The half-orc paladin and dwarf cleric in the PHB are beautiful. A lot of the art is impressive, with the exception of the halflings. I hope they don't end up using that mindflayer, orc, or ogre art. Looks like the same artist that did the halfling stuff, and I'm not a fan. Really, really hoping these are placeholder images. Thoses axes... gah.
I appreciate the decrease in "dungeon-punk" style throughout the artwork in the Player's Handbook.
Haha, don't buy the Eberron Campaign setting then, when it comes out!
Is that Owlbear supposed to be part undead? The "beak" is exposed bone and teeth.
