i guess all she needed for a character reference was a mirror instead of a model lol
I’m sorry Wolfenstein?! Absolute fucking dope ass chick
Wow, she looks amazing. Like, naturally strong AND talented. Def old school cool!
Holy crap I played so much golden axe as a child
Casually being strong in two completely different ways
Julie Bell’s art is pure fire, inspiring legends!
A badass. She was married to Boris Vallejo too, talk about a power couple.
I just love that Axe Battler, Legend of the Golden Axe, has a dude with a sword on the cover.
Wow, shes seriously impressive! Such talent and dedication.
She’s the one ☝️
Wow, shes so talented and strong! I love her art.
Legend
Those last 2 were definitely self-portraits, lol.
She’s a bad ass.
I saw a post about Frank Frazetta and looked up the other seminal fantasy artist, Boris Vallejo. In the process I discovered he and Julie Bell have been married for more than 30 years.
Talk about a creative power couple.
Fucking mommy holy shit
whoa, many of these i thought were boris vallejo. turns out they were married!
I have that Rogue comic.
Your honor!
Ohh dem boyz and galz over in r/wolfenstein would love this!!
She reminds me of those posts that get 100 upvotes when just the art is posted and 100,000 upvotes when it’s a photo of the artist standing next to the art.
Julie bell and boris vallejo was the catalyst that kick started my art journey and to this day her work is still up there for me
Now go follow her on insta. She drops new paintings every month
I love art like this.
Some of the photos I remember from a Wizard magazine article on her.
Wow. I have definitely enjoyed her art! Fascinating she used herself as a template
Wow!
I love that art style. Reminds me of all those 80s fantasy book covers from my older brothers collection as a kid.
Had to look up if she did the cover art for battletech only to find out that was her husband’s work (Boris Vallejo).
It is so cool how she blends strength and creativity in a way that feels effortless and inspiring.
Truly OldSchool Cool, what a champ she is
She is perfect
