I feel as though it would be inappropriate for me to gush too much over what an upstanding human being Frank Frazetta was, because getting all starry-eyed always cheapens the occasion. He was truly a genre-defining master of his craft as well as an upstanding example of a man living the American dream, he worked hard to be the best at what he did and inspired generations of people to come after him.
I think if you consider yourself to be of the art-inclined persuasion and you feel like Frazetta’s work has made an impact on the way you work, you should draw a barbarian. And then tell all your friends to draw a barbarian. Pass it on to your DA buddies, your Tegaki followers, your school pals, your favourite webcomic artists, anyone you can think of who can pick up a pencil. Draw a barbarian and pass on the word. If it’s any more incentive, tell me about anyone you can get to draw one and I’ll post a collection of them all here. So we can get a big collection of Barbarians for Frank.
I started a group for this over at DA, if you post there at all.

I don’t draw dudes much, but maybe i’ll do it more often, I need to make more awesome manliness.
She’s not all that brilliant and I tried real hard but I have a barbarian!
Unfortunately she’s a woman D: But MANLY women count, right?

Barbarian girls are totally fair game!
Aaawww yyyeeeaaaahhhh
Forever grateful to Frank for what he’s done for the community. Thanks to him illustrators can keep their own art to do with as they please.
I’ll whip together something nice soon.
Mannnn, I am so excited to see what you come up with.
Zara sent me to draw a barbarian for Frank, so draw a barbarian I shall! Will certainly let you know when it’s done!
Fantastic!
So yeah, I can’t draw my way out of a paper bag, so I wrote a little story. Hope you like it!
yo!
You know, for the longest time, I thought he was Cid Highwind.
Pyramid head is a creeper -_-
