Are we voting based on the artist's D&D art? Or their entire ouevre?

Yes. Absolutely.

Frank Frazetta is the GOAT.

I recall stories of publishing houses would also go to his home, and ask if there was any artwork of his they can use. Anything would do, as they would find a novel to which they could use it on.

And if you look at alot of the original Conan Covers, that was Frazetta!

Something I learn from visiting the museum is that he had a stroke later in life and lost a lot of use of his right hand.

So, he self-taught himself to do everything left-handed and continued to do artwork with his left hand. The museum contains work he had done left-handed. It's amazing that the quality of what he was doing with his off-hand is still so high. You can tell a difference between what he did left-handed and what he produced right-handed, but even the stuff he did that was "bad"(by his standards) is far beyond what I can even dream of doing.

(My upvote was a close race between Trampier, Highgenbotham, and Tyler Jacobson. Frazetta is probably my favorite artist on the list, but I just don't associate him much with D&D specifically.)
