This is the kind of stuff I find inspiring - vast intricate landscapes, living terrain, and deeply weird monsters.

Oh! Also the art of the animated Hobbit and The Last Unicorn, which were both done by Topcraft. Something about that highly-stylized dark fantasy art really does it for me.
(Again, not the feel I actually get from D&D, but the sort of idealized form of how I endeavor to make my D&D games feel.)

I cast "Baconstorm!"
We tracked buckles like we tracked ammo in our 3e/PF games.
Ah, the glory days!
This is one of the quintessential D&D art pieces to me.
I love Erol Otus' work. His art evokes the feeling of an otherworldly realm that is unlike anything in our real world.
Peter Mullen is another artist who has a similar approach.
I also have no idea why there isn't a campaign setting built from the work of Moebius.

I think the fact that this man has an obvious herniated abdomen might be why my high school friends and I had a hard time playing D&D seriously.
But this is how I want to play D&D:

I find it interesting that there are so many people evoking art that they would prefer their games be. What's stopping you? the rules? the players? the culture? The publications?
I know the struggle to make 5E what I want, but the D&D I want (tone wise) and I see in the art is still there -- it's just in another edition.

Like, the game doesn't let a dragon hold you in its mouth while you hack at its face. That's just not a mechanically viable tactic, so it doesn't happen.
My fantasy heartbreaker ruleset keeps rule complexity low while still encouraging perilous situations like this. I don't like that fights are an effort to grind down the other guy's HP. I'd rather it be an effort to put them into a perilous position, and then delivering a killing blow.
