Lee Seitz blogged about this illustration by Steve
Fastner and
Rich
Larson back in May this year you can see the original posting here: http://lkseitz.blogspot.com/2012/05/fastner-and-larson-rom-illustration.html The first time I laid eyes on it I immediately thought about all those cool Heavy Metal magazine covers that always managed to mix amazing fantasy and sci-fi renderings with exotic women complete with curvy bodies and minimal clothing.

I wasn't a regular collector of Heavy Metal magazine but I did have a few issues. Here are a couple of my favorite covers from the issues I had.
The Brothers Hildebrandt which I just featured a couple of postings ago did the cover art on the left and on the right is by
Simon Bisely.

Just before I put together that Rom Heavy Metal mock up I found this sketch of the finished illustration on Comic Art Fans. Although I like the colored version I also happen to like this black n white quite a bit too. I would have loved to have seen it inked just before they applied color too it. I think this could have really made for an excellent black n white illustration. Be sure to magnify it there's some nice details not to be missed.
