Drizzt Do'Urden illustration is sold for $155,000

The painting of the card Drizzt Do'Urden, by the illustrator Tyler Jacobson, had its auction done on the Facebook group MTG Art Market, which ended last Sunday, with a bid in the amount of $155,000!

Upon reaching this value, the painting commissioned for the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms set reaches the mark of being among the five illustrations auctioned for the highest price in the history of Magic: The Gathering!

The illustration is a work done in oils in Masonite packaged and measures 60.96 cm x 76.2 cm.

Drizzt Do'Urden is a drow (dark elf) who appears in several stories from the world of Forgotten Realms, written by author RA Salvatore during the last thirty years, and can easily be considered the most popular character in the famous Dungeons & Dragons lore.

Adventures in the Forgotten Realms will be released on July 23, 2021 and will have iconic characters and abilites, artifacts and spells known from the world of Dungeons & Dragons appearing for the first time in the form of Magic: The Gathering cards.

After announcing Drizzt's card, Wizards also mentioned that, for development and lore purposes, they view the universe of Forgotten Realms and the multiverse of Magic as separate universes.

Thus, we won't see some characters printed as Planeswalkers from the set like Lolth on any other planes.
