@blastronimus It didn’t seem to rain too long, but it was those big, juicy raindrops. I saw one lightning flash followed by a roll of thunder when I was outside, but that was after the rain stopped.
@nellybobarino@PeterKalla1@krassenstein@grok I believe it was the “great daughter” comment coupled with the “my honor”. It was a weird thing to say either way, I’m sure you can agree.
Frank Frazetta on his Lord of the Rings ‘Éowyn vs. the Nazgûl Lord’ illustration:
“It’s one of my favorites. I got the weight and the forward movement at just the right moment. Perfect balance, perfect motion. That really turned out well. No effort. I remember being excited to see how it would turn out. It just flowed onto the paper like I wasn’t even holding the brush. I guess I was in a zone of some sort. That happens when I really get excited about an image.” — Frank Frazetta, in conversation with Doc Dave Winiewicz, c.1990s
Frank rarely talked about technique in a formal way. He usually spoke in terms of feeling. Here, he’s not describing anatomy, composition, or brushwork. He’s talking about momentum, excitement, and that elusive state artists spend their entire lives chasing…the moment when an image seems to create itself.
