Those Book of The New Sun covers are some of my favourite pieces of art, period.
There's something about the narrowing of vista and close up of the presumed subject over time that is fascinating yet lamentable. It's a phenomenon well captured in photography's art history, where once broad panoramas to talk about surrounding details beyond the subjects has been reduced to the modern subject-only perfection of "the selfie." These images call to mind vistas of strange new worlds and the wonders therein, a slowing down and taking in of awe. Whereas the modern fantasy art corpus (Magic the Gathering is likely now the largest purchaser & purveyor) shows how strong the favortism toward "selfies-as-proxy-power-fantasy?" has shifted. The less dynamic action shots, lack of extreme close ups, broader & classic composition, interspersing of details... it gives you an image to look upon in greater relaxation, less dynamic tension, and discover more nuance over time as it is savored.
Trends over time are fun stuff for me. I miss MtG hand drawn art over the MtG computer drawn art terribly. For the greater resolution of detail from technology, strange features of artist's character seem to be absent. Like I could name artist's work by their style alone across CCGs once upon a time, but as of late it's all CG studio with far too similar repertoire. It feels a great homogenization has swept over the land...

Oh, it's been a noticed trend among the art historian, and especially the photography art historian, for quite a while now. I'm just noticing its presence in professional commercial fantasy art. It is a fascinating study of either the modern mind in a highly information saturated society, or, a product of democratization & reproduction technology. (The latter follows a pattern where photography became more affordable and reproduceable from negatives, and our modern ages's correlating advance of digital arts simulating traditional art media.)

I'd say that it matches how many TTRPGs have been shifting. They've been shifting away from exploration and towards more character customization for a long time.
Same with fantasy/sci-fi fiction in general for that matter. Early works were largely Tolkien style journeys & mostly an excuse for showing off the cool world. Later works are more like other fiction with the backdrop of fantasy/sci-fi.
Neither is better or worse - just different - and seems to coincide with the trend in the artwork.

There's some new art I like as well, but typically when it's not lone character striking a cool pose, or even worse, lone character standing facing the viewer. DA's honestly got some good stuff if you don't mind wading through the garbage, but it seems like the best isn't making it into rpg illustrations.
Such mind-blowing genre-defying art.... and most old school games consists of elves and dwarfs facing Orcs. :D
I wish we had more Gloranthas, Tekumel and Jorunes.

Keith Parkinson! So that's the guy! Yeah, he definitely captured a lot of that TSR D&D mood for me. Something about his high detailed vistas. The current trend of xtreme! washed out, fuzzy backgrounds doesn't really work for me because I don't think eyes truly work that way. Eventually fuzzy, yes, but not so soon, and palettes fading into pastels, not so reliably (time of day lighting matters).
My duck-duck-go-fu pales to yours!

He still has that look, if you read Howard's stories. The text hasn't changed, it's just that body-wise, Arnie has never been a good fit for the role:).
This picture, however, or a picture of a similarly-looking heavyweight boxer/MMA fighter, would be a good representation;).

Well, this is freaking spectacular.
And I still... haven't found... what I'm looking for... [/singing]
Seriously though, my google-fu is failing me. There was a poster a boss of mine had on his shop wall, of a black-robed and bearded wizard flanked by (or facing?) a disparate bunch of demons. And this guy wasn't even a gamer, he just thought it looked cool, so maybe it was a rock and roll thing and not a nerd-core thing? But it didn't have any band name or title, just a straight up illo. Had a very 60s or 70s look to it, though that could be deliberate and done later.
It's driving me nuts, but here's something else entirely I stumbled across while looking. Cover from an otherwise regrettable fantasy series, but stripped of context it's a very D&D moment to me.

Also I put a name to the artist who illustrated some of Lovecraft's paperbacks: Gervasio Gallardo. I'd love to find some of these in full poster size, without the titles.

