[QUOTE="Kobold Avenger, post: 8066770, member: 779"] So this is a general thread about art in D&D sourcebooks. I'm familiar with the art starting from 2e when I actually started with D&D. I feel that it was definitely Larry Elmore for Dragonlance, but I think there were a lot of Larry Elmore art across many other settings. There's many things about Larry Elmore that make we strongly think about the 80's too, after all outside of D&D, the iconic Shadowrun cover is in fact done by him and that's quite into influences of that decade. With 2e it's without a doubt Gerald Brom and Thomas Baxa for Dark Sun, Brom I feel is probably also the most strongly influenced by Frank Frazetta. For Planescape it's Tony DiTerlizzi whimsical character art, and Dana Knutson's spiky architecture that established the look and feel of that setting. I'd definitely say a lot of 3e especially Eberron was all from Wayne Reynolds, and his association with 3e was so prevalent he went on to do a lot of the art with Pathfinder as it established itself as the "continuation of 3e". For 4e and 5e I'm less sure of who would be the main artistic direction of each. [/QUOTE]
