So much silliness from this.
King chess with his chessboard robe playing on a checkerboard table against other chess dude while random bikini model is just vibing for whatever reason
She's busy being hot there.
Initially I thought she was meant to be a bellydancer, but I just noticed the chains. So she's a prisoner.
This deserves analysis. I'll get to it sometime next week lol
I think the analysis is dude wanted to paint some boobs to fill in otherwise empty space. Ken was a fantasy artist and I'm not trying to degrade the genre as a whole, but they aren't exactly on some Guernica stuff. Love me some Frazzeta too but what you saw was largely what you got with him.
I woulda guessed it was slop, even with the "83" date on it. However it's the cover of an old fantasy novel: https://www.amazon.com/Players-Gor-Tarl-Cabot-Saga/dp/0352315024
Oh, it's Gor stuff. That makes way more sense.
