My name is Jaime Carrillo and I'd like to submit my piece Thor for the
Frazetta Tribute Exhibition.
In trying to keep with the specifications of the competition, I looked
to paint a piece that would evoke the feeling of a Frazetta without
being a copy of his style. For this I looked at not only Frazetta
pieces, but also those that were influenced by him.
I studied paintings by Brom, Frank Cho, and Jeffrey Jones in an attempt
to get a feel for what they took from his works and almost without
exception it was strong composition and use of color. A friend suggested
the theme with the posit: With the Thor movie coming out next year, how
would Frazetta treat the subject if he took the assignment for the movie
poster? Without trying to mimic his style, I attempted to generate the
feel of a Frazetta, keeping detail to a minimum and focusing on
composition and feeling, using the lessons I gleaned from both him and
those he influenced.
Thank you for considering my submission,
