  • Steveinthecity: When Thor pulls the hammer back to throw, his momentum stops. He has always been able to float or hover once airborne, and he'll remain until the hammer comes back to him.  I guess the winds keep him aloft.

  • Biollante: ok so shouldn't Joe Quesada know that? lol  It made him look a bit stupid imo.

  • Jabroniville: Yeah, that's odd- Thor usually has the Hammer out in front. Though I don't think it's ever explained how he can throw it while in mid-flight and not just plummet like a goof. I wish artists would stop having him do things like that :)

  • Steveinthecity: @Biolante:  Thor uses the hammer to fly. He can throw his hammer during flight and float in one spot until the hammer returns to him. Don't know what Joe Q. was thinking there. I've never seen Thor fly on his own.

  • Biollante: Joe Quesada was drawing Thor on some Disney promo, and he drew him flying with his hammer on his side, now I'm not a Thor junkie, but isn't that actualy inaccurate, doesn't he fly by being dragged by his hammer???

  • Biollante: I'm just glad he's giving back to his fans by revisiting Blade Runner and Alien with Prometheus, I'm sure he's going to deliver too, his legacy as a film maker is on the line since those are his more iconic films

  • Biollante: aesthetics*
    May 20, 2012, 10:58:08 AM
  • Biollante: gonna be hard for anyting to catch up, Ridley Scott is pretty much the top of dark visual design imo, and he drew a lot from Moebius for that film, most fillm makers are not really connected to aestheticas of good fantasy film making in the same way

The Passing Of Frank Frazetta
« on: May 11, 2010, 08:25:10 AM »
Frank Frazetta was the name in fantasy art, creating images of heroic warriors, beautiful women, & fearsome monsters.

His work appeared in comics, such as Creepy, and  on the cover of books & magazines.
He died Monday 05/11/10, of a stroke.
The New York Times referred to his work as "the last gasp of Classicism", and they darn well meant it as a compliment.
One of the greats is gone.

I am just glad to hear that his children were able to settle things before his passing.

Too true, & likely more than my family will be able to do. :(

I love this guy.  Just the way hew drew women, wow. XD  And he was big part of making fantasy cool in a way that it never had been before.  I mean nothing against Tolkien, but I'd rather visit the fantasy worlds of Frazetta much more.  I think it would be really cool if they made more animation based on his work.  I really digged Fire and Ice.

His work is legendary and he leaves a legacy behind.  While he may have passed, he remains with us in his very large contribution to art.
