For more than a hundred centuries, the Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne. The master of mankind by the will of the gods. A rotting carcass writhing with power, the Carrion Lord for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day.

This is the biggest FU to AI art that #WotC could have done.
This is so joyful and amazing. I love it so much for so many reasons.
Thank you #WotCStaff and the Jim Henson Company for making this.

Proud to finally present Di's corrupted appearance! I'm so happy with his redesign. In the spirit of my 2026 goals, I'm not going to make the third ref (his "typical" appearance). Instead, I'll depict it in the form of drawings. Hope you enjoy this ref series!

The Immortal King is taking significantly longer than planned... because I went for significantly more detail than planned. And because I was offline essentially since the 19th until today.
