Oh geeze . . .

Leonardo DaVinci, Botticelli, and Michaelango are my favorite artists . . . period. Oh, I was wrong, Arnold Friberg and James Christensen are also my favorites.

Okay. Anything done by an LDS painter or fantasy artist.

I can't believe I'm the first to mention Frank Frazetta! What is this world coming to?

Sad, isn't it? Amazing how this crowd thinks the likes of Erol Otus or Jeff Dee is "classic" and "old school." Get off my lawn, you ding-dang raggamuffin kids!

Todd Lockwood is a god! If I ever meet him, I will prostrate myself before him and declare, "I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy!"

Todd Lockwood really does it for me too along with Frank Frazetta.

For a more "cartoonish" feel, I really like some of Arnie Swekel's work - Haunting Echoes MTG card is an absolute special - as well as Iain McCaig's work in the Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks - in particular City of Thieves and Deathtrap Dungeon. Were they cool or what?!

Funnily enough, Elmore leaves me statically cold and Erol Otus is amateurishly frigid. However, each to their own.

I personnally prefer the more realistic gritty illustrations for D&D books to the cartoony ones. Right now I'd have to say Justin Sweet is my favorite D&D illustrator.
