/art/ - Drawing, Photography, Painting★

If I have to put it into words then I'd say his art has a very masculine energy to it. I'm not just talking about his pulp style artwork, even when it's just a simple portrait of himself, you can kind of sense that Chad energy. He also was never afraid of drawing unrealistically sexy women.

I think he was very well fitted within his time and place. Back in the 80's people were getting into heavy metal and D&D and his art work really carries a lot of those elements strongly, i.e. the dark and heavy shadowing plus the gore and fanatical imagery. Of course his high quality and attention to detail is a major plus. Whenever I see his work I'm immediately reminded of the movie Fire & Ice which I enjoyed a lot as a kid.

Heck yeah

Frank was better at composition. There have been a few people with some better technique since Frank in his commercial bubble but a lot of them failed to compose their work well.

Not only that, but it's raw and has a realism to it at the same time as it has the fantastic elements turned up to 11. Compare his art to Boris Vallejo's and Julie Bell's, who do work in a similar vein yet nowhere near as well. Their barbarians just look like what they were: bodybuilders being used as models. Artists like them can be enjoyable, but their work has nowhere near the sense of verisimilitude that Frazetta's has.

Adding to that, I think it has a very raw and primal sense to it, which resonates with men in a certain way, maybe more so than women, I dunno. It makes us feel.
