Frazetta had a habit of revising paintings. Originally a cover for National Lampoon. The girl was clothed and the man wore a pith helmut.
CyborgScribe
He seemed to like his women thicc
PianoMan2112
That’s a lot of nude women in peril.
mormacil
A lot of nude women, quite a few are not in peril in his work but most wear very little :P

He must have loved the Princess of Mars stuff. Bary any clothes in that.

I prefer frazetta.

Where do you think Boris got all his chops from?

Up until a minute ago, I never thought about Vallejo's chops.

That's some high resolution Frazetta art, thanks!

Was #6 part of a book cover art? What book?

I love his art because there's this celebration of the human form, not just with muscles and boobs but in love handles and folds in movement
LiquidFire3
bantambasher135
I think I just realized why I have the type I do: all those Burroughs novels I read as a kid.
SlamCampbell
Are you hugely muscular?
wintercoat
If there's one thing Frank Frazetta loves, it's the human form. His art revels in it, male and female both.
Imhereforthelurking
There was dynamism ( had to check that was a word.yay!) In all of them. It's what made the Conan books so eye catching. The staid poses, or-
Imhereforthelurking
or visuals never given in other books, never had the same pulling power as a lot of the Conan books, that depicted some scene ripped from-
Imhereforthelurking
The pages and made visceral and breathing and powerful.
BatsAreAwesome
Though. Tbh. All the men are shredded, not a lot of love handles on those guys.
LeSethX
Not just the men, the women have very toned leg muscles. Esp #2
FussyZeus
I think though that's more to illustrate that the women are nobility. The men are shredded because they're out slaying dragons n shit.

My Art professor asked me to do a report on a contemporary artist. I chose Frank Frazetta. She got angry and said he was an illustrator...
Elonth
sounds like she was looking for a way to give you an F because "mah feminism!"
shiftTieTraveler
Nah Vagehna!
OverpricedCrayon
Youre not going to like this but in art school he is called an Illustrator. Why you couldn't write a paper on him though doesnt make sense
WillJeSuis
GuardsmanMiku
you had a shit art teacher. At GCSE I convinced my teacher that i could do a artist essay on a guy that edits KSP screenshots on the forum
RandAIFlagg
please tell me you used Adobe Illustrator in class
cottonballs00
More for graphic design.
Shendorion
So were the Renaissance masters. They did illustration work on commission from the Church all the damned time.
Shendorion
He's also influenced the percepts and aesthetics of a larger swath of western culture than a lot of current gallery artists.

I went to college by his costume shop, met the man, incredibly down to earth guy. Saw the fucking amazing bar in his apt upstairs! 1/2
hiredhobbs
Was sad that 2 months later he moved and gave the business to the kids. I wish iwas sober enough at the timeto remember his personal stories
CashWiley
As a newish art student (2 years in), I consider the term 'illustrator' to be a compliment, like 'craftsman'. 1/2
CashWiley
Illustration is a big part of how classical education survived the Dark Age of Modernism. 2/2
cottonballs00
Frazetta was the pioneer of the thick 80's girl. Love that they have bellies that look like they could have organs. Art history right there.
TxGoatWhisperer
Reading his Conan work, as a kid, set the tone for what I consider the ideal female shape. The Maxx' Julie was a great homage to Frank.
cottonballs00
It's crazy that I know exactly what you mean. The Leopard Queen!
TxGoatWhisperer
If you were a '90s kid, that kept the TV tuned to MTV 24/7, you know! Liquid Television, Aeon Flux, The Maxx... Good times
CommanderCaribou
I would have apologized and drawn the most detailed art degree I could with her name on it and changed artist to illustrator
Tkeleth
too fukken savage. damn boi
Bizzledizzle007
What an idiot. He has probably had as much influence as a Warhol, Koons, or a Haring on pop culture.
FacemanPeck
Yeah his stuff is painted on the side of way more vans than theirs
Bizzledizzle007
CyborgScribe
I think Warhol is a stretch as a comparison
Bizzledizzle007
I disagree. Frazetta was painting in the 40/50's think about all of the archetypes he created to inspire modern day heroes and style.
Bizzledizzle007
I also wasnt trying to undermine andy, but simply empathise the immense presence and influence that this "fantasty illustrator" had.
ZZhillTopper
The teacher is mad because he made a practical living with his art degree without teaching.
ZZhillTopper
*No hate on more traditional artists, but there is a lot you can do with your degree.
aPokal
Honestly. Comics have more influence than they. Disney is almost a culture of its own. Not to mention anime.
aPokal
One might argue a loop. They get influence by current culture. Make their masterpieces. Which get studied and influence the next generation
aPokal
of pop culture makers. One can be a master, but unheard, unseen, might as much not have existed.

