Larloch - Unknown Series by Jeff Easley (1998)

This legendary high-fantasy illustration is titled “Larloch” (also widely referred to simply as “The Lich”), painted in 1993 by the master of epic tabletop RPG art Jeff Easley. Rendered using a traditional oil on illustration board technique, the composition utilizes a dark and menacing sword-and-sorcery motif: an ancient, skeletal arch-lich draped in a heavy fur-lined robe sits deeply entrenched upon an ornate stone throne. The undead sorcerer extends a skeletal hand over the throne's armrest, illuminated by the flickering, atmospheric glow of two massive sconced wall torches that cast long shadows across the uneven rock walls of his subterranean vault. The origin of this specific piece stems from a prominent commission by TSR, Inc., where it served as a defining piece of interior and promotional artwork across several Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (AD&D) core products. The compelling backstory of the painting centers on its identity within D&D's most famous campaign setting; it provides one of the definitive visual character references for Larloch the Shadow King, an ancient Netherese arcanist and the legendary master of Warlock's Crypt, cementing the image as one of the most recognizable and highly prized depictions of undead wizardry from the 1990s fantasy boom.
