The Draw of the Art
Hypothetical here. I’m not aware of any new D&D cartoon.
I’m a fan of the one from the ‘80s, which I own on disc. I’ve even forced it on my lilltle dude a couple times. A new series would be fun and likely introduce a whole generation of little ones to the tropes or D&D, such as it’s iconic monsters and spells. And as D&D becomes a bigger and bigger hit for Hasbro, I keep expecting more media.
But, let’s face it, a modern D&D cartoon is very unlikely to look anything like the classical D&D cartoon. It’s almost certainly going to resemble modern cartoons. And fans of the original are unlike to like what’s done with a reboot.
If you want a closer look at the art piece:
I considered colour, but I’m not that skilled. Maybe I’ll colour it in later…
The fact that Hasbro owns WotC/D&D is my sole mental refuge from the notion of a CalArts-styled reboot. They’ve done a lot with Transformers, G. I. Joe, and ponies, but they’ve always cultivated a distinct style with each that best suits the needs of the genre rather than taking an “off-the-shelf” style.
