Wow, Wizards really needs to better vet artists or indeed artwork at this point.

If you flip the art it becomes even more apparent. You can see the background follows a similar composition as well. Not sure if it would hold up in court as a one-off (assuming this is the only case of plagiarism), but certainly enough for WotC to drop the artist

Wow, I didn't catch the background.

Now I'm wondering if the other figure is lifted from somewhere too?

It's stolen from an old pulp magazine. The whole image is just a collage of stolen art ๐Ÿ˜‚

Yup, I think only the axes and maybe the elf woman's arm are yet to be found at this point.
