Description

"Man," said he, "tell me your name, so that my brothers in Vanaheim may know who was the last of Wulfhere's band to fall before the sword of Heimdul."
"Not in Vanaheim," growled the black-haired warrior, "but in Valhalla will you tell your brothers that you met Conan of Cimmeria." The Frost-Giant's Daughter - Robert E. Howard


An experiment focusing on the musculature of the character's torso. Normally I use cold hues for shadows (various blues and greenish tones) and warmer tones for my highlights (golds, oranges etc). Here I have done the opposite, cold light and warm shadows) and I find I rather like the effect.

Always been a huge R. E Howard fan.
Kill 'em all, let Crom sort 'em out!

This looks more to the character than the recent Hollywood cash-out. He seems aged by the experiences he's been through and the haggard expression shows how much hell he's been through in his life.
