It saddens me that the Elmore art is nto being well-received, though.  You're not going to find many grognards who like Elmore's art, particularly his B&W stuff. He's very closely associated, rightly or wrongly, with a period in the history of TSR and D&D that marks "the beginning of the end." I myself like some individual Elmore pieces, but, overall, I find his work too sanitized and formulaic. |

I guess I'm one of these Grognards who like Elmore's art, but then again, I was introduced to D&D during Elmore's years. I too find some pieces I do not particularly like (I don't care for the chicks and chainmail bikinis, personally), but some others are just masterpieces, IMHO.

Take heart. Gary Gygax's favorite FRPG artist was Larry Elmore. |

Actually, the game doesn't even have the Elmore art anymore. Took it out when I did the red cover version.
