4E Gith?

This art on WotC's site looks suspiciously like Githzerai to me:

Well, it says they're Githzerai in the one sentence blurb on the gallery page.

Ah, I saw it on the main page as a "daily art preview".

Where is the gallery page? (I haven't been able to find anything since WotC changed their D&D site.)

Click on the Words "Daily Art Preview"...

Yes, it's that confusing...

I like them. The guy in the middle bears a strange resemblance to Johnny Depp, but I like them. Smiling

Yeah, they look pretty nice...

The Githyanki are up too by the way.

At the risk of derailing this enturely into a "which monster looks most like which celebrity" (Lucy Lawless wins for the 3.0 Nymph), my girlfriend is horribly offended by your comparison*, and she should know - she has a restraining order and everything - poor Jonny Laughing out loud

* Specifically: "Jonny Depp is sexy, Christian Bale is not, hence therefore he looks like Christian Bale."

Anyone notice they're using the word "a" in relation to the Tarrasque now instead of "the"? Looks like it's become another victim of the "If an uncreative DM can't use it multiple times it's broken" design.

Well there was this planet completely populated by Tarrasques back in Spelljammer....

You do get the point though don't you? I could always be reading into this too much but it seems like the logical conclusion given the other evidence I've seen.

4th edition may be killing the Forgotten Realms and much of the established planar lore, but you definitely can't say they'd be failing when it comes to the art.

Well that's true. The art's definitely nice technically.

Anyone else notice the female Cambion?

Yeah. Wonder where they got that Cambion/Alufiend idea to begin with though. Not that making them even more generic is better. What's funny is that the original Cambion is actually allot more interesting that the D&D version.
