Hi folks...I'm new here, but since this is all about fantasy and Conan, I would like to share my stuff with you...hope you'll like it...FLAC is allways welcome...

A little about your humble self...a 52 yo fart, retired and doing all he couldn´t do as a youngster...(because I was working my ass off, man, that's why)...he does oils, pencils and digital, a fan of fantasy, martial arts philosophy and languages...plus music, mostly classic in essence and spirit...and classic progressive rock and blues.

Cheers and my respects to all in this forum...

Here's an early drawing, man "early"? Pre-historic so to speak...

It's a large pencil drawing, thus details are a little fuzzy, old digital camera too didn't help

An illustration for JRR Tolkien's "Of Tuor and His Coming To Gondolin"

A 1982 Conan Depiction, jezz, I was 22 at the time...it flies.

leaving most warriors drooling and staring.
After I danced with my exotic flesh baring
I would vanish into the new Sunrise glaring."

DAY-UM!

Man, I'm having flashbacks to the 70s and the high-end fanzines of the era (think Stephen Fabian.)

This art should be in books!

All great work. I especially like the first one. It's dynamic and action-packed. I love that it's a frozen moment from the climax of a fight that looks like it could go either way. The story just seems to want to explode out of it. I really like all of them. If this is what you were doing back in the day, I'd really like to see your newer stuff!

Wonderful stuff!
"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

Fantastic work!

that is some great work man, love the black and white.
i like these better than your 3D ones, don't get me wrong both look great, i just prefer the "pencil" style better to computer art.

Your art has that darkness (and light) I would like to see in Conan Comics and Movies. It also has some “ancient” mood, dust and rust that reminds me of Fallout video games…

Thank you for sharing!

Is this pencil? If so, fantastic effect of light and liquid!

I too, like your pencils even better than your color work.