biggwhytey
#2 with that fanny pack belly... Mm!
Lolzorski
Agreed! Girls who want super flat bellies are missing the point!
Kimerik
I would dare to say that your professor showed narrow mindness and elitism.
DevilsArsehole
It's not art though, it's a cartoon.
IHateyouIfyouremoreattractivethanme
If crumpled up papers and paint thrown at a canvas are considered art then why can't this display of actual skill be?
fitlex
Shallowness and pedanticism
magneticgumby
An art professor who's narrow-minded and elitist? NEVER.
wasserhund
Remove “art” and I think that’s accurate
magneticgumby
I work at a college, exclusively with faculty, most aren't like that. The art profs though do have a higher % of it though.
Ravenuser
No. Because it would be "an professor", and that's wrong.
Macewindow54
Maybe in you’re a elitist and narrow minded English professor.
IronGravyBoat
Thanks for the chuckle friend.
IamNotAnAlien
just further evidence that art can’t be taught in an academic perspective. sure the fundamentals could be useful but human bias ruins it
cottonballs00
Just described my bachelor's of fine arts. I just wanna draw dragons dammit! Not smear my semen and blood on an orange!
Bizzledizzle007
My mom is an art professor and she just laughs at all the talentless fools spending high 6 figures for something that really can't be taught
Bizzledizzle007
Maybe 1% are or will be interesting artists. It's like paying to learn how to be a rockstar. You is or you ain't.
cardboardwhales
It’s like how you really can’t teach someone perspective. Principles are one thing but it really has to just click in the brain
adadsupreme
You can be taught history, and appreciation. All of those things lead to better execution of talent. And success isn’t easily defined.
GuardsmanMiku
art skills can certainly be taught, but famous artists arn't famous because they're simply the best, same as rockstars.
EatUrShorts
Your not wrong but in some areas i feel you can be thaught ive had friends who drew like shit improving alot in like 2-3 years , so i 1/?
Bizzledizzle007
Sure, but she teaches at a master level. Most will just end up in Museum administration or Starbucks.
EatUrShorts
Think you can learn technical objective stuff. But yeah if you're not very creative that will lead nowhere , i had a colleague with years 2/
KierTheKing
Is an illustrator not an artist?
RandAIFlagg
it's like rockstar to musician
ZachsAnomaiy
As an illustrator who has made art for 18 years, I'd say yes but I'm biased.
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
More than that. An illustrator is a professional artist who makes a living with their art. Not many self-proclaimed artists can say that.
InDubiousBattle
Well, no wonder they're bitter.
SparklDriver
celebratorygunfire
Yes. They are.
OverpricedCrayon
They are but their images are usually made for commercial products and contain some narrative in its visuals...(1)
OverpricedCrayon
There's a purpose to an illustrators image other than itself. It exists to tell a story or sell something. Frazetta included. It is art tho2
leodavinci1
Being familiar with many of the stories Frazetta's work was used for, I can say that very little of his work illustrated anything.
OverpricedCrayon
Look at the Molly Hatchet album cover. Doesn't really say anything about the music, but its selling it because it looks cool.
ZachsAnomaiy
I am classified as an illustrator because I do all promotional work and posters, covers and panel art for my own original comic book. It 1/2
ZachsAnomaiy
Can definitely blur the lines on illustration VS art, but I also think even if purely commercial, illustration is an art form as well. 2/2
OverpricedCrayon
I said illustrators are artist. But Illustration is not Fine Art. A sedan and a convertible are both cars, but they're also different.
magneticgumby
They are. Tends to be a bit of elitism by some fine artists that illustrators are not. My brother (an illustrator) deals with it often.
natabus
It's the same dynamic that puts Genre authors at the bottom of the author totem pole.
ITellPeopleWhatToPaint
I feel like illustrators often show a lot more talent and create much more compelling art than most "fine artists"
magneticgumby
I agree. I tend to enjoy more illustrator based stuff than fine art. Illuxcon is an awesome event to attend if your'e ever in PA in the fall
MechaNinja
So ... is it just because he painted pictures of people instead of ... weird splashes of paint or something?
Sheepyhead
I think it's because illustrators can actually get jobs
magneticgumby
Follow up: One thing I do know of, the fine artists will discredit the brother because he's primarily digital, as the field tends to be. 1/2
magneticgumby
2/2 Even had a fine artists prof once say to him (when he applied for a teaching job), "How do I know you can draw?". As if Photoshop 2/3
magneticgumby
No clue to be honest. I've met dickhead elitist illustrators as well at conventions with the brother. There's just always elitist dickheads.
MechaNinja
Well, you're not wrong about that!