This thread is amazing. Thank you.
Quote from: Tristram Evans;953003Okay, I've been putting it off, but I know what you're all thinking...
This thread needs more ELMORE...
I like Larry Elmore; I wish we had more non-D&D pieces by him. His D&D stuff looks like he got everything right, like that's what a dragon is supposed to look like by the book, but there's not always any new inspiration in that for me the way there is in some of these random forgotten novel covers.
I also fault Elmore, perhaps unfairly, for the "characters standing looking at the reader" illustration style we're still stuck with today. At least his have the saving grace of being full pieces, with some humor as in that dragon coming up behind them, and not just the lone figure or the naked police line up of later editions.
Anyway, tax:

Janet Aulisio is a polarizing artist, for reasons I don't quite understand. I saw one person online refer to them as "the Leifeld of RPG art," which I think is complete BS even if one doesn't like their particular style.
I'll start with some colour work, but these don't do it for me in the way of Aulisio's pen & ink pieces...

Here's Gerry Daly's cover to the science fiction story that likely inspired the displacer beast.
(http://www.icshi.net/worlds/images/large/voyage_pocket_1981_gerrydaly_large.jpg)
That's the one I'd seen before, but it turns out he's a latecomer, it's had a lot of cover illos. Here's one of the first, by Graves Gladney.

Quote from: Tristram Evans;953623Having never read the book nor actually encountered the monster in a D&D game despite its iconic status, how do the two interpretations differ?
In powers they differ quite a lot. The Coeurl of the story of the story is a four-legged pantherine with fingered tentacles, strong enough to tear a man apart, highly intelligent, even educated, effectively immortal as long as it can feed, capable of naturally manipulating radio waves and electricity. It does everything but displace, though it's ability to negate the energy weapons used against it might conceivably have inspired that. The Displacer Beast always appears offset from it's actual location, has six legs, tentacles described as weapons rather than having fingers. Both are intelligent, malevolent, predatory, and solitary, although I've never seen much done with a Displacer's Int score.
As far as I can tell the original, pre-novel short story is out of copyright, so I don't feel bad about linking this pdf (http://www.digital-eel.com/blog/library/Black_Destroyer.pdf).
Taken together with
Discord in Scarlet and the
Voyage of the Space Beagle novel they both got worked into, the movie
Alien ended up paying van Vogt $50,000 out of court to settle a plagiarism suit. The creatures and characters are all different, but the overall plot is strikingly similar.

Quote from: Tristram Evans;953703*He-man themed pics snipped for space*
These were really nice. I like seeing the setting depicted in a less cartoon derived art style. Eternia always felt like it had allot of potential as a setting and I'm old enough to remember when the original toys were first release and it had a more "serious" mood than the little animated show. Honestly, Eternia is a big part of how I visualize Exalteds Creation.
Much of this last page has a strong Michael Moorcock vibe!

^I like the immediate above for a dragon, much better than D&D's correct and official 4-legged fliers.
Beautiful! Thanks for posting all this Tristram!

Wow, it's humbling to see Warduke's stats now after all these years. We've really been submerged in power inflation that his two magic items (+1 sword and infravision helmet), and attribute scores, read lackluster to today's hero standards. And yet his look is more iconic and inspirational to me compared to the Wayne Reynolds ungapatchka (festooned!) heroes of late.

I love Warduke. And you have a point there on the power inflation.

Frazetta's compositions are breathtaking. There's this tense dialogue with back/foreground that further inflames the composition. They are so dynamic while simultaneously speaking to a depth (suggested parallax) to the scene, it pulls you from the obvious artificiality of the dramatic compositioning into a breathing, intruding, immediate tension -- and boom, you're there. The artifice of the tableau's posing is transmuted by passion and enthralling depth of view into a visual climax worthy of any of the past Romantics. There's such a fiery intimacy, that I bet even his thumbnails and draft sketches must be somewhat overwhelming.
Which gets me to those hyper-realistic images. Technically, they are gorgeous, and I do love their compositioning, too. But for some reason there is a flatness I have trouble putting my finger on. Somehow, for as much as I complain about the fading and dithering of fore/backgrounds elsewhere in modern CGI works, these intensely passionate scenes don't seem to work as well in hyper-realistic style as much as pastorals. I think it might be Frazetta understood how human vision selectively occludes detail during moments of great passion and danger? I don't know, but as beautiful as those works are, the difference between them and a master like Frazetta is plain.
(It's an unfair comparison, I know. But comparing is how we puzzle out our ideas of things.)
Which gets me to Kaluta. I love it, it brings to mind an Art Nouveau fugue; an Alfonse de Mucha line work, with a sometimes Maxfield Parish coloring/lighting. Works really well in contemplative, social, inner tension scenes. Never saw him before but another great call back to past movements. I feel Rebecca Guay is akin to this style, however trying to tame watercolor into her own etheric version. Kaluta seems better in control, but I wonder how much is about his medium and how much is his excellent draftsmanship.
keep posting! I got nothing to share because I'd lapse into CCG stuff and then this topic will go to pot. :)

