That's one of the things that I really like about Frazetta paintings, how he distills an image down to it's viceral elements (one way of putting it I guess). He could paint a necklace of bones swinging around a warriors neck without  actually painting any connective details and it would just look perfect, it probably wouldn't have looked as dynamic any other way.

Frazetta painted in a very small scale on, IIRC, the reverse side of unsanded masonite panals. Hence the tactile quality of the grain showing in his imagery and his excellent utilization of dry brush techniques.

That's pretty darned near to getting the look of frazetta's brush-work, Paul. the axe in particular.

Wonder if there are any Richard Corben fans using poser? Would seem like a perfect match.
