Another Dungeons & Dragons: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms original art sells for a huge price!
Last Sunday, the original painting for Magic: The Gathering’s Bruenor Battlehammer by Wayne Reynolds sold for $26,000 in an auction on the MTG Art Market. Bruenor will be featured in the upcoming crossover MTG set Dungeons & Dragons: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms this July.
Bruenor Battlehammer is a work of acrylic on artboard measuring 10 inches by 14 inches, and it was commissioned for Adventures in the Forgotten Realms set. The Dungeons & Dragons character was the eighth, tenth, and thirteenth king of Mithrall Hall, and he’s a friend to the heroic elf drow, Drizzt Do’Urden, who’s also featured in the upcoming crossover set, and whose own painting sold for $155,000 earlier this week.
The opening bid for the Bruenor Battlehammer art was $8,000, and the auction was run by Vorthos Mike, the agent for the artist. The art was sold with a final bid of $26,000 to a private collector.
