I wish you weren't so sad, @el-remmen. I mean Otus no disrespect, but Larry Elmore's work is just so iconic for me. His work graced the covers of so many of the D&D books that I grew up with. Bargle and Aleena. The Red Box Rules. The Expert Set. Dragonlance. For better or worse, Larry Elmore's illustration style has become the very definition of "what Dungeons & Dragons is supposed to look like" for me, forever.
I'm not going to trash-talk another artist, especially on flimsy arguments of my own invention (my personal preference, my own opinion, etc.) Suffice to say, Erol Otis is a very talented artist, and his work has also graced many a cover of a classic D&D book. He has definitely earned his place on the list, and deserves his Top Seven ranking. His work isn't my cup of tea, and there's no helping it...but that's my problem, not his.

Don't worry, I am just playing. I would not be upset if Larry Elmore won, I feel much the same as you do about his work (though Otus remains my fave and DAT is up there, too). On the other hand, more strategic downvoting to get rid of artists on the list I find technically good but stylistically uninspired would make me happier.
