This is a classic. Bunch of grinning murder hobos lynched the fuck out of that baby dragon and stole his loot.

Dragon or Inquest Gamer, because I remember Inquest getting an angry letter from a pre-teen talking about how subscribers get the sexy covers, but newsstand copies didn't and the it explicitly pointed to this art.

>>49870240
it's Brom, so probably late 90's or even early 00's.

From the painted fantasy comicbook epic "El Mercenario" (The Mercenary) by Vicente Segrelles.

It's not a particularly riveting comicbook storywise, but it's gorgeous.

Whilst Caldwell was the undisputed champion of hot women, whether of the braids and buckskins, skimpy mail armour or revealing robes, Keith Parkinson wasn't a slouch either.

(And also, I love Lord Soth's Charge up there)

I think this was supposed to be Ren o' the Blade from the Pool of Radiance series of novels, although I could have sworn he had a beard.

A stalwart of British fantasy art, this is Chris Achilleos. The skeleton with the big axe and the fancy hat from Fighting Fantasy also made an appearance in an old Warhammer Fantasy Battle rulebook.

And another British artist, who is probably remembered more for the WHFB skeleton horde pic (The one with the "We are Legion" banner.) This one was in the same WHFB rulebook as the big skeleton above.

Every time I see this pic I'm reminded of someone shouting "hey, look" and then taking a photo when they do.

Also, who's that curly-haired woman on the right supposed to be? L to R, it's Raistlin, Caramon, Tanis, fucking Tasslehoff, Flint, Goldmoon, Riverwind, Sturm the best knight, unknown. Is she supposed to be Tika? Because for shame, Elmore, she's supposed to have big knockers. She's known for those and the frying pan.

Now here's Tika as she's supposed to look.

That's Sigourney Weaver, anon.

What I don't understand is why? WHY?! Why the fuck would you move from the top artstyle to the bottom one? You got more pixels, you got better graphics, artists can use computers to modify drawings a little faster. Why not improve on the artstyle on top? Why move to this shit with PAULDRONS OMFG?