This! This is the poster a non-gaming, football watching boss of mine once had on the wall of his shop. Which is pretty impressive reach I think, and an argument against painting solely for gamers, or to get things "right" to match the text in a game book. Why limit your market?
I remembered yet more monsters/demons somehow, so I could imagine this image being cropped or their being two versions, but most likely my mind filled out some of those suggested shapes on the edges. It's definitely the same one though.

On a somewhat related note, I had been assuming that backsides and bare nipples were fine but full frontal nudity or anything more explicit should be, at best, blocked?

Technically Full Frontal Nudity includes visible genitalia. If the woman has no pubic hair and her legs are posed so you miss seeing the vulva by a millimeter or so...it's not Full Frontal. For example, that red-headed Lycanthrope chick you spoilered wasn't Full Frontal Nudity thanks to shadows. Same with the barbarian chick chopping up the beastmen.

Indeed.

I dunno, I've tried to keep it tasteful, though we're all adults here. But yeah, I'd say detailed full frontal could generally use sblocks I guess. I'll leave it up to people's judgement. Basically the rule of thumb I'd use is that it should be inspiring as art first, rather than primarily just erotic titilation. Wouldn't want the thread filling up with porn.

IMO this is one of the very best fantasy illustrations I have seen (McBride again). You can almost sense the clammy skin of the mewlip and the water bubbling into the boat, and you can see the brilliant artist hand in the brushwork too

There's allot of really beautiful art in this thread. I find the landscapes and vistas to be the most inspirational.
don't you ever fade back into the Mists, thread!
love Rackham's line art. looked familiar, and yet never knew who it was. great thing to learn.
and thanks for recognizing Mary Blair and company for their modernist contributions to our fantasy vernacular! they really capture that childlike wonder through a childlike visuality -- and yet it is hard to truly emulate unpracticed. it's the use of space, reduction of shading and contour, and bright color palette that really makes it work.

The guy understands and expresses things like light, humidity, dust better than anyone else. Much as I like Angus McBride and Graham Turner, I have to say that for José Daniel Cabrera Peña to be an illustrator for Osprey almost seems like artistic slumming.
His B&W works are great too:

As for the movie mattes, I prefer the more surreal ones like Black Narcissus and old B&W horror mattes:

Quote from: Tristram Evans;957227Probably about time for some more Frazetta...
(https://i.redd.it/1ng29hn3fwzx.jpg)
This one is by Ken Kelly, not Frank Frazetta. Most of Kelly's knock-offs are easier to spot than this one: The women Kelly paints tend to have average-to-big asses, while the
average Frazetta girl has an ass that ranges from Jennifer Lopez to Alexis Texas to Kim Kardashian. Frazetta's women usually have Faye Dunaway cheekbones, too.

Really? Did he take a few mods with him, too?
Well done, guys.

Well, you know the old saying. While the cat's away the mice will stretch the original premise of the thread. Let's have some of Piranesi's
Imaginary Prisons from the 18th century.

Housekeeping: when known, I suggest posting an artist's name. Handy if someone wants to track down more, and we can more easily search the thread to check for duplicates before posting. I know I'm already saying screw it rather than page through the whole thing each time I post.
Soane's Bank of England as a Ruin, by Joseph Gandy, 1830.

I strongly approve of the expansion of this premise, Dave.
What's with all the FATAL covers and gross out pics?

Unfortunately closed, as Tristram Evans had a hissy fit and decided to edit his posts with garbage. Which is about as mature as you'd expect from someone who Goes Away Forever from the forum because someone has different political ideas from them.
