D&D General Art that exemplifies D&D to you.

because it was the late 80s and early 90s!

Sure, I know that. But you don't have to be giving your character contemporary haircuts. Particularly if you don't want your art to date.

I mean, WoTC didn't give all the female iconics "The Rachel" in 3rd edition.

Erol Otus's art always seems to be "gushing". Gooey stuff coming out of orifices. Is that intentional? Quite disturbing.

because it wasn’t popular anymore. The 3e era art is as dated as the Elmore art. It’s very JNCO, numetal with spikes and belts and chains. Right out of a Powerman 5000 concert, spikey two toned hair and all

I think of it as "oozing with charm".

And I approve!

The cover of Palace of the Silver Princess and the Basic Box are my two favs from him. His art definitely screams D&D, that's for sure.

Dragonlance.
I played D&D as a teen because of Dragonlance. As a kid I didn’t know D&D was A thing, and then didn’t realize it was the origin of Dragonlance.

Oh man yes!
I remember that my high school folder had that piece of art and I carried it with pride along with my long metal-look hair and a beard attempt that never prospered.

Someday. Someday I’ll have that image on the side of a van.

I tell you what: if I ever travel wherever you live, I promise we will paint it together.
