An illustration of a mythical suit of armor, the Babr-e Bayan, on top of an abstract watercolor background.  The armor consists of multiple parts - a scale mail chestpiece, a golden helm with crimson tassels, and a studded belt with a lion motif on the buckle.  A maille hauberk & striped fabric undergarment is folded within the armor, and a leopard skin is wrapped around the ensemble.

A revenant paladin with pale blue skin steps out of a wet bog, his leaf-themed armor the color of golden leaves & rust.  Clad in earth tones, he wields an intricately fashioned flail with a wilting rose motif.

A werebear pirate captain leaps from the top deck of a ship to attack a half-elf ranger and a human wizard below.  The wizard is melting silver with his staff, which the ranger has dipped their arrow in, aiming a red hot arrow at their assailant.  The entire scene is drenched in rain, illuminated by the flash of electric blue lightning in a dark storm.

Painting depicting a massive serpent crashing through the gates of the great city of Al'Kirat, stopped in its tracks by a formidable storm giant wielding a relic of ancient power.  In the background, the armies of the free city pour forth from the walls, beset by the projectiles of the undead horde, felling soldier & building alike in bursts of flame.

I think they just revealed the art in the last day or two, done by the amazing Loren Hontalinna & Hannah Friederichs

That would be great, something with a lot of mechanics and tactics to take advantage of would be awesome

A little bit of Critical Role Fan art to start the day- Thought it would be fun to do a sketch of Matthew Mercer's upcoming CR4 character, Sir Julien Davinos. Looks super cool, always a big fan of swashbuckling type characters. Wonder what class he will play!

Next steps: I will be finishing up compiling the art and will be sending the book to the printer as quickly as possible, so stay tuned!
