Over the last few years, Mexican artist Rafael Gallur has become a go to painter for action. A regular painter of amazing lucha libre magazine covers, he channels the energy of Frazetta into modern cover art, something very lacking on this side of the border. And since his art doesn't quite fit into the usual comic-oriented Great Art feature, I thought it was time to give him his own feature here at Super Powered Fiction. Few painters can match the power he brings.
Cibernetico isn't as recognizable a luchador as some. He has been maskless since early in his career and never quite received the attention in America that many Mexican talents have over the years. But Gallur brings him to life with a true flare here and even presents quite a looming threat in the robot monster behind him!
Be sure to head over to Gallur's DeviantArt to check out more work by him and order some of his amazing work as prints. After you're done admiring his work, don’t forget to check out some of the other great stuff from me this week!
