If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

D&D art, what does it mean to you?

Jeff Dee and Erol Otus defined D&D for me in the early days of the hobby.
"Meh."

Huh. Looks more like Newt Gingrich scoping out his next wife to me. Obviously art is very subjective.

A 20-year old political reference, that's the best caption you got?

The great thing is that it can go either way!

I have no nostalgia. D&D art is a set of illustrations designed to supplement the text as to describing the look and feel of the game world. It's there. It does it's job. It's over. This is a good thing. I feel the same about all game illustration, including my own. If it doesn't do this, it's a bad illustration, though it may be good art.

To me, D&D is Trampier and Otus.

Nothing else comes close.

But Dee, Willingham, Fabian, and a few others were quite good as well.

I was never a fan of Easley or Elmore (though there are a few pieces by them that are okay).

I've liked art from all 5 editions of D&D.  I remember the Elmore art perhaps the most fondly, since that was my first exposure to D&D via the redbox.  

While I didn't care for 4th edition that much, I really enjoyed the art- very colorful.

Yeah, I like some of the 4E art better than anything since 1E. Not the core books, but the art in some settings books and adventures.

Which versions have the way too many belts and leather bondage outfits and the don't stand so close to me and my armor of many spikes? I think the spiky version was also the one with the swords the size of ironing boards.

Was one of those 4E?

That was 3.x

4e was the ACTION POSE!!1eleven art of Wayne Reynolds. Who is now the main artist for Pathfinder.
