What a pity, he was one of my favourite artists, who influenced me a lot back in the day.
A great loss.

A great loss!!! I believe he was one of the most important artists of the 20th century, and certainly the most important in fantasy gengre
RIP

Sorry, did you find something wrong with that sentiment? :?

Byron, I think Idomeneas just echoed your sentiment, nothing else.

i just meant what you did mate.. And indeed it is a great loss. I spend hours and hours studying, admiring and trying to copy his works. I remember still the owe when i first rent Fire and Ice in VHS or the Conan illustrations displayed as posters in the comic mag. So nothing wrong with the sentiment, dont fire up over nothing :wink:

No problems, just tired I guess. I thought maybe you thought it was an under statement....
