Several suggestions I wanted to field here, first two are from Conan the Cimmerian, the third from Berserk, and fourth from Black Moon Chronicles.

1.4 seems to get the totality of the trope across better, so that's my pick for now.

Kinda like all of them, for various reasons. I'd give the second one a very slight edge, perhaps.

1.4 for me.

I like 6.1. I know "obvious sorcery" is not absolutely crucial, but it's nice. Many other elements of the style described by the article are also evident.

6.1 gets my vote

6.1 could work.

6.1 and 1.4 are the clearest for me.

Unless anyone has some other suggestions in mind, sure.

Mmmmm, the topless priestess-babe on 6.5 probably means we shouldn't consider that one...

[up] While she actually has a might-as-well-be-painted-on bikini-type top (I had to bring the laptop almost to my face to see the string), it's indeed close enough that it should probably be relegated to Image Links. I actually didn't even notice her when I was looking at the pic originally.

Gonna say, if it's that hard to notice, I don't think it qualifies as NSFW.

On the other hand, it's not one of the better images anyway, so moot point I suppose.

She's much more noticeable if we crop off all the lettering on the cover which I assumed would be done for the page image.

Calling this one. A crop of the winner is up and tagged, and the others are on the Image Links page. Caption?
