Coooolnessss.
I'm not a fan of Strahd wearing bright colors, as they like to paint him recently. It makes him look like a Vistani. Strahd favored conservative tailored layers of black over red. In fact, I'm not a fan of how they have been visually portraying Strahd at all, with the long hair and such; Stephen Fabian's brooding portraiture will always be how I picture the Lord of Barovia.

Black and Red is so 1,000 years ago! I assume Strand chooses a new outfit every new millennium or so.

I like the variety here! One thing I've always enjoyed about Ravenloft is how it really spans the horror genres- you've got mad scientists and headless horsemen and dark fey and vampires... Fun stuff!

 

[Zoltar the Sage]

Thank you Lord Morrus!

 

[This Effin’ GM]

Really enjoying the frankenstein inspired image

 

[Azzy]

I love that we're getting jiangshi.

What’s up with the mad scientist’s right arm? It looks like it’s supposed to be turning transparent or something.

I really like the second art piece. Just a group of travelers looking down at the town or city below.

So, tiefling horns come off the front of their head, while hexblood horns come off the back?

 

[Paul Farquhar]

What's this? Haunted lightning rail? Eberron domain?

 

[Istbor]

I don't know what that dancer is, but I like it.

 

[Steampunkette]

Look at this! Look at the composition, the color values! The way saturated and desaturated colors play against each other to make the fire look brighter and more dangerous even though it takes up less canvas retail than any other component.

LOOK AT THE MAGIC. Look at how ethereal and delicate it looks. So light you could blow hard across her fingertips and disrupt the spell.

Look at the attention paid to these beautiful natural curls! The springiness and soft cloud combo that is their hair.

Loving this art dump!

Agreed. I like how the fire is made to look out of focus but still sticks out quite well.

I’m not sure that’s Strahd. He’s fighting a zombie, and remember they’ve made Falkovnia into zombie apocalypse world. I think it might be Vlad Drakov.

That's not a Zombie... that's a Lich.

Look at the Crown. It's Azalin Rex of Darkon.

 

[Parmandur]

Groovy stuff.

Invisible Man maybe?

Right you are.

 

[Stormonu]

Not fond of the Strahd vs. Azalin pic, but one out of thirty is a pretty good ratio.

I’m really intrigued by the “hopping vampire” - would that be from Rokushima Taiyoo?

Dont think thats Strahd, notice the ears. Has to be Elvish or Half-Elf.
