Not sure if it's my favourite but this guy from the rules cyclopedia has always stuck in my head.

Tony Diterlizzi's Shadow fiend/demon remains the gold standard for that monster's art, in my mind. His Planescape art defines the setting so well.

As for 5th edition, I adore this Venger art from the 2024 DMG!

And hard to go wrong with the OG astral dreadnaught by Jeff Easley:

This is also one of my favourites, although at the time the Manual of the Planes was published it was still called an "ethereal dreadnought" (see page 19), which sort of explains all of the strange crystals, bubbles and other shapes in the background. It seems to have been renamed in 2nd, which is also when it was first given stats.

The "totally stoked kuo-toa" from the 2014 5e MM has achieved meme status among my group:

That is not D&D art...

You are right. I jumped the gun. I saw your image, and it was so closely related, that I just pulled it up and posted. Sorry.
