trying to recall a fantasy artist from '60s-70s...

Imagine Pygar with dark hair, torn shoulder with metal joint and we’ve got it!

Don’t forget the -tattoo tag when doing google searches!

And so a little nostalgic dream dies an unlamented death. Sigh.

Maybe Al Traina?

You might be closer than you know.

As I recall, these sort of vaguely sf-y, fantasy-y, heroic-y or bigtits-y posters were turned out by the buttload in the 1970s, by obviously competent but no-name artists. These were the kind you found on the back walls of t-shirt, poster and head shops and given away at carnivals and fairs.

Should have seen that Traina at the end of the tunnel coming.:dubious:

You might want to give Rowena Morrell a shot, she did a lot of fantasy book covers way back when.
