As a supplement to the discussion I'd like to post the kind of imagery that I'd be happy to see the likes of in high fantasy games.
No particular order, will likely be character/creature-centric. Not saying that any of them are really exceptional or are here to sell a new concept that will blow cynical codexian cerebrums, but I feel they keep in line with the otherworldly feel of high fantasy without resorting to the usual styles of artwork you find in book covers from the 80s and early 90s (y'know, dwarf, elf, knight, tits, dragon)
and that these are the slightly different directions that games need to go with instead of ham handed yet painfully generic DA style nonsense.
