Frank Frazetta - Art (Unfinished)

Frank Frazetta 






I wanted to look at some artists to help me create the theme and look for a view key elements in my
fantasy Temple, the one that stood out for me was work created by Frank Frazetta. Obviously i can't
replicate his work due to my lack of any actual drawing skills but i wanted to look at his way of
portraying people and creatures and how he manages to make them look the way they do. 
I believe this poster was created by Frank Frazetta for the TV series Battlestar Galactica. Whilst the
show is not really related to my work i just like the overall design of the poster, the figure in the
background looks mysterious and otherworldly when you compare it to the characters in the front. I
like how the cape covers any other details about the character apart from the face that looks uncaring
and dangerous, this blend of hiding a character whilst showing something else about them is always
cool to try and implement into a personal design. The temple guards are supposed to be an unknown
force that protects and serves the God of Dreams. The use of a cloak on these creatures will make
people question what they actually are when they see them. The colour scheme looks interesting, it
uses very bright colours but they have been muted down to not overpower anything else in the scene.


Another one of his works is a painting of the ‘Death Dealer’. In Terms of the mystical look that I talked
about in the previous example, there isn't a huge focus on the mystical element as we can identify
what everything in the scene is apart from the character's face. But the picture does make you
wonder what the story behind it all is, this is something i want to try and use for my temple
environment as it will hopefully look like a temple and can be identified as that but with some
unknown elements that make people wonder. The most important element of the picture is probably
the eyes of the character, everything else is blended and toned down due to Frank’s style of
painting. The eyes are bright and stand out because of this, because the character is looking directly
at the viewer and we can't identify a face. It adds an aggressive element to the picture without
showing any real violence.
