D&D General Art that defined D&D for you

[doctorbadwolf]

I love those, but since they so "good" I feel they don't meet the OP requirement: "Not the best, or technically superior art, but what the scene actually represents. "

They asked what defines D&D for us. I answered. Please don’t nitpick other peoples choices in a fun art thread.

Probably a mix of the Dragonlance artwork that doctorbadwolf used, and Tony DiTerlizzi's Planescape art.

My apologies, I can tend to do that. I just felt that there is so much good art that this thread could could easily get flooded with beautiful images (I know I have many). I have several DL images of my own that were very influential, but I wanted to find those that are bit rougher around the edges and thought that is were the fun in the thread lies. But we each have our own perspective and I can appreciate that!

PS I was agreeing with your choice and explaining why I didn't choose them. Not really trying to say they don't work for your answer.

Love that shield! Though I am not sure why only her legs are armored!

You know a bebilith's ability to rend armor? Yeah, uh, the rest of her armor was ripped apart by a bebilith. That's the story. Sure. We'll go with that ;-)

Sigh, someone had to post that darn Giant Spider picture. So terrifying. If I were an adventurer and saw that, that'd be my last dungeon crawl.

For me, undead and skeletons are a formative part of my D&D experience. Undead remain amongst my favorite monsters:

That trap with the skele was definitely on my mind. Glad someone posted it

The worst part is that they don't see it!
