Hi all!
This is my vision of the new Conan played by Jason Momoa.
I think with my tuning he could look the part,ha ha.
I did this drawing just for fun,so dont take it too seriously.
I have used a photo of Jason Momoa as Reference and Inspiration.
It is still wip.
Regards,Croms mercy.

Wow! I don't see much resemblance to Jason Momoa, but that's one of the best depictions of Conan that I've ever seen!!! Hells, it might be the best! The build and the facial expression are perfect. Love the scars and the light hair on the chest and arms. Your work is fantastic! Got any links to see more of your art?

OK, if we're not supposed to take that seriously, what does your serious Conan look like? 
"Did you deem yourself strong, because you were able to twist the heads off civilized folk, poor weaklings with muscles like rotten string? Hell! Break the neck of a wild Cimmerian bull before you call yourself strong. I did that, before I was a full-grown man...!" - Conan, in "Shadows in Zamboula", by Robert E. Howard
"... you speak of Venarium familiarly. Perhaps you were there?"
"I was," grunted [Conan]. "I was one of the horde that swarmed over the hills. I hadn't yet seen fifteen snows, but already my name was repeated about the council fires." - "Beyond the Black River", by Robert E. Howard

Croms mercy, you mean it's "based upon the pic featuring Momoa" I guess, right?
For me it features the kind of Conan we're used to see on book and comics covers, but here it isn't Momoa anymore, you've "conanized" him too much eheheh (you did well in fact)
Adequate musculature and facial features, although the skin is greyish it would look better bronzed but it's not the end of the world.

There is a slight tinge of his resemblance and I'm really glad there is not much resemblance... this one looks great, the other...Wow!

Great drawings, BTW!! You look like a professional artist or at least someone who has had proper art training.

You draw one mean-looking Conan.

It's terrific. Conan in "repose" but looking dangerous as hell.

Conan asleep is more dangerous than most hardend warriors are awake lol. This is awesome work. Better than the first one IMO. Keep it up.It's terrific. Conan in "repose" but looking dangerous as hell.

"Know, O Prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars--Nemedia, Ophir, Brythunia, Hyperborea, Zamora with its dark-haired women and towers of spider-haunted mystery, Zingaria with its chivalry, Koth that bordered on the pastoral lands of Shem, Stygia with its shadow-guarded tombs, Hyrkania whose riders wore steel and silk and gold. But the proudest kingdom in the world was Aquilonia, reigning supreme in the dreaming west. Hither came Conan the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a SLAYER, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandaled feet."
....."let me live deep while I live , know the rich juices of red meat and stinging wine on my palate , the hot embrace of white arms , the mad exultation of battle when the blue-blades flame and crimson - and I am content. Let teachers priests and philosphers brood on questions of reality and illusion . I know this much ; if life is an illusion , then I am no less an illusion , and being so that illusion is real to ME .I live , I burn with life , I love , I SLAY , and I am content . "

I like that sword. Looks like a depiction of Damascus steel.

classy work as ever mate. Can you translate your work to comics? If so, get some of it sent to DH because it'll work better for what they are churning out lately.

These are great. I kind of liked the spiked codpiece. I wonder if they will ever come back into fashion? (I would reintroduce the wearing of swords and duelling too If I had my way).

Just something you dashed off in a red hot minute with one eye closed and one hand tied behind your back, eh?
