Edsel Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Re: Daily Art Findings I find it facinating how people will identify a person with their avatar, especially if the avatar is a human-looking picture. For instance, I was amazed to meet Teflon Billy at Gencon and discover he isn't monochrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithcurtis Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Re: Daily Art Findings Back in the Day (Late Seventies, in this case), the two main heroic fantasy artists we had to compare were Frank Frazetta and Boris Vallejo. There were others, of course, but these were the only two with general public presence. I had to hold myself back from killing anyone who preferred Boris over Frazetta. From an artistic standpoint, composition, tone, color, mood, design, there's no comparison. Boris executed his paintings in sharper detail. That's it.

Keith "Don't be dissin' Frank" Curtis I think the difference is that Vallejo has excellent technique and puts a high-gloss on his finished work; whereas Frazetta's work has a dynamism - a punch factor - that Vellejo's doesn't. Frazetta was the master, and probably still is. Few can do what he did as well as he did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few can do what he did as well as he did it.[/quote'] Vallejo does some amazing things with color and blending of color, as well as achieving certain effects (water, smoke, and so on). He also has excellent understanding of anatomy. Frazetta, as you say, was far more dynamic a painter with a "rougher" and more exaggerated look to his art. Boris's paintings always look posed (mostly because they are), while Frazetta's have life to them. Then there's Michael Whelan.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
