Also
Sorak the elfing,some Minotaur,some monster,Agis of Asticles,some gladiator,Belgoi,Rikus,some gladiator,Neeva,some elf, don't know

I might be wrong in some cases since these are just off the top of my head

Not D&D (IIRC), Elric of Melnibone (not quite as good as the iconic Frank Brunner illustration(s), but pretty good nonetheless).

AD&D Campaign Settings:

To be precise

Takhisis in human form,don't know,don't know again, Alias

Second don't know is from the cover of Ruins of Myth Drannor or Pools of Darkness, IIRC.

They reuse a lot of book covers for the games. The Hulderfolk king and queen in Dark Queen of Krynn GB game is actually Tristan and Robin Kendrick from the cover of one of the Moonshae novels.

Second don't know is from the cover of Ruins of Myth Drannor or Pools of Darkness, IIRC.

This artwork by Clyde Caldwell appeared on both the box cover for SSI's Pool of Radiance and on the cover of the accompanying AD&D adventure module FRC1 Ruins of Adventure, but it originated as a book cover for Endless Quest #33 Knight of Illusion.
