I don’t mind the hairstyles myself. It’s more the modern-ish clothing and shoes that bother me (like those glamour bards). I found it off-putting in the Radiant Citadel art and am continuing to find it off-putting here.

I know there’s been a lot of chatter here recently about moving D&D away from medieval fantasy but that’s one thing I like about D&D. If I wanted to play a game with people wearing modern-ish outfits, I’d play d20 Modern or a sci-fi game or something. D&D = clothing inspired by nothing more recent than the 1600s at the latest.
Sort of another instance of the D&D art team going with what is hip in fantasy art right no.

To be fair, the new PHB still has more authentic Medieval clothing than the 3E one did: more appropriate buckle quotient.

Those glamor bards are concept art. The final piece didn’t look like she had modern shoes.

Cool. I have to admit I haven't watched any of the videos. I've just been referring to the images people have been posting in the various threads.

Yeah, here’s a screenshot of the final version. I suspect the concept pieces were mainly to establish tone, especially given that the first of the two was such a direct Ziggy Stardust reference.

Oh, there is more where that came from, much of it with distinctly trad fantasy Medieval clothing.

I recognize Laeral Silverhand along side Drizzt, but I don't recognize the 2rd wizard, does anyone who she is?

Interesting to note that the imagine shows at least 2 heavily multiclassed characters. Drizzt is Fighter/Ranger/Barbarian/Monk and Laeral Silverhand is a Wizard/Sorcerer/Ranger.

The third one is Vajra, the current Blackstaff and High Mage of Waterdeep.
