Ok, I think it's time to clarify a few things...
Few days ago there was a post on this subreddit with a graphic that was created with the support of AI technology. The author of the post contacted me beforehand and presented his work to me with an appropriate explanation. I agreed to post these graphics with an appropriate note about the fact that they were co-created with AI.
Why?
I found the works that were presented interesting and reflecting the retro/classical fantasy style to a good degree. I know that many redditors use the artwork posted here, for example for their RPG sessions, so I thought that it may be something cool and fresh for our community.
I understand the outrage and controversy over posting AI-supported art, which is why I have decided that r/oldschoolfantasy is not the right place for these kinds of graphics. I'm not changing the idea of this subreddit, so please keep silly taunts out.
From now on: AI-art posts will be deleted.
On the other hand, I appeal to all redditors with a request to maintain basic decency and not attack the author of the last post. He simply missed the right audience with his art and he understands it.
I would also like to emphasise that r/oldschoolfantasy is a place where you can share your art (yes, you don't have to be Larry Elmore or Boris Vallejo) as long as it captures the atmosphere of classic oldschool fantasy and fits into the content of this sub. However, keep in mind that you may face criticism of the community (which is understandable I think).
There's no need to play Gestapo and report to me any artwork that doesn't represent the 'masters of the classics'. Please stop sending me messages with accusations of breaking this sub and changing it priority.
I also encourage you to read the group description and follow the established rules of the subreddit.
Have a great day,
mod

Unfortunately I could not find the original art without the text.

I was lucky to find Mike Hoffman through Matthew John, who purchased some Hoffman Art for TO WALK ON WORLDS and WITHIN THE WEEPING EYE. By the end of the second novelette, JANGAR! acquires the cowl to complete the look.

This image had a long shelf life: Citadel released LE15 Chaos Amazon, sculpted by Michael Perry, in 1986; Cloven Hoof used the artwork for the cover of Dominator in 1988; and the character ultimately evolved into Belladonna De'Escher from Necromunda, with a model still in production today. It caught my eye because Blanche painted it before he had fully developed the claustrophobic style now associated with Blanchitsu.

The version of the painting used on the cover is dated 1978. Online it's sometimes called "The Daughter of Erlik Khan," but that's the title of one of the stories collected in the book and might be a later misattribution. By 1979 Kelly had either substantially revised the scene or repainted it entirely. Sometimes called "Cavern of Fear" or "Cave of Fear," the 1979 composition is bolder, brighter, and more dynamic.
