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.

Zarak's box art clearly explains that he not an evil half-orc assassin but an evil-half orc assassin. That's probably why he's short - he's missing the good-half.

There may oddly be some truth in that statement!

From The Shady Dragon Inn (1983): ZARAK™ Evil Half-Orc Assassin is heavyset (5'9", 240 lbs.) and has crafty dark eyes. He favors dark clothing and a dark blue hood so he blends with the shadows. ZARAK is half-orc, but acts like a full-blooded orc. His leather armor is dyed black, and he has a magical dagger that glows softly within 15' of hidden gems or jewels. ZARAK now hates PERALAY, though he was once PERALAY's friend: when the two of them were exposed to the rays of the Heartstone, ZARAK's cruel and evil nature was brought out while PERALAY's good nature was brought out. ZARAK wanted to steal the sacred stone, but PERALAY prevented him, and he has hated the elf since that day.

Looks like this is the last character piece from this artist, but it's a good one!

The art is fantastic for this release. Mike Lim's work has been fantastic and I can't wait to see more from him. I loved his Zombie T-rex piece in Tomb of Annihilation, but these character studies of the LJN characters are just awesome.

Those eye-stalk harnesses wouldn't work at all. Otherwise, I love the art.

Wait, it's the snail harness you don't like? Not that snails are notorious as one of the slowest creatures alive?
