Alex Grey is incredible, his work will be admired for centuries to come.

IMO he is worthy to be included with the masters already listed on this thread.

How could I have forgotten Frazetta?

Working from imagination rather than models, his work tends to be much more "alive" than Ross' or Royo's.

Plus, Frazetta's women are legendary.

Ross' women all have the quality of being your sister; they manage to be attractive without any sexiness at all...

I'm quite diverse when it comes to painters. No particular favorites, but I'm quite fond of David Delamare.
