That doesn't qualify as recent, and certainly doesn't qualify as "since the mid 90's".In general, I'm bored with Elmore. I've been seeing the same paintings for 10 to 20 years; Lockwood's more contemporary, and while he's got some weak works, his best is far above Elmore's best. Nostalgia doesn't beat skill. Besides, the gratuitous beefcake is offensive.The only Elmore work that I really like is the pen & ink stuff from the Red box. And that's damn near pure nostalgia.Oh, and as I said back when 3e hadn't yet hit the street, I like the anachronistic dungeon punk look. If I can run a campaign with a (n intentional) western flavour and dark * matter inspired secret societies vying for control of a standard issue war-torn fantasy setting, then my pcs and npcs can have a look that isn't plain and simple. And besides, what's so much better about Elmore's style of clothing? It's not like dragonlord armor and chainmail bikinis are more realistic than Hennet's belt fetish.</blockquote>
