I said it before, I'll say it again.

Ug-lee.

The human makes me giggle.

It's not so much glowing eyes as a reflection of light. You see the Dragonborn and Gnoll both have low light vision. The warforged has an embedded component magic item that provides low light vision or darkvision, which is possible since the eye colour is slightly different than the dragonborn and gnoll. :P

I still like this art. Especially the warforged. I'm always happy to see non-photo realistic art in games and such. Realistic stuff always has so much... brown. "How do we make it look realistic?" "Add more brown."

Gnolls are seven feet tall. I wonder how many people have emailed him regarding that matter.

Other than that it's pretty snazzy character art! He's done better, but he probably didn't spend as much time on this as he did on things likethe Prince Of Persia picture book.

True, most gnolls are, but perhaps the players character that he drew is not that tall. Could be the runt of the litter. Or an adolescent that is still growing. pre-teen gnoll rogue running around in game.. *Shudder*

It's not as if gnolls can be different sizes in different settings, after all!

Mike plays World of Warcraft, too, and gnolls in that setting are about the same height as dwarves.
