I definitely can see the Botticelli in her work now. Some great covers.

I am assuming the second major artist the article mentions is Angus McBride, my personal favorite.

Me too. While I like McIntosh's stuff, McBride is the seminal MERP artist for me.

I admit that McBride's art drew me into MERP so many years ago, and then allowed me to bring a few friends to the love or RP/MERP.

Im a fan of the Jorgensen artwork for the 1st edition (color) Rolemaster sets. Back in the early 80's it was grittier than the D&D aesthetic.

Hey! Like the game itself. ;-) (I still cannot use the emojis.)

It just occurred to me that Jorgensen was the artist for Iron Wind cover (color) and Cloudlord?
