A pretty legendary fantasy artist died. We probably have him to thank for EA Ulm, and maybe more. This guy WAS the fantasy artist.

Ahh, rest in peace Frank. I still have your "Death Dealer" poster on my old D&D folder. Truly, one of the great ones.

And there it is. The Death Dealer, in all it's glory. thanks DonC.

Could anything more exemplify a Demon Knight commander? (heh, I know there is no such being. but if there were one).

I would have thought Niefel Jarl actually. Polar bears are enormous, and if the human figure is to scale (and considering that he is further back than the lead polar bears) then he is definitely giant sized.

This is the picture he I think he was talking about. Death Dealer. Its a slightly scaled down version, but you can find a larger one if you just google "Death Dealer"

It would make an EXCELLENT demon knight commander if you used gift of reason on it

RIP Franck. I've been borrowing your fantastic pictures for my avatars for so long, it's the very first time I feel sad looking at it :(

Oh I didn't realize this is the guy that did the Death Dealer picture. It was one of my favorites growing up.
