Escape from Skull Keep by Clyde Caldwell (1988)

Escape from Skull Keep is a 1988 fantasy oil painting by American illustrator Clyde Caldwell, famous for his prolific cover art for TSR's Dungeons & Dragons. The dramatic composition depicts a fierce, blonde-haired female warrior in exotic tribal armor holding a scimitar and shield upon which a small winged dragon perches, accompanied by a bearded dwarf riding a horned reptilian beast. In the glowing, warm-toned background stands a menacing fantasy fortress featuring a giant skull entrance beneath a smoky crimson moon, embodying Caldwell's signature heroic fantasy style with rich textures and dynamic character designs.
