D&D (2024) Speculation on the art in the new core books

Great piece of art, but for me, gnomes have pointed ears and halflings don't. This is one of the reasons why gnomes and halflings are so inter-mixed artwise. People just have different perspectives and preferences for how to differentiate them.

I really don't like how the 1e Drow looked, I hope they keep the 70's porn mustaches away from them.

70's moustaches for Knights of Solamnia is fine. Drow? Less fine.

Here are paleontological uses of AI imaging to reconstruct skeletal remains of the reallife "hobbit", Homo floresiensis. They are about a meter tall. Note the large hands and feet. There is still debate about how humanlike or bonobo-chimpanzee-like the face should be, and I am skeptical about the accuracy of AI at this point in time. But for fantasy purposes, something like these seem realistic for a Halfling species.

Aw, c'mon. Here and there it would be HILARIOUS. But yeah, I generally agree.

So for D&D art purposes, analogous to elven pointed ears,
The telltale feature of the Halfling would be a prominent browridge and cheekbones surrounding the eyes. It reminds me a bit of goggles.
Meanwhile, the ears tend to be round and outward. The hands and feet are proportionally larger than for most humans.
They seem decent-looking.

Huh. I had no idea a "waistcoat" is the same thing as a vest.
And a second breakfast.
