Description
This is a tribute to Frank Frazetta in 3D. Not exactly like his image but it has enough elements that it is recognizable: http://www.aumania.it/fa/frazetta/050.jpg
Over at www.dreamslayerartworks, they are having monthly tribute contests to fantasy artists and this month's is Frank Frazetta; my all time favorite fantasy artist. Got the itch to do one? Go for it. Here's what Armorbeast says:
Reflections of...Frank Frazetta~This month,we honor one of the legends of modern art and hope you will take time to show your respect to a man who helped shape the aspirations of countless modern artists to follow in his footsteps.

Thanks for looking ;)

Nice tribute. Neanderthals, likely an Ice Age adaptation, with some evidence of miscegenation, had, as few seem any longer to know, considerably larger brains than modern or Cro-Magnon man...

This is Very recognizable as Frazetta inspired. I'm a big fan of his too. I used to get a couple of Frazetta calendars every year and have a 'coffee table' book of his work. He was the perfect illustrator for one of my favorite genre of books - fantasy/adventure. Superb job here, Nancy! Gotta love the color and overall look; Very Frazetta-esque!

I am not familiar with the man but I will go and check out his work. your work takes no slack from anyone. always outstanding graphics

I'm not familiar with the illustrator but your render inspires me to learn about him. While I love the expressions and the overall graphic, what I really like the most are the clubs. For some reason I get the impression those clubs and in their different positions took as much time to do and the neanderthals. Very intricate work.

What an atmosphere...Extraordinary work!

Scary guys... excellent work :)

I should add that I was trying to recreate one of his works in 3D called Neanderthal. The poses are Frank's, recreated in 3D as best I could. I hope that what I've created here is not a copyright infringement of any kind. I sure had fun making this one.

OMG this is just marvelous. I'm a big Frazetta fan and this is as close to his work as you're going to get without being him.

Not familiar with Frazetta, but if he knew that his work inspired this he'd be quite pleased, I'm sure. Bravo!

Phew! When I saw the title I thought you had done an image of me. 8-) Well, you're a few neanderthals short but the image has a great lighting and atmosphere. The characters are ugly enough to be neanderthals. Great poses. Your work is very different from wht Frazetta did but that's inspiration. Good luck in the contest.
MicahBlade
Great work Nancy I can see the Frazetta inspiration. I have aways been a fans of his. But what catches my eye is your background. You always make such great backgrounds. Awesome work. warm smile*

They look quite formidable. I'd be forced to shoot them if I met up with 'em in a dark alley. Very nice image. These guys actually lived a most miserable existance. They endured the unimaginable.

It's a tribute, and you said as much, therefore not an infingement. Anyway, excellent. The posing is right on. Even the ground they tread on has a Frazetta look and feel to it. Bravo!
frogdot
