    This is awesome! Dark Souls II is a personal favorite. This piece really reminds me of old school fantasy art from the 70s/80s. Great application of color theory, framing, and perspective. Thank you for sharing and I hope you share more!

      You got it right! Azpiri’s first comic is from 1971 and did many covers in the old days. More examples in the linked source, and an extra one here:

        I’d never heard of Azpiri - Lorna and Blackthorne look fantastic. Thank you for sharing internet friend 👍

        His art is awesome, reminds me of Frazetta. Do you have any favorite comics of his that you would reccomend?

          His art is awesome, reminds me of Frazetta.

          I dind’t want to describe Azpiri as the “Spanish Frazetta” (EDIT: maybe “with a Moebius touch”?) because it can sound pretentious :P, but I see some truth there.

          Do you have any favorite comics of his that you would reccomend?

          I grew up reading Mot, his most children-safe comic, but I cannot find anything in Enlgish.

          On Anna’s Archive you can find some of his more adult comics:

          But I’m not an expert, so I cannot recommend anything in particular.
