Friday Frazetta


After a short break due to Ymir pounding us with 42"of snow last week, Friday Frazetta is back with a very nice piece indeed! While known predominantly for his pulp horror and sci-fi work, there are also a few "epic fantasy" Tolkien pieces by Frazetta out there that I really like, especially this one. Unlike many depictions of Ringwraiths, and despite the usual missing face and glowing lights for eyes, this Wraith is manifesting a very solid presence in the real world (note the solid hands and arms raising the morning-star to strike), giving this depiction an added element of menace. And both characters have very cool helmets! :)

  1. This has to be my favorite Franzetta. It's been sitting on my hard-drive, waiting for an opportunity to be posted. Opportunity lost!

    :D

  4. Being a vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, but how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Richvampirekindom@gmail.com
