Watchdog bringin the old classics
Musu is a man of taste and me? I always appreciate it!
Frazetta doing LOTR :bury
That first piece is excellent as fuck holy shit
Because Frazetta.
I got a few of the sketches years ago, paid 300 or so for them. Now even the copies go for 900 bucks.
Frank Frazetta was a master and he did some of his best work after surviving a stroke and teaching himself how to paint with his other hand.
He really should have been hired to do the Silmarillion art :gglife
definitely would have fit with the darker tone of silma compared to the rest of LOTR
I almost prefer the most cartoony fantastical style for the hobbit since it helps convey the tone really well

It was done by the same guy!
Here's his rendition of Universal Horror classics.
It fit the hobbit very well, I would have preferred Don Bluth for LoTR.
Walt Disney wanted to do an animated version of the silmarillion or the notes and musings that eventually became the Silmarillion with early hard rock guys doing the music and he wanted Daali, Osamu Tezuka and Frazetta to help.
Tolkien of course had a massive panic attack and shot it down.
Tolkien does not trust disney or anyone that is a massive capitalist to honor his work.
thats why making anything of his work is so hard, cause the relatives still goes by his code of sayign no.
Tolkien be like
“Unless the pope himself draws it I don’t want it”
He thought Disney was corrupting fairy tales by adapting them into movies. He called the dude Morgoth even

He would've been correct if he had said that after Walt bought the farm.He thought Disney was corrupting fairy tales by adapting them into movies. He called the dude Morgoth even
I wonder if those dysgenics will be brave enough to show their faces here without staff protection and with the veterans like this:
Still got that game
It was more a philosophical dispute between the two men and a very intense and personal feud between them.
Disney believed the only way our culture would survive television and all that would spring from television would be if quality people adapted our fables and fairy tales into a medium that young people would watch and he trusted his animators not to Commiefie it.
And to be fair, he was absolutely right.
Tolkien conversely believed such an attempt was doomed due to the hubris of man and because it would cheapen the animation and purge the moral of the story or worse cheapen it.
He too was also absolutely right.
Neither man was wrong. Both were fighting to keep the flame of our stories alive and both men died before they could see the perversions wrought in their names.
It's tragic Tolkien hated him so much. Had they teamed up. A lot of damage might have been mitigated.
That dude looks like Lobo
we need fep
his first action is to mod xeliospazzo
