Artist's Comments

Original Size: 10" x 15", Medium: Acrylics

This piece is a homage to art that I enjoyed years back (and still enjoy today...!). As a kid, I used to love reading my brother's "Creepy", "Errie" & "Famous Monsters" Magazines of the 70's. Often, they had this type of scenario on their covers.

The executioner guy is not trying to harm the lady. Rather, he is her protector as she wanders away from her castle to "get away from it all" & relax a bit. Being a Queen is hard work, you know!

Exactly what I had in mind! I'm glad someone caught it! I sat back one day and did this with those styles in mind. Still love their art, though I've tried to do things my own way.
:iconpaladinorc:
agreed :)

frazetta was the first thing that came to mind next to. 'man that guy looks hardcore'.

I like the way the guys shoulder darken to the mask but it doesnt look like hes wearing one.....

Beautiful indeed, pure fantasy. The female figure is excellent.
:iconsufistuk8ed:
Beautiful work as always!!! Though I'm not so sure how easily she'd be able to get around in those heels! :XD:

Frank was, and still is the man! I love the rawness in his pieces. Had'ta say Thank U somehow!
:iconricardofantasyart:
P.S. You know...even I'm not sure if he's wearing a mask!!! I did it that way for the shadow effect. I guess he's wearin' a mask...On second thought, may he isn't...no, wait, he is...whatever!
:iconricardofantasyart:
Much appreciation. This was my way of honoring Frazetta and the other Masters of Fantasy back in the day. I still love the intensity and style he demonstrated and I had to get it outta my system somehow!
:iconricardofantasyart:
Thank you so much! You're right on the spot about the heels! I just added them for a sexier look. But they are not practical at all!!!
:iconmadamkistulot:
To me it just looks like a helm, buuut... It is still lovely! Very much! The detail on both of them and the enviroment is mesmerizing :)
