There’s been plenty of discussion lately. Now let’s just view things. I promise you won’t be disappointed in this post.
Frank Frazetta was an American fantasy and science fiction artist who painted awesome pieces. Frazetta’s interpretation of Conan launched his career and subsequently changed how artists portrayed fantasy/sci-fi forever. Here is a good piece I found on Frazetta’s ability. Both Rippetoe and Kilgore are big fans of Frazetta, and I first saw my favorite piece of Frazetta’s hanging up in Rip’s house:

Sharpwriter is an American deviant artist that I just found recently (thanks to Justin’s*** link). When you look at his pictures, make sure and click them to increase the size because has incredible detail. He seems to enjoy combining different concepts into one image (like a cyborg viking) as well as doing his rendition of popular characters (like The Joker, Bepop, and Rocksteady). I more so want to point out these patriotic pieces:
Abe Lincoln on a grizzly bear. With an M16. And the fucking Emancipation Proclamation.
George Washington hunting zombies
There are some other presidential images here, including this one of FDR that made me laugh. You can view more of Sharpwriter’s images at his gallery; there are some really good ones, including this one titled “Welcome to Valhalla“.
Lastly, if you’ve ever been irritated with me, then should enjoy this video of Tom and I getting mauled by trained attack dogs.
Which picture is your favorite? I think Frazetta’s images are much more 70’s Big than Sharpwriter’s (I think Dr. Kilgore told me Frazetta studied anatomy so that he’d improve on his ability to paint musculature), but Sharpwriter’s detail is amazing. What other fantasy/sci-fi artists compare to these guys?
