The art of Larry Elmore

[Necromancer]

I first encountered the art of Larry Elmore on the covers of the Dragonlance books. A highly accomplished artist for sure, he employs a classical style and has a good eye for high fantasy.

I think enjoy all of the fantasy artists to some extent. Elmore holds a special place in my heart since his art was on a lot of the AD&D 2e Dragonlance material. That is sort of where I started with D&D.

A print of his Bloodstone Lands hangs in my bedroom over the corner desk. It was a gift from a friend several years ago, and was signed while we were at gencon catching up with each other. One of my favorite things he does is add the "critters" to the pictures: the small humanoid guys that have no discernible race. They bring to mind Gurgi from the Chronicles of Prydain, and I enjoy those stories.
