i get today my "Dragons of Faerun" but it seems that not all art from the wizard-hompage are in the book.
It could mean that the thing the art related to was cut from the book (in the case of things like monsters or magic items) or just that they had to cut art for space reasons.
I like the style of artwork in DoF a lot better than the art in previous books. Races of Faerûn comes to mind.
And if the PCs DO win their ways through all the liches to Larloch, “he” will almost certainly be just another lich (loaded with explosive spells) set up as a decoy, with dozens of hidden liches waiting to pounce on any surviving PCs who ‘celebrate’ after they take Larloch down. As the REAL Larloch watches (magical scrying) from afar. Myself, as DM, I’d be wondering: “Such a glorious game, so many opportunities laid out before your PCs to devote your time to, and THIS fixation is the best you can come up with? Are you SURE you’re adventurers?” -Ed Greenwood
