I met him, back in the 1980s, when I was still doing paintings, myself[0]. I was surprised at how short he was.
BTW: He was a bodybuilder, and was the model for many of his paintings. His wife also featured in many.

While being obviously simpler than old school sci-fi/fantasy paperback covers, the scene arrangement and energy is spot on.
The pictures started as 8X10s, taken with a Hasselblad, but the guy that did it (for free, so I didn't complain) was a portrait photographer.
Also, many of the subtle color differences did not come through (like thalo blue vs. thalo green, in Sentinels).
Nowadays, a digital camera could do a lot better.
If you look at the ring on the lizard-finger, you'll see "CDM 84."
