Dragonlance Elmore's 'The Four Women of Dragonlance' Painting Is Finished

Back in February I mentioned that iconic D&D artist Larry Elmore was working on a new 'Women of Dragonlance' painting. Well, it's now finished! And you can buy a print of it!

For those who don't know Dragonlance, who are these women and what are they noted for?

 

[Paul Farquhar]

Well, 75% of the women have pants.

I see five women...?

BTW, so. Nostalgic.

In that case 60% of the women have pants.

For those who don't know Dragonlance, who are these women and what are they noted for?

From left to right, they are:

• Goldmoon, one of the Heroes of the Lance, she brought knowledge of the gods of goodness back to Krynn after becoming a disciple of Mishakal, the goddess of healing.
• Tika, who joined the Heroes of the Lance late in their quest to stop Takhisis (the goddess of evil) from conquering the world.
• Kitiara, Highlord of the Blue Dragonarmy, one of the five main military forces that tried to conquer the world for Takhisis.
• Laurana, princess of the elven nation of Qualinost and one of the Heroes of the Lance.

Also, the dragon in the background is Skie, Kitiara's dragon partner during the War of the Lance who later become one of the Dragon Overlords during the Age of Mortals.

Were there only four (five) to paint? No wonder they’re having trouble updating things for modern tastes.

Elmore’s fantastic. Takes me back to the BECMI boxes.

If you're referring to the dragon, he's male.

Or is this a "there are five lights" thing, to which I say:

For those who don't know Dragonlance, who are these women and what are they noted for?

Left to right:
Goldmoon: barbarian chieftain's daughter, and bearer of the crystal staff, which has healing powers (important because the gods have left Krynn, and magical healing has been unavailable since), kicking off the conflict in the Dragonlance Chronicles.
Tika: barmaid-turned-fighter, specialized in the lost art of frying pan combat.
Kitiara: dragon rider general in the BBEG's army, past love interest of Tanis Half-Elven.
Laurana: elf maiden, past love interest of Tanis, leader of the good guys army.
