"Wrath of the Vallarian" after Boris Vallejo' Axe Man from "Gillkarth's Odyssey" (1998).
As an epic fantasy painter, Boris Vallejo had a great influence on 1980s and 90s fantasy book covers, computer game box art, and the demoscene. Through the decades, his works have been replicated by pixel artists. This article features fantasy art history, demoscene drama, and a lot of pixel art fun.
In this video, I take a shot at drawing from the art of Boris Vallejo to create an imitation piece using only four colors.
