Notable not just for his artwork, but also for his savvy business sense: He was able to successfully negotiate to license the artworks he created rather than selling them outright to his clients as was customary at the time. By the time of his death, the artwork he'd collected in his personal museum was worth several million dollars.

* HeroicBuild: Many of his male figures. Frazetta Himself is a good example being a great athlete and having a lean muscular build he owed to doing weights and calisthenics to a high level.

* RidiculousProcrastinator: Painted almost all of his works start to finish ''within a day of their deadlines''. This would leave him so exhausted he'd be bedridden for the next few days.

->"It was the whiff of something classical, a merging of the visceral with the timeless, pure comic sensation with the compositional command of a master."

* {{Stripperiffic}}: Drew a lot of characters this way. Interestingly, he was fairly equal opportunity with this trope, drawing male and female figures alike wearing little other than loincloths, if even that much.

* CoversAlwaysLie - Frazetta was open about not bothering to read the books he drew covers for.
