Death Dealer

Wanted to pay my respects to the passing of one of the undisputed artistic powerhouses of our time, Frank Frazetta. A massive influence on myself + most comicbook artists I know, the man was a legend.
My favourite pieces of his were the Death Dealer series, especially the one depicting DD on his steed.

    Thus acquiring three weeks worth of posts from a single drawing? Would I pull such a cheap stunt?
    You bet I would.

    Brilliant stuff, Mooney. Reminds me of one the characters from that board game Hero Quest I had when I was small.

    Quit calling me that Franner you bastard. Glad you like the pic.

    Liam; had the same game myself, along with the companion Space Crusade.
    Loved 'em both. It was like dipping your toes into hardcore nerd-dom without having to fully commit.
    The withdrawal method, if you like.

    You know when your Google ID is 'Moondog' you're kind of undermining your case for not being called 'Moondog'.
