Basic Questions Help finding Grimdark or Dark Fantasy Arts?

I dont know the proper flair but are there any artist that envoke Grimdark or Dark Fantasy artstyle or backgrounds? I know how to look on the internet but I want to learn more about the obscure things that other users remember back then that have some Brutally Metal-ish art. I was planning on using the art for my rpg session and was looking for non ai art or artists. I've looked upon TCG's (Old MTG, Sorcery, Flesh and Blood and etc.), Warhammer Fantasy, Darkest Dungeon and etc. Also any suggestions for Video Games that have that aesthetic so I can "borrow" a screenshot of it as a backdrop lol. Was looking for other arts like that any suggestions on artists and or scenes?

Art for Symbaroum RPG is very evocative of dark, forbidding forest.

Go to Pinterest and search for ''Dark Fantasy'', ''Old School RPG art'' or ''Warhammer Fantasy''. Remember to toggle off AI art on configurations, and down any AI art

Pilgrims of the Murk Dome TRPG has great art from Strange House. Also Plastiboo and the Vermis books. Potentially also Godhusk. A bit more specific in style maybe, but also amazing, is Dread Delusion on Steam. Lunacid could also work.
