Help me identify this fantasy/gaming artist?

This image is an AI upscale of a texture used in a game called Thief: The Darkness Project (1998). I'm trying to identify the original artist. Wikipedia identifies the game's artist as Mark Lizotte, also the name of a well-known musician, which makes search muddy. Note: contains scantily-clad people, but no outright nudity. Gives me Vallejo and Bell vibes, but not quite. Any thoughts greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Google Lens showed me this forum. Dig around there to find the artist.

Best answer: this page identifies the ripoff8 asset as: "a Mark Lizotte original painting (apx 2'x3') that used to hang in the LGS offices." Not entirely obvious where that info comes from.

(LGS = Looking Glass Studios; also, you have the game name slightly wrong: "Thief: the Dark project".)

Mobygames also lists a number of other artists credited on this title.

Oh, I missed it because it doesn't explicitly mention the file name; the source for that is this forum comment from someone who seems to have worked for LGS (after some googling I believe that username corresponds to this person).
