One of my all time favorites and it could grace the cover of any fantasy rpg - and the rpg in question should feel honored.
Great choice!

I agree: one of my all-time favorites.
Much as I love a lot of the modern art in D&D, very little of it transports me back to the wonder I felt when I first started playing. The nostalgia evoked by this one does it, though.
I'll say this, also: I'll never run B2 again without a full-color full-sheet copy of this piece on-hand.

Michael Komarck. This one, iirc, was in the 3e DMG2.

One of the greatest D&D pictures. WotC or the artist (if the rights have reverted) needs to make that a poster.

He does offer it as a 13x19 signed print for 37.50 (including shipping).

Smaller than I'd like, and a bit pricier, but still, probably just about the classiest bit of D&D art imaginable.

My favourite wotc-era piece. My only complaint would be the characters - they still have that WAR style to them, while I'd prefer a more "realistic" look. But the landscape is just one of those sense of wonder pics that really blows your mind.
Too much wotc art is just some random character flexing for the camera. Or beating up a monster on a white background.

Wik, I imagine that the WAR styling would have come from the art direction at WOTC since they are including the stock PHB characters. At least it backs way far back from the whole Dungeon punk thing.
Late era 3e had some absolutely stunning books come out. This one and a number of images from Tome of Magic are some of my favourite D&D pieces of all time.
It would be fun to see a sort of collage of how the art has evolved in the game, from Trampier and Otus in the early days to Elmore and then Brom then WAR and others like Michael Komarc and Raven Mimura in 3e. ((And no slights were meant by missing some big names in that list - just picking names that came to mind. Yeah, I know there are LOTS of big names))
