Players Handbook 3 chapter start artwork; Dungeons & Dragons. Β©Wizards of the Coast

Acrylic, Approx 21" x 19".

The Kuo-Toa were no match for the Monk and her Psionic companion, but the Aboleth rising from the depths might be another matter...

I always enjoy painting fight scenes with multiple figures, and showing the monk and her psionic companion kicking ass was great fun. Typically though I like to throw in a cliffhanger, will-they-wont-they, impending moment, and i think the beastie in the background does juts that.

To help provide focus on the figures I used the slanting light light, along with strong contrast between the saturated colour of the figures and the monochromatic desaturated environment.

I think the lighting in this painting, especially on the Monk, is exceptional. Overall it looks one of the strongest paintings of your's I've seen yet. To me everything you aspired to achieve has been achieved admirably.
