Realize there might be other things on sale today...but I'd really appreciate it if you considered buying a physical print of your favorite piece of painfully detailed pixel art instead 😅🙏

That will show Jeff Bezos and the rest!

RETURN OF THE KING OF THE DEAD (2025)
Acrylic on Gessobord - 12” x 9”

www.michaelwhelan.com/galleries/re...

2/2
With Stormbringer in hand, Elric wheels in surprise as mist swirls and gives way to an enormous skeletal figure. The tip of a trident points down at the albino warrior, who wears a yellow tunic over scaled armor and a brilliant red cloak that captures his turning motion. The lich king wears a gold helm with horns curling back. The purple fabric covering it is in tatters, revealing a segmented gold shoulder belt and other jewelry. Its desiccated skin is shriveled on bone, making it clear the figure is undead. Points of red light shine in the shadowed orbitals of its skull. The pale green cloud billowing around the villain is populated by horrific visages of demons.

Open your heart and learn to believe in hope again with the latest episode of "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms," which highlights all the reasons Dunk and Egg are worth rooting for, even in the grim, cynical world of Westeros...

Cormac Mac Art, by Henry Bismuth from Savage Tales 1985-86. Love the Cormac books from Andrew J. Offutt. Apparently, he was also a prolific artist of smut books. His son Chris wrote about it in his book, "My Father the Pornographer: A Memoir". #sword&sorcery #fantasy #booksky #conanthebarbarian
Henry Bismuth pencils and inks; Robert E. Howard's Cormac Mac Art pin-up; 1986. Bunch of armored men fighting. Cover of My Father, the Pornographer: A Memoir by Chris Offutt. A stack of vintage books with writing on them

Richard Corben's unique style first caught my eye in Creepy and Eerie Magazines. Bright, weird, and nightmarish, he left behind an incredible body of work when he passed in 2020 at the age of 80. #sword&sorcery #fantasyart #fantasyillustration #richardcorben

Glen Cook's "Black Company" series is a VV favorite. Terse, tense, funny, and heavily indebted to LOTR, these tales from Croaker the Annalist and his anti-hero comrades read like dispatches from some modern war. Cook's stellar SF books are also worth tracking down. #sword&sorcery #fantasy #booksky
Four vintage paperback covers from Glen Cook's Black Company series. 1. A masked and cowled person stabs a pentagram. 2. Man is taken aback by floating head. 3. Lightning strikes big tree with human face. 4. Demon dog looks back at audience in weird setting.
