Who is your favorite cover artist currently working?

Um, dude, that ain't Erol Otus....it has a similar style, but it sure isn't Otus (unless he's going by an alias these days....)

Cheers,
Colin

Of which I'm very glad- I actually have not been a big fan of any Erol's work in his "return" to D&D since the GG 3E days. His style has changed over the years, much like Jeff Dee's has changed, into something I don't really care for anymore. His TSR work is a different story.

Mullen has some of that Erol style quirkiness, and similar usage of strange colors, and as the OP asked- he's my fave working in the business today.

Michael Komarck: I love his cover for the 4e PHB3.

Larry Elmore: the Red Box cover.

Jeff Easley: the cover for the 2e PHB, my first RPG book.

Tony Sczcudlo: the cover for the Birthright campaign setting. (Is he still active? I have no idea.)

Gerald Brom: the cover for the original Dark Sun campaign setting.

Wayne Reynolds

I was going to go with the annoying fella. But Dan Dos Santos art just blew my mind.

 

[Dausuul]

Always a fan of Erol Otus. But also Michael Komarck.

I must spread some XP around before giving it to Ycore Rixle again, but--damn. That link is teh awesome.

While I like Wayne Reynolds, I'd love to see more variety. With both Pathfinder and D&D using him, the visuals tend to blur together into a homogeneous mass.

I also love Todd Lockwood, Steve Prescott and Michael Komarck, but I'll try to list different names:

wow, Dan Dos Santos is pretty sweet.
Also liked Gonzalo Flores's Saga work.

 

[Chainsaw]

Mullen's awesome, love all his work on S&W, XRP modules, Knockspell and Fight On! covers.

 

[Aus_Snow]

Chris Quilliams, if I had to play favourites.

Mike S. Miller too, if he's still doing that kind of stuff.

 

[scruffygrognard]

Michael Komarck.

Wow!! That's some awesome art. Thanks for the link.
