Collected in Rough Work: Concept Art, Doodles, and Sketchbook Drawings by Frank Frazetta (2007). This drawing appeared on the cover of Russ Cochran's Comic Art Auction #48 (1996) with a starting bid of $7,000. Apparently it didn't sell at that price, because it was listed on HA in 2002 as "from the collection of Russ Cochran," where once again it failed to sell.

The barbarian's ogreish muscles and slim waist are a jumble of scribbles and cross-hatching. His left hand tells a story. I really don't understand how Frazetta could convey such physical presence with so few lines. Sublime.

My version of the Ninja Turtles as Dark Age warriors. Cheers!

Some of the artwork produced by Steve Crisp as part of his work as an illustrator. Some of these required a fair bit of work by Steve to repair them later on(Crab, Blue Chariot and the two man fighting in the river).

Before digital art acrylic, oils(just at the end to add a little depth - took a while to dry - never mix or add the oil first) and airbrushes provided some of the fastest turn rounds for realistic depictions of fantasy settings, and Steve and his peers were mainstays of SFF publishing.

I'll need to color it in, maybe yellows and browns.

Cover of Dragon Magazine #110 (1986)

Back in 1983, Ralph Bakshi was working on his movíe Fire & Ice with Frank Frazetta. A young Thomas Kinkade (along with James Gurney) was hired to paint the backgrounds for the film, this was Thomas’s first commercial gig. kinkade would go on to paint the soft, idyllic, cottage scenes & develop a massive following in the Evangelical Christian world. Kincade had an amazing business sense & made billions (fleecing the rubes). However, his own golden hand cuffs drove him to an early alcoholic death in 2012. He had a hidden cache of personal work that was significantly darker & apocalyptic, elements that were repressed from the propagandistic world he built for his evangelical customers.

Handful of Draugr pieces done from 2014-2023(in order). Cheers!
