Beautiful fantasy landscape scene.
John Carter and Dejah Thoris. Dejah looks kind of arrogant and less feminine than I've always imagined her.
Looks like Conan but I'm not very familiar with his comic books storylines.
Why not?
Boris Valejo Gor cover art. When I was a kid, the Gor books and the Horseclans books both made up a huge section of the shelf at bookstores and the public library. Both have fallen away more recently; Gor, in fact, actively attacked for being too anti-SJW in its perspective. I do remember thinking that Tarnsman of Gor was a credible alt.Barsoom sword & planet story, and supposedly the series only got into its weird sexuality aspects in later books in a heavy enough way to be really uncomfortable.
This one is Players of Gor which is a very late appearing volume in the series.
I've always liked floating islands.
Another unusual fantasy landscape. With a zeppelin.
Crab people riding on a giant crab.
Dragon art.
Haradrim cavalry from long before the movies set "the look" in the minds of most people of what Middle-earth looks like.
I don't know what the story is with this weird bondage situation, but it is a very well-done piece of artwork even so. I actually think it's an older book cover, so it's professionally commissioned. This is from Poul Anderson's Virgin Planet, which I've never read, but I find that the summary reminds me a little too much of Piers Anthony's Chthon and Phthor, which are two of the worst books I've ever read, and which are barely disguised pornography pretending to be science fiction.
Some Frank Frazetta stuff that's a little more obscure than his Conan or Barsoom covers. Nice work.
