As most any comics-interested folks know, legendary cartoonist/painter/illustrator Frank Frazetta died a few weeks back. I’ve been pretty busy of late (Heroes Con, packing for vacation, vacation, Count of Monte Cristo proposal, etc.) but when I heard the news I was inspired to have a go at a “tribute” drawing of a Frazetta painting. One of my favorites has always been his painting from 1967, The Sea Witch. While it’s not as in-your-face battle axe-ey awesome as his most famous painting, Death Dealer, it’s my favorite Frazetta painting for a number of reasons, mainly the color and composition. I’ll probably comment more on how (and why) Frazetta’s piece is so awesome–and why my “tribute” is totally lame–when I’ve got the thing finished, but here’s the pencils as they now stand.

I actually really dig your version of this! I love when water is drawn all flowy and powerful–It’s beautiful!! And that lizzard’s expression is RAD!

@Anii – Thanks! (And thanks for commenting. That reminded me that I really need to get back on this and color it. I finished inking it a few days ago, but haven’t touched it since then.)
