Brief article using a lot of illustrations of Dave Trampier.
I had the thought, what if your next campaign only used monsters illustrated by DAT? Or build an adventure around those monsters. Something similar could be done for creatures by other artists. https://www.heavymetal.com/...anual-dave-trampier/
Take your inspiration from where it comes. Although it seems like a limitation to take ideas from a single artist it actually frees the DM from having to pick from everything. And during the quest your art will have consistency which is as important in a game as it is in a book.
