Is this a BotNS illustration?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Nah. He did Elric, too, but Elric was usually clearly identified as Elric. 
(Actually he's apparently the official Michael Moorcock illustrator in 
Japan - I've done some research ;-))

Here's some of his Elric stuff:

I can't really see Severian in the 'Claw of the Conciliator' pic, either, 
and I can't think of anyone it *could* be - but neither do I see why Amano 
would title that pic thus if it wasn't intended as some form of Wolfe 
illustration.

Actually, what throws me most is the apparently white/grey/silver hair.

Of course, there is the possibility that the website may have attributed 
the wrong title to the pic, quite simply.
