Classic Astérix illustrator Albert Uderzo passed away in early 2020 at the ripe old age of 92, and many artists did lovely, touching tribute art to Uderzo at the time, including the one above by Polish-American artist Bill Sienkiewicz.
Sienkiewicz has been working in both the fine art & comics fields for many decades, and his stuff tends to be rather breathtaking and wildly imaginative, quite unlike the usual comic art fare. In the case of Astérix he made the interesting decision to base his tribute on a Frank Frazetta piece, below.
Frazetta was yet another iconic artist in the vein of Boris Vallejo, with a touch of Richard Corben, often painting lush swords & sorcery pieces. [samples] My personal favorite work of Frazetta's was his collaboration with Ralph Bakshi on Fire & Ice, an animated film using the painstaking rotoscope process, in which the individual cells were drawn over live action reference material.
Some clips and full movie videos below. Check out the fluid movement of the figures, and remember-- this is a film from 1983!
