Maybe even more so than Elmore, Caldwell has been responsible for some of my all time favorite covers of D&D books and of Dragon magazine. Between his contributions to the Mystara / Known World Gazeteers to the covers of Ravenloft products.
This one from the cover of Glantri Gazeteer is one of my absolute favorites. I have to think that the red-headed spell-caster had some influence on my own Larina.
Not from any book but I do love this image.
Now, this is from a book, the Celestial Steam Locomotive by Michael Coney, and one of my favorite books to be honest.
One of my favorite adventures.
One of my favorite covers of Dragon.
Larina certainly got her name from Laurana. I came up with her while reading the Dragonlace books.
And of course Strahd himself, from the cover of Ravenloft and Ravenloft: House on Gryphon Hil.
Great stuff really. I love his work.
