Frazetta tribute pt. 3

And here are the last two images. The bottom one is the near-final work in progress, and the top image is the final as it was presented on the forum at cghub. I definitely learned some things over the course of painting this, one being just how elusive Frazetta's style really was. I was not directly trying to work in his style, but I was trying to remain as true to it as I could. I'll let others be the judge on how successful I was or wasn't in the attempt. Hope you enjoy these images! :D

Frazetta tribute pt. 2

Here are two of the work in progress images. I've made some minor changes to the original sketch, and started painting. I have to admit, it has been a while since I painted and I struggled a little getting started on this. I looked to a few different Frazetta paintings for the palette here. I used the images BranMakMorn and The Destroyer as the two most direct influences for this. I hope that becomes more obvious on the final. :D This has really been a fun challenge for me.

Frazetta tribute

Frank Frazetta passed away on May 10th, and cghub has a couple tribute threads going. Considering Frazetta is one of my all time favorite artists and a huge inspiration to me, I decided to join in on the one focused on a Conan book cover. This is the layout sketch I decided to go with on my final painted image. I'll post some of the works in progress and the final here shortly.
