An excellent artist anyway, even if not ENWorld friendly. I would love to see his take on fantasy, actually.

I think artwork depicting scenery and "nothing happening" are very inspiring. One of the things I disliked about 3e's art direction was that it was mostly action and character based, often just a close up of someone with their mouth open.

I don't mind character art - or some of it anyway - but I run screaming from the 3e style with the out-of-scale weapons and over-the-top look.

Give me something more realistic!

Speaking of which, do any of you know where to find non-cartoonish and non-ridiculous portrayals of Hobbits and Gnomes? Humans, Dwarves, Elves and to some extent Part-Orcs are easy to come by but Hobbits are rare and I've yet to see a decent Gnome picture anywhere.

For me? It's the works of Jeff Easley and Larry Elmore. Nobody else has come close.

This is very D&D-y art. It's the cover of an Appendix N novel - de Camp and Pratt's The Incompleat Enchanter - painted by Ed Emshwiller.

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

The landscapes say D&D to me and though I like deeply weird monsters, they don't say D&D to me. They feel more Cthulhu Mythos to me. I know the CM has a place in D&D, I just never went there with D&D myself. When I wanted that, I played Call of Cthulhu.
