Frank Frazetta has died.

It is a sad day for Fantasy Artists everywhere.

EDIT: a bit of a tribute to his style:

[SiN.Daeus]

It is indeed.




On the lighter side, heres a metalhead -

Drawn by my faithful friend, Jew Boy. PS-Failure by me.

EDIT: Oh yeah, did I get the 'Der Jude' right? It's supposed to be 'The Jew'. I'm just trying (read: failing) to remember my Year 4 German classes...

[Siquo]

That is correct, although not politically correct (Negative connotations et cetera).

Frank Frazetta has died.

Aw, shucks. 

Also, can anyone recommend me a good cheap drawing tablet? I wanna try digital art. A big one would be nice.

So, what's the difference with a tablet? What'll I need to get used to?

[Deon]

To be honest, given Deon's idea of a woman's average womanliness, maybe I want to live where he is (inb4 in the basement).

Yeah I live in Russia.

Awesome goblin.
Russia, right? He lives in Russia. Russia is a manly country.

EDIT:

I'm pretty happy with this, but can someone help me out as to where the shadowing should actually be?

I got an A5 sized Wacom Bamboo Fun, and it's quite sufficient. It doesn't sense stylus tilting, but just pressure sensing will take you pretty far. The one up from that is Bamboo, without the "Fun" suffix, the one up from that is Intuos, and if you're sitting on an aluminum attache case full off cash and want to pretend you're a Starfleet officer or something, there is the Cintiq.

I would suggest not getting a huge one, unless you've been using oil paints up to now and have gotten used to having a huge canvas. Remember that image manipulation programs can zoom and pan, and you will only need as much tablet area as you are going to be working on at the same time. The small ones will also be more portable.

Thread on Frank Frazetta's death.

I was considering posting it here when I made it, but I figured there'd be too much thread cross-pollination.

Well, until Fault raged in the thread.

WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME THIS THREAD WAS HERE

[Fault]

you know I'd like never gone to the GENERAL DISCUSSION board before

were it not for my nomination at the MANLY CONTEST thread, I'd never have noticed your frazetta thread

[Vester]

Vester: First decide where you light source is. Is it the sun? A torch? Once you know where it is guestimate how the light is hitting the form. Another good way is the take a picture of someone in the same lighting that you want and then use it as a reference for where the shadows lay.

Thanks, I'll work on it.

[SiN.Daeus]

Hailing from the underground citadels of Lyre, Ironsprocket Cogsworth is ready to wage war for the Triumvirate.

Wielding a powerful maul, this agent of technology crushes his foes, and culls the weak. Aided by his devastating Steam Bolter, the Gnomish Technomancer lays waste to his enemies, blasting them, from limb to limb. Not even the skies are safe for his prey, as the twin Steamboosters ensure that every cliff, every ledge and every cloud is a hunting ground.

Death awaits those who dare oppose the Technomancer.

Whadya guys think?

[Julien Brightside]

I am not an art critic, but that is awesome on so many levels.

[SiN.Daeus]

For some reason, the anti-aliase dissapeared though...

[Jimmy]

Steampunk usually uses brass or bronze rather than steel for metal.

[SiN.Daeus]

Hmm... Good point. Except, I tried it and it didn't look too good...

[Hawkfrost]

Spoiler: Ten points to anyone who knows who this is. (click to show/hide)
