D&D General What's some of your favorite pieces of official D&D art from any edition?

Maybe not specifically D&D, but it was a cover Dragon:

This is probably my favorite red dragon of all time:

Personally, I never cared much for Easley's depictions of dragons - I liked Elmores & Parkinson's vision much better.

Though, Easley could do "wierd stuff" in a way that was as distrurbing as Otus's cthululist pictures.

I thought that was one of the best drawings of the OG red dragon design that actually followed the design in the 1e MM.

That Willingham image was so impactful to me, it was the literally the first image I used when I started to learn how to do digital coloring.

And when I did Bugbears&Borderlands a few months ago, I paid homage to it on the back cover

I'm not sure I could name a single favorite, but this Clyde Caldwell piece (from the AD&D 2nd Edition DMG, I believe) has stuck with me for quite some time:

Ah, yes, I was 14 when I first saw that one, and it has stuck with me, too.

I didn't even notice it was on the back cover! Awesome! Also, did you do the art for Bugbears and Borderlands?!

I agree, this was about the only Easley dragon I liked.
