The return of the lazy artists club! SO this is my first painting in about a year or so. Mucho errors and stuff but it was good to shake the cobwebs off. I should be posting one a week so expect improvement. This is of a character in my story that my younger brothers and I are developing.
A hero of the illustration world past yesterday, Frank Frazetta, at 82. He inspired countless illustrators with his movie posters, sci fi fantasy worlds of strong sexy women, heroic barbarian men, and crazy animals and creatures. Most notably for his book covers of Conan and Tarzan. He was one the first “rockstar” illustrators (along w/ Bernie* Fuchs and Norman Rockwell) us young illustrators looked up to, copied, and admired. Rest in peace, homie.
From his family: (via Peter de Seve’s blog)
Frank Frazetta, one of the most renowned fantasy illustrators of the 20th century whose stunning and energetic images influenced a generation, died this afternoon at a hospital near his home in Boca Grande, Florida. He was 82.
The cause of death was a stroke.
*thanks Phil on the correction
My roomie/fellow artist/good homie, Phil M is a fantastic artist and is back on the blog tip again. Hop on over and check out his art.
CHEEKS! aka Sean Galloway is one of my favorite character designers/comic book artists in the game. Super clean, stylized and fun. He has a cool coloring style that matches cartoons and makes you believe you are looking at animation cells. His work can be seen on the new Spider-Man cartoon and his new book, Spread the cheeks!
