Lolth, the iconic spider-goddess at the heart of Dungeons & Dragons’ first adventure, has received a major redesign. Earlier this week, Wizards of the Coast revealed three new Magic: The Gathering cards from the upcoming “Adventures in the Forgotten Realms” set as part of the launch of a summer-wide celebration of Drizzt Do’Urden, the iconic drow ranger and star of a longrunning series of novels by R.A. Salvatore. One of those cards featured Lolth, the famed spider goddess responsible for the corruption of some of the drow in Dungeons & Dragons lore. It’s been a few years since we’ve seen Lolth appear in any sort of official artwork and artist Tyler Jacobson mentioned that he had the opportunity to do a major redesign of the character while working on the art for the card.
Lolth, Spider Queen. This is my original painting of Lolth for the upcoming #mtgafr set. AD @zack_stella This one is near and dear to me because I had the opportunity to completely update her design during visual development. #dungeonsanddragons #magicthegathering #lolth #drow pic.twitter.com/QlqaeI3SQs
