Al Williamson Tribute

Al Williamson Tribute

Just right after Frazetta a few weeks back, we lost another true master of the illustrated literature.
Al Williamson, probably even more than Frazetta but as much as Alex Raymond, has been a huge inspiration fo mine, so I definitely planned to do a tribute to the man when I heard the sad news.
Along with fellow twartist, we decided to devote this week to Al Williamson, so I have been posting this on the Comic Twart yesterday and I am reposting it in here today with a detail/closeup on the "Easter Egg" I inserted in the composition.
I am planning to have a colored version of this up in here soon.
Hope you guys dig the EC sci-fi vibe of it.

So long, Al, thanks for the constant inspiration.

Cheers,
Francesco
