I'm a bit of a medieval nerd and always love to see heraldic art, both historic and modern. This coat of arms by Dawn Lynch is just gorgeous, with so much detail in there and beautifully rendered 🗡️

I really love this wonderfully atmospheric and gothic Beauty and the Beast artwork by Phil Gormley. Phil's inspiration came from the 1946 film, La Belle et la Bête and the 1978 Panna a Netvor (with a little of 1985's Legend thrown in for good measure).
A dark gothic illustration depicting Beauty and the Beast. A girl with blond hair and wearing a white dress is holding a candlestick. The beast stands behind a table holding a dead deer. There is an open fire and the moon shines through a window in the background.
