Let's face it: the man was a legend, a giant of the illustration business. He is, was, and will probably be, a huge influence on western fantasy and fantasy in general, and I'm certain he has inspired through his art countless games and game heroes, scenery, and monsters.

Rock that big canvas in the sky, Frank.

Frazetta's art is truly awesome stuff, and I have no doubt that people decades from now will be admiring his work. I can't imagine what games like Brutal Legend would've looked like if it weren't for his influential artwork.
