Sanjulian.
Perfect. His nose has been hacked open, dented helmet, huge animal fangs on his neck. Tells a story right there.

On the bright side, we're not to that part of the story yet. There's still time, brother...

Joe Jusko is my favorite! Anytime I find a comic or anything by him I snap it up. If I could get an original piece of art by Joe I'd have to take out a small loan but it would be worth it. 
Description
I haven't painted a Conan cover in almost 15 years. While the Savage Sword covers were a great time in my career, I did them while still in my early to mid twenties, still teaching myself how to paint. I've always wanted another crack at the big lug, so I was extremely excited when Tom Stewart asked me to paint the cover to his new book, "By This Axe I Rule!" 'Conan and the Battle for the Robert E. Howard Legacy' to be published by Hermes Press. 15"x21" on Bainbridge Board. BTW, for whatever reason my scanner is just not capturing this piece properly. I'll have a better scan up as soon as I get film of it shot.

Jeffrey Jones should have done more Conan. Kane work is brilliant. A true loss.

Joe Jusko's Conan is so brilliantly realistic, oozes power and primal man. Did he work in digital, if so still pretty good. If painted, he could give old Boris a run for his money!

What a relief to see the real Conan!
"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
