Artist's Comments
Conan, one of my favorite charcters of Robert E. Howard.
This drawing is another in a pencil art style change that I've been experimenting with. I would say that it's a hybrid between comic book use of black and traditional pencil use. So far I'm liking the results. I'm also trying to fill in the white space and stay aware of the negative and positive areas. Nothing mind blowing but new to me, enjoy!  Comments and critique always welcomed. (EDIT) Made corrections to hand and sword. |

I find only one flaw, the sword.
First off, the hilt looks bent in Conan's hands. They look like they are at an angle to one another instead of stacked. Also, the foreshortening of the blade makes the lines looked twisted in an Escher-esque fashion, so depending on how I look at it, the sword seems pointed toward me or away from me. An optical illusion that has always made me nauseous.
The rest is well done and well conceived, so I rather like it. The tension of Conan's muscles communicates the "I'm going to kill you, NOW" expression of his face. Really quite good for your first attempt at this hybridization of styles and techniques. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for pointing out the sword problem man, sometimes I'll notice a mistake and let it ride thinking it might just be me. I'm glad when someone else points problems, your critique was/is very much appreciated.
