. Reasoning: It looks like a plastic tarp she just picked up, not an actual article of clothing. Besides the fact that you can see her wavos.

And another thing. If Nymphs have Charisma 18, this would imply that a creature with CHA 19+ could possible be more beautiful, which brings about the question: If you're hotter than a nymph, should you get the same kill-on-sight ability?

The nymph has ears? I didn't notice!

Suddenly I want to play a druid...
