I have to say a lot of my inspiration comes from British artists, 
especially in the old Fighting Fantasy books (which were much easier to 
get than DnD when I was a kid). Some of that art has that specific 
British fantasy grittiness that for some reason went away after the 
early 90s and only resurfaced a bit when the OSR came around. Russ 
Nicholson especially, and he previously did work on White Dwarf and the 
Fiend Folio.
