Thanks for the link Immortal One.  I'm a big fan of fantasy art. Even went on a pilgrimage to the Frazetta Museum once.

But the link allowed me to get a few images missing from my digital collection. These two By Jeff Easley.

Brom has been consistantly painting well muscled women. Kind of dark but the first two have to be one of the deadliest women in fantasy.

I used to love Boris Vallejo's work but found while he does great 'phoyographic' figures his composition isn't as great as the master Frazetta's.
Guess who these women are?

Finally two Frazetta's. I believe his wife modeled for the second.

You do not realize what we have here.
In our very hands we have the cosmic force of creation itself. In our very hands.
We can reshape life. Take it apart. Put it together again. Mold it like putty.

Wow!  Thanks for the link and the choice morsels from the site, guys.

I remember this Easley pic in particular from my childhood as particularly arousing:

The woman had muscularity and showed evidence of superhuman strength in how she's sliced the ogre's club, plus it also seemed as if she might be about to lift the entire ogre off the ground by his nose ring with one arm... God, my heart rate's tripled just remembering what an effect this pic had on me as a kid...

Boris's art was also (of course) very close to my heart.  Thanks for the memories, guys!

      yep, I am also quite fond of this one :-) I remember seeing it in a fantasy mag called Dragon

As for Vallejo and Brom, I have some Portfolios of them. I prefer the darker drawings of Brom... I discovered him with his illustrations for the RPG Dark Sun.

I also like Frazetta (his famous Conan pic), Easley a lot but I would add Elmore to the list :wink:

This has been, and always will be, one of my all-time favourite pictures. I've loved this one since I was... 12 or something.

Elmore was definitely my favourite artist of the era overall, and drew some beautiful and gorgeous women and fantastic men, dragons, backgrounds etc... any kid growing up with D&D in that era can't have helped love the vast amounts of art he did for it.  He just never did any muscular women, which was very sad.  I loved Snarfquest too - he didn't mind having a strong female fighter in it who kicked butt, but didn't make her muscular really... (although she was still very sexy!)
