Since it popped up elsewhere I thought I would share it here in more detail for those curious. Seems just enough off of the topic of regular D&D to get it's own thread.



I was going to copy and paste a bunch of info and pics but a decent summary came up here

I may try to grab a set just for the artwork and as a comparison piece.

I'm not entirely convinced this is real, just because they're so cliche and tropey. Fighter girl looks like she was copied wholesale from something I've seen before, as do the little kids.

The dragonborn looks like a completely different art style (and looks like a stock dragonborn, with no anime-ification applied, with too much scale detail on the head and too... gritty)

The girl looks like straight out of Handyman Saito in another world. So I'm calling shenanigans unless it was repurposed from another place to illustrate the article.

From WotC offical Twitter that was in the article:

Popular illustrator #チョモラン (@huusen_uri) designed the characters in the "Deluxe Play Box" "Dragon of Mount Ice Spire" with original settings, and released the PV.
Please take a look at the popular voice actors who are in charge of the voices of the characters!

You can look up the artist if you want.
