Unfair request... there are tons of good artists on D&D, I'll give you a couple of shots tho:

What what?

 

[Hussar]

Great stuff, keep it coming.

 

[Quickleaf]

I'm not sure if this piece was done for a project, but it is one of the William O'Connor pieces I love and consider it worthy of the Top 20 of all time.

William O'Connor Studios: Flight of the Paladin

Oh, and maybe some of you recognize this one...as a piece of art it's OK, as an iconic image of D&D it's legendary.

2 + 0 pictures. No, that's not cheating.

 

[Tom Servo]

My absolute fave image has simply got to be the 2nd Ed Invisible Stalker:

Brilliant!

Honestly though, simply too many to narrow down for me.

Edit: My image seems to have disappeared?
