I like your artwork, Zombihamma. Do you have a DeviantArt account?

Really nice drawing. Couple of things I noticed.
1) Conan's blow is a critical hit if there ever was one. No way that villain will survive that. Maybe too brutal for a comic cover but I like it.
2) I like the tattoo's - I love small details like that on a cover where too often the image is detail less.
3) Conan looks disinterested in his blow and the effect of it. He should be looking the villain in the eye as he kills him. I don't see Conan being disinterested in a battle - for him it should be his entire world at that moment. Maybe have a more involved visage or just change the direction of his stare.
Thanks for sharing - I would love to see it colored.

I don't know. I liked it generally too, but the "disinterested look" is I think intentional. Conan knows he's going to die. Something of a Zatoichi style, although I know Zatoichi is blind, but you know what I mean...

Man, I just don't see it! To me it looks like Conan has an intense personal hatred for the guy he has just smote.3) Conan looks disinterested in his blow and the effect of it.

To me it seems that Conan is already looking at the next villain coming towards him ( off page of course ). That's probably why he already has his right fist ready to strike with next. Very dynamic if you ask me...

Love it. Though a wee bit too bloody for the cover. It looks like he's plowing a little too high: through the ribcage/sternum, instead of just below it. Is that strike described explicitly in the yarn?

It's not directly from the story. Looks like Conan was aiming for the heart, and took it.

Yea, i guess when its just another repeated day of carnage and mayhem you dont focus on the swinging the blade like you use to.
The axe swings... limbs fly in all directions... one can hear the groans of victims and the howling of those performing the sacrifice... it's Humanity in search of happiness.
