I've got a Kickstarter project going to add art to an RPG campaign setting for Almuric. We have some initial concept sketches that I'd appreciate some input on. Which best captures the feeling of Almuric and Sword and Planet Adventures in general?
The sketches can be found here: https://plus.google....57701368902383/

I'd like to check out the art but it's asking me to join google +.
anything on FB or maybe you can post the art here?

Sorry about that. I was hoping to limit the number of places I had to look for comments.
You should also be able to find the sketches here: http://www.kickstart...f-almuric/posts
I'll also try to upload them presently.
Thanks!

Nice indeed, I like the composition so far of the panels, especially on frame 2.
Though it has been a while since I read Almuric....did he bring guns with him to Almuric or was it not his essence?
Can't wait to see your inks.

Not my work, by Crom, but the work of this man: http://sheezor.deviantart.com/
The curve in panel 2 (the sweep of the wing, the half arch of the ruins) draws the eye toward the center of the action and is nicely balanced by the winged figure poised in mid-air.
Esau Cairn (Ironhand) arrived on Almuric as naked as the Terminator (and for similar reasons).
Only one of the panels will be chosen. So far the tally is one vote for panel 1, two votes for panel 2 and one vote for panel 4.
And of course, this and other art will only be created if the Kickstarter is successful (spread the word!): http://www.kickstart...f=home_location

They did indeed, according to Graphic Novel by the beautiful Thomas / Conrad, so if Thomas has it there, it must be in original.

I need to reread Almuric tbh, it has been a while. The raw direct writing of Howard was powerful at that time.
Chrs Deuce for correcting me, sorry about the curveball Gaul.
There is another thread somewhere regarding REH Role Playing games btw. I will stick it up when I find up. (U may already have seen it)

GreenGaul, download your Almuric the other day.
I have to say that I am impressed with the quality and production.
Looking forward to seeing what you do withthe OD&D version.
"I vanquished Law once, I'll conquer yet again--
And force upon Mankind the Freedom he fears--
And dead gods I will again defy?"

And dead gods I will again defy?"
