D&D 5E So Much Witchlight Art!

During a video this weekend, WotC's Chris Perkins, Ari Levitch and Kate Irwin took a look a The Wild Beyond the Witchlight. You can watch the video below, but if you can't, EN World member @darjr has kindly collated a bunch of screenshots of the incredible variety of art within, along with some notes.

• The Feywild is a brighter reflection of the world like the Shadowfell is dark one. Prismeer is an archetypal domain.
• It's very easy to get lost. Time and space can bend or twist.
• No combat is required.
• Rules of the feywild include rules of reciprocity and ownership.
• Archfey Zybilna (sp?) is missing, so this domain of delight has splintered into Hither, Thither, and Yon.
• The carnival is a gateway to a plan of emotion, the feywild.
• More whimsical nature with a twist of wikedness. Inspiration, Willy Wonka, James and the Giant Peach.
• All the maps are by Will Doyle and Stacey Allan who worked closely early on with Chris Perkins.

That’s cutesy and creepy. Weird would be a return of the cocaine-fueled ’70s psychedelics. Erol Otus art, crashed spaceships, hidden nuclear reactors, time-lost civilizations filled hollow world, and samurai cats on the invisible second moon.

WotC has used new Erol Otus art recently:

And, spoiler alert, there was a crashed spaceships, a time-lost civilization, and basically a nuclear reactor in Icewind Dale.

I love how different this is from other recent adventures...

Also that beekeeping giant is a fantastic idea.

 

[Azzy]

I love that displacer beast kitten!

A Feywild cyclops, but not a 4E cyclops. Missed opportunity. (Guess it wouldn't fit the tone, though.)

It's beautiful!

I don't know if this has already been mentioned, but one of the miniature sets includes a character named Thaco, which I thought was hilarious for some reason.

Thaco is also a clown…..

 

[Demetrios1453]

Thaco is also a clown…..

I bet his personality is hard to figure out and somewhat counter-intuitive...

 

[darjr]

I bet his personality is hard to figure out and somewhat counter-intuitive...

I wonder if they'll be tough to deal with?

He'll confuse the hell out of some but others will understand him perfectly. There will be much gnashing of teeth.
