This is my cosplay I built which is a replica of Frank Frazetta's vision of the Witch King from Lord of the rings. The concept art is a single pen and ink drawing of a ferocious Witch King going in for the Kill against a defeated Eowyn..or is she! Note added 2-13-17. It took me forever to figure out how to add pics to the post so here they are along with some I added as a reply to my own post!

I love Frank Frazetta´s illustrations, the Witch King is awesome.
I did the helmet and axe of his Deathdealer and I'm working on the rest of the suit.

Frazetta's Death Dealer is, too me, his best painting! And martigalli, that helmet and axe are the bomb. Problem with this costume is...the horse (mean looking horse that one)

I have now built two complete Death Dealer costumes. One is a Heavy Metal version which borrows from wow. The other is his classic build which I have a body builder wear. I have a new helm that I will post soon which shows an appreciation for the notes Frazetta drew for Randy Bowen the sculptor when he sculpted the first Death Dealer Statue (on horseback)

Thanks for your kindness. To be honest I failed to credit my friend Danny Kelly who is a body builder for the incredible physique! He is a cosplayer comic book nerd from Georgia and a great guy. And he works hard in the Gym. His Superman cosplay is on point.
