Poll Suggestion: Frank Frazetta — Godfather of Fantasy Art

@Breumaster​ 

>You got 37 options.

this is my personal list, I will only remove some options if it ever gets a chance to go live. I do love those movie posters.

> His best isn't on the list: The Best! 

Amazing. As a teenager I would look for hours at similar covers of rock/heavy metal vinyl LP records. At thrift stores/second hand.

Just so you know, this suggestion was reviewed and most of these posters were considered too inappropriate, so the polls will not be published. But you're welcome to keep the lists and threads for discussion of course. 

@Jessica​ Thanks for the heads-up;

from the original list with 60 posters

I removed the most risque images and I made a new list with more appropriate ones

I hope this helps promote the concept...

I simply do not understand the idea about. Many of these movies were made long after Frazetta passed. I guess the covers of these movies are not of him. Maybe you can explain a little.

Frank Frazetta’s paintings are basically about raw, amped-up fantasy — huge warriors, fierce women, monsters built like tanks, and worlds where everything feels larger than life.

In short:

• Heroic fantasy: barbarians, Conan-type figures, swords, battles.

• Mythic beasts: dragons, demons, creatures that look ready to tear something apart.

• Bold sensuality: powerful, striking female figures.

• Pure action: every scene feels like it’s mid-explosion.

His art screams, “fantasy, but cranked to eleven.”

those images are very similar to the ones he painted, perhaps even inspired by one of his paintings
