Saul Alvarez painted an ARH Barbarian. Not mine but you can see pics here if you are on FB

If anyone else has time to do it you can grab pics and post them. Saul said it was fine.

I used to be FB friends with Heidi and we spoke a little bit via messenger but then she left FB and I couldn't ask her. Sara recommended that I talk to Dannielle who is Bill's daughter and I guess I showed some of the stuff she was selling in earlier posts. Anyway I ended up buying the attached piece. I spoke to her about other options which I will discuss in another post but I am really happy with what I bought.

Pros:
1. Ink, better than pencil
2. Good combo of Frazetta stuff, animal (lion) savage Bran Mak Morn, guys in armor, and action poses
3. Obviously Frazetta work style I like
4. Large piece (8.5x11)
6. Comes with COA from Bill confirming authenticity
7. Came directly from the masters hand and it is mine
8. I could afford it

Cons:
1. Not signed
2. Very rough work, early sketches without much refinement
3. No example of Frazetta signature style woman
4. Not related to any specific known work
5. Still as expensive as hell
Congratulations, awesome piece!!!

Thanks Warhead, I knew someone could do it. As everyone knows I love Saul's work and of the pro-painted stuff I have more is painted by Saul than anyone else but one of the reasons I didn't have him paint my Barbarian is because I have seen a few CS Moore Barbarians painted by Saul and he tends to paint the Barbarian too light skinned compared to the painting for my liking. But it is amazing work for sure.

Thanks for all the Frazetta info and pics.
Happy you got a real Frazetta!

Yeah you're right that Barbarian looks like he just stepped out after winter.

RE skin tone I actually like a WIP pic I got before I got my final Barbarian (although I love the final too) from Hanna

Thanks much appreciated!

I was talking to Ken Kelly today to check the status on an Elric Sketch he is doing for me and I found something I never knew. Did you guys know he used his wife as the model for all the female figures on the Kiss "Love Gun" album cover? Somebody told me that recently so I asked him and he said it was true.
