4e had some gorgeous art, that's for sure! That was when I noticed Wizards moving back to full- and half-page illustrations.
I dig how you don't know if that bard is about to wallop you with their instrument or start playing it.
OK so I wanted to post this image by Howard Lyon from the 4e DMG to say that it inspired me to want to play a warlock in that edition, but when I went to look up the attribution for it, I discovered she’s actually meant to be a cleric (and yeah, now I can see Corellon’s holy symbol on her armor).

This bard from the 5e PHB. I wish I knew the artist's name:
I love the self-assurance. Here is a character who is ready for whatever the DM throws at her.

I think that piece is by Ned Dameron.

Looks like the piece is by Clint Cearley. You can see the art on his resume here:This bard from the 5e PHB. I wish I knew the artist's name:

I’m torn because the bikini armor makes me roll my eyes, but the style is beautiful.

Fighter.
A dragon in a dungeon? This fighter is on it. This is a guy with technique (shield up and braced, spear ready for the attack) and the confidence to execute it in the face of a life-threatening towering monster attack, while drawing attention to himself to protect the unarmored magic user.
Yes I want to play the front line fighter.
Deeply disappointed in how comparatively subpar spears are in most of D&D. This looks like a great weapon for going against this dragon.

The reason is because his wife in her underwear was often his reference model for a lot of the female drawings.

His wife didn't own pants?

I assume she did but "modelling in your underwear" implies you are not wearing them at that moment.

I've always wanted to play a wildfire druid who is a revolutionary working class hero and the "wildfire" is his manifestation of the spirit of change.
But on the other hand, a cute fire fox is great too!

I like sexy art in D&D. Not everything everywhere, but there are places where it is appropriate.
Especially when dealing with racy art, there needs to be mirroring between the genders − female, male, intersex − equally heroic and empowered.
The Evil is sexy trope can get cliche; there also needs to be sexy Good too. Paradise is sensual.

First Edition Ranger was my first class and love. Some of it was from Aragorn, but most was from Tanis. This picture sealed it for me.

Huh, I had never really noticed the Fourth of July feathers before. I wonder what bird/monster they are supposed to have come from.
