Great job for a great character.
I love Death Dealer, unfortunately a little known character.
I made this set 1 year ago, based on the version of Dark Kingdom
Thanks! Yeah there are just so many versions of the character it was hard for me to decide on which version to depict.
Have you thought about hanging some light chainmail of the main helm in front of the mouthplate? I saw some early sketches that had that. They were older ones, looser and livlier before he had the stroke, so I would guess before he did the sketches for Danzig's comic or the statues. I always thought it would explain the vague detail he kept for effect in the paintings.
I will look through some of my older books, but I saw them over 2 decades ago in person, I was a kid and it was before the new Museum. There were stacks of sketches and books with plastic sleeves full of stuff so nothing solid that I remember. It's sad that the family is selling off stuff, it might be impossible to see all the works together soon. If you have the chance to get one of the Master's Collection paintings, definitely do so. They aren't as nice as the originals, but I stare at them just as long. lol.Ive seen other artists depict it with the chainmail and I had thought about cutting the mouth out and trying that on a custom version. But I haven't ever seen Frank sketch it that way.
If you come across images of these sketches please feel free to forward them on to me.
