Friday Art Attack

It looks like today I'm going to have more than the normal amount of Paizo art.  Oh, well.  They've done some good stuff.  Or commissioned some good stuff, more accurately.


A Wayne Reynolds piece where some of the iconics are fighting a bunch of demons and stuff.  If I remember correctly, this is Mythic Adventures; the ultra-high level stuff.  I think?  EDIT: No, it's one of the Wrath of the Righteous covers.  But that adventure path was the one that specifically highlighted Mythic Adventures content, so that makes sense why I got them mixed up.


A very skinny gnoll.  Technically, it's actually Yeenoghu from a 3e era publication.  But he's the patron demon-lord of gnolls and looks like a gnoll himself.  There was much better 4e art of him, for what it's worth.


Although I don't remember where I got this, I think I can recognize Master Chief when I see him.  Unless it's just derivative of Master Chief, which isn't impossible.


Two versions of the same illustration; orcs in New Paizo.  Not a bad piece.  These orcs are much more ape-like in many ways than most of their prior illustrations.


Paizo iconics again.  Cribbed from the blog, I think.


And again.  I know Paizo is proud of their inclusiveness, but in reality, what they do is favor pictures of "tough", unfeminine and unlikable adventure gals.  It's a shame that their art is ruined by the use of so many of these iconics, which end up being the weakest link in much of their art.


Yet another.


I don't remember what this is from, but it sure is weird.  It begs for some explanation.
Another tough nature girl and her kitty.  Sigh.


Pretty classic imagery here, although updated to a "dungeonpunk" aesthetic, as it's often derogatorily (yet curiously accurately) called.


One of my favorite of the wrap-around Eberron covers.
