Description

Roy G. Krenkel - Smilodon Attacking Wild Horses Illustration Original Art (1981). Fantasy master, Roy G. Krenkel, imbues this primordial fight for survival with a savage grace and energy. Rendered in blue pencil on a sheet of illustration paper, the image area measures 17.5" x 11.5". Signed and dated by Roy G. Krenkel at the lower right.

Krenkel, Roy G.:Roy G. Krenkel (American, 1918-1983): A tireless draftsman, Roy G. Krenkel, or RGK, was inspired by classic illustrators Norman Lindsay, Franklin Booth, Joseph Clement Coll and J. Allen St. John. He attended Burne Hogarth's classes at the Cartoonists and Illustrators School, where he met a group of young cartoonists that included Frank Frazetta and Al Williamson. Krenkel sometimes collaborated with his friends on their pages that were drawn for EC. His splash page contribution to Williamson's "Food for Thought" in Incredible Science Fiction #32 is a highly detailed alien landscape that is often cited as a stellar achievement in comic book illustration. Krenkel also created over 20 paperback book cover paintings, as well as the frontispieces for Edgar Rice Burroughs and other fantasy writers published at Ace Books. In the late 1960s Lancer Books reissued Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian, and Krenkel was credited by cover artist Frank Frazetta as a key artistic adviser. Krenkel also created numerous cover concept roughs which Frazetta adapted for his celebrated paintings for Warren Publishing's Creepy and Eerie magazines .
