cstojano Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 It's really something watch the media spin on pop culture stuff like this isn't it? ThothAmon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBerman Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 I really like the colors on this one. Some Frazetta (even the famed Egyptian Queen) have incredible anatomy and composition but come across as pale. This one has that bright flash of crimson cape, and the main figures (skeleton, tentacle, or human) are readily discernible. If Halperin gets tired of it, he can look me up! mrlatko and TupennyConan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree: Egyptian Queen is great, but scale and composition-wise, not to mention the subject matter in relation to Frazetta's work: this is the superior piece of the two.
