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

[DarkCrisis]

I could post a ton of Elmore and various pieces of Dragonlance art but this Clyde Caldwell (I think that's right) one is one of my faves. I love the art style of 2E products and think it's the best D&D art has ever been.

Edit: pic is Jeff Easley not Caldwell

What's one of yours through any edition of D&D?

BTW, Pathfinder has some good stuff as well.

I'll go with one old, one new:

Though the Easley piece is way more psychedelic, both have a sense of place and moment, hint at a story already happening, and places already there.

I love the O'Connor stairs. Those are great.

I also really like this fairly simple one on the inside cover of the Moldvay Basic rules.

@DarkCrisis I just thought you might like to know that the picture is by Jeff Easley.

I'm always a huge fan of Willingham, probably because he reminds me of Mike Ploog's style (which I love). Outside of this one, I always default to these classics:

Jeff Dee's AD&D art always resonates with me. This is the piece I have on my desk at work.

Almost anything by Earl Otus. Keeping D&D weird since 1976

Russ Nicholson's work in the original Fiend Folio is unmatched.

Just assume I'm gonna like every post from any piece of art prior to 1990. Save yourself the time.
